  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.

  Republicans are no longer conservative. They are the exact opposite: Radical.

    Republicans cannot achieve their goals democratically and they aren’t going to change their goals, they are going to abandon democracy

  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.
