‘We can eliminate an entire district court’: Mike Johnson threatens anti-Trump, activist judges

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.

The U.S. Constitution specifically sets up the Supreme Court.

It does not do the same with lower courts: It leaves that up the Congress, a fact that House Speaker Mike Johnson has pointed out to a list of activist judges who have delivered partisan injunctions against President Donald Trump’s agenda, injunctions that follow a leftist partisan line and encroach on the authorities of the executive branch.

“We do have authority over the federal courts,” he explained.
