Related: About this forumTrump Keeps Losing in Court, So House Speaker Mike Johnson says . . . "Eliminate Courts"??? - Glenn Kirschner
Donald Trump is running up an impressive losing streak in court after court. But rather than urging Trump and his administration to stop violating the law and the Constitution, House Speaker Mike Johnson said the following: "We do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court."
This video takes on the dire consequences of this reckless rhetoric from Speaker Johnson. - Glenn Kirschner - 03/26/2025.

appalled, but no.

Johnson needs to brush up on the Constitution!

It is good to see you! My participation has been very spotty recently. I developed cataracts which were causing much blurring, but because of other problems, I didn't get an appointment right away. I have now had both eyes done, but it's still very blurry. I hope this ends soon.

(233,288 posts)4. Yikes! Great to see you, my friend!
And I can see how the cataracts would slow you down here! I took my friend for cataract surgery during Covid and was stuck in my car in the next county at 6:30 AM (not my best hour) and he's still going back occasionally for checkups. Hoping that the blurriness clears up soon!
