Normally I just ignore or admonish articles about stupid nonstarter ideas like this, but this isn't some fringe lone congressman: it's the Speaker of the House. This shit is serious.
cooked I tell ya
Republicans are no longer conservative. They are the exact opposite: Radical.
Republicans/MAGA cannot achieve their goals democratically and they aren't going to change their goals, they are going to abandon democracy
Law, law, we don't need no stinken law..
Wake up America it's happening!

As far as I understand. US federal courts exist under Article Three of the United States Constitution. It requires only that the US has a Supreme Court, and it allows Congress to also create other ("inferior") federal courts. I take it Congress can also remove these courts, so at least the Speaker isn't proposing to violate the Constitution.
LOL, that is impossible without completely re-writing the Constitution and he absolutely knows it.
