Congress should start inserting the following language into EVERY piece of legislation.

“This legislation and the subject matter therewith is hereby removed from the jurisdiction of all inferior courts”.

Over time they’ll have nothing to do. And SCOTUS won’t be able to handle a deluge of whacky lawsuits.

This is exactly what is going to happen EVERY thing Trump tries to do is going to sent to the Judiciary grind. Best case is everything will be slowed to a crawl. Worst much of what he tries to do will be stopped.

“This legislation and the subject matter therewith is hereby removed from the jurisdiction of all inferior courts”.

Once again, it doesn't matter a whit what the constitution actually means, or what a myriad of laws, rules, regulations, EOs, directives, etc say, if the judiciary is able to interpret without restraint from Congress.

Oh, sure, there's been all kinds of gnashing of teeth and heated proclamations regarding Congressional oversight, but have any judges been impeached? Have any courts inferior to the SC been chastised? No and no. Thinks it's going to happen in the near future? LOL The courts are currently operating exactly the way Congress intends: as an ally to preserve the status quo and thwart any reform efforts Trump attempts to make.

Let's use the example you provided above to illustrate how the current situation would currently play out: a federal district court would rule in favor of a competing constitutional claim and negate the very language included in the law just passed.

Trump decides to ignore the court ruling, assuming Congress has his back. Congress then moves to impeach on the grounds of contempt of court. You see how this works? The name of the game isn't what Congress says or does. Rather, it actually comes down to the composition of the individuals in the legislative body.

It's way too risky for Trump to let this prematurely enter the realm of impeachment. His/our enemies are currently way too strong to take that chance. Rather, he needs to get back out on the campaign trail by targeting a multitude vulnerable districts.

This is his really true strength: to speak directly to the American people by using the bully pulpit to explain what is occurring, and how the issue can be resolved. That is, unless the courts rule that Trump can no longer travel and/or speak on behalf or in opposition to congressional candidates. (LOL - sort of)
