#2 Nuke option. Paying attention Justice Roberts?
FDR's 'Pack the Court' game in play, except instead of packing, send them packing.

#3 This headline stinks to high heavens. How about
"House speaker reminds USA that Congress has authority to regulate federal courts below the level of the US Supreme Court".
This is not a "nuke option" This is not impeachment. This is not a "chilling new threat". This may be "uncommon" but is no ways illegal. Abolition of the DC District Court actually happened in 1863 and it was no big deal at the time. Chief Justice Roberts recent BS pronouncement "For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision." was an inappropriate response to the spate of insane federal judicial decisions and the spinelessness of the Supremes. Congress and only Congress has the authority & responsibility to impeach federal judges. A Supreme Court justice has no standing on the issue of impeachment, except perhaps to preside over an impeachment trial. It will be interesting to read what crap Roberts will come up with in response to this CHILLING NEW THREAT /S.

#6 Judges serve for LIFE.

If people are pushed hard enough, or get angry enough, they can do "unusual" things. People have been getting angrier and angrier for more than a decade now. That pressure requires an outlet. Civil war, rioting, open rebellion, are only a few of the choices that MIGHT be made. Someone needs to remind people to "stay in their own lane" or those choices WILL be made. That's human nature, as history records time and time again.

#7 "Judges serve for LIFE" Not in the following case:
William Matthew S. Merrick (1818-1899) was appointed federal associate justice of the United States Circuit Court of the District of Columbia by President Franklin Pierce. Merrick served in that court until its abolition by act of Congress. On March 3, 1863, Congress abolished the federal Circuit Court, district court, and criminal court of the District of Columbia, and replaced them with the "Supreme Court of the District of Columbia". This resulted in the removal of judges from the bench (including Judge Merrick) who had ruled against the US in United States ex rel. Murphy v. Porter. Merrick returned to Maryland and resumed the practice of law. He lived another 36 years after losing his position on the abolished federal DC court. He was not impeached. He may have been a federal judge for life, but the court he served on had been legally abolished, so that his "service" for life had become moot.

#8 A judge is appointed to a bench. Eliminate the bench itself and they are relegated to the good court. They don’t get to lateral move.
