Although I have little confidence in the GOP’s having the stones to do anything so bold, Congress could quickly checkmark the nutty 95th by establishing a new article III court to hear all immigration, naturalization and citizenship cases, and reassign all pending such cases to that court, which can have been staffed with a new crop of Trump appointed judges, selected with an eye to finding jurists inclined to derive their decisions from the law and the constitution instead of the “thinking” of La Raza, MSNBC, and Saturday Night Live.

Congress under Thomas Jefferson created a new article III court and reassigned pending cases. In that case, they even dissolved the previous court, leaving the judges on the defunct court without a job, notwithstanding their supposed lifetime appointments. The Supreme Court upheld the action (Stuart v. Laird, 1803).

While I doubt that Congress would want to, or even get away with it if they did, imagine the reaction of the loony left if Congress threatened to disolve the 9th and reassign all pending cases to a newly established and suitably staffed court of appeals. They’d go bat-s**t crazy.

“checkmark” = “checkmate”. I swear, I think Soros’ minions have taken over autocorrect.
