They intentionally write laws that are vague, that they think are unConstitutional, that include words like reasonable which mean reasonable to the swing vote on the court.

Used to be, we had a ‘out’ as well: Void for vagueness.

Course, that too falls into the ‘falls back to Congress’, which has shown is incapable of doing its job a/o enforcing its power\authority

The law schools produce these activist judges. A giant in the teaching and textbook authorship part of the profession said that now, judges decide the result they want in a case and skew words to get there.

The only remedy is lawyers trained in true legal philosophy, reasoning and ethics.

I wouldn’t think there would be anything preventing that. But I think the Executive needs a dedicated task force maybe within the justice department that has a sole mission to review judges that overstep their bounds and build the case.

Can it be done? And if does President Trump have the right to select or install judges?

Congress has the authority to "Constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court" (Art I, Sect 8, Para 9).

It could dissolve the 9th Circuit, and then reconstitute it as any number of new Circuits.

The President can then nominate new judges, after they've been fully vetted, to fill these open spots.
