Facing pressure from his right flank to take on judges who have ruled against President Donald Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Tuesday floated the possibility of Congress eliminating some federal courts.

“We do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power of funding over the courts and all these other things,” Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. “But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.”

Mikey needs to get his head out of Trump’s butt and keep his eye on the ball. He needs to focus on the debt ceiling and the budget. Enough procrastination. If the House is going to appropriate in line with the DOGE cuts, it has a lot of governing to do.

They could drop the DC court and just move those cases to random assignment to other courts.

He looks like a little leprechaun. I am surprised they picked him to lead.

When Kevin McCarthy was picked to be Speaker, they picked him because he was dumb enough to agree to do it. When they fired him, they had to find someone even dumber.

True but Johnson is dumber in an evil way.

What is wrong with these people? They’re afraid of their own shadow. How can they be religious with such hateful attitudes?

I doubt this detail, but that would be hilarious if true.

Why do you doubt this detail? Some of those supposedly conservative congress people have been caught doing the worse dirt.

I'm leaning towards maybe not true, but 45% chance it is real. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

Honestly, it could be true, but there's not enough information to verify the claims at this point. Its also possible someone was just impersonating him for entertainment. I kinda feel bad for him tbh if this is true. I'm sure he grew up in a very religious/conservative household and he was told that being gay is the worst thing in the world.

It does seem like there is a general trend that the most anti-gay politicians are more likely to be closeted gays.

EXCUSE me, but why do you think the Chief Justice should “chine (sic) in”? Yes he is the “head” of the Judicial Branch as a whole but that is just ceremonial. He can’t “chine (sic) in” on matters that might come before SCOTUS.

Plus, don’t you realize he would AGREE that troublesome courts need to be eliminated? Not to mention other Judicial organizations that cause problems. The Federal Public Defenders constantly undercut the rest of the Judiciary with their demands for more more more. Wouldn’t it make sense for the most wasteful, like the ones who drag out death penalty cases, to get eliminated or go through some things? I’m sure the Chief Justice thinks so, but he’s supposed to “chine in”?

This is both incredibly annoying and totally stupid. No, the federal public defenders are not undercutting the judiciary. Where do you even get these ridiculous ideas? Federal public defenders work incredibly hard for not much money and not much prestige. And we all benefit from their work, which helps to protect our constitutional guarantees in this country. Also, what do you mean by "go through some things"? You're on thin ice there. And you haven't the foggiest idea what CJ Roberts thinks.
