That bill is so fucking bonkers. And also absolutely unconstitutional. There’s 3 coequal branches for a reason. One branch cannot simply make a law that cuts it the 3rd branch.

Edit:

Cause still can’t get over their stupidity, what they say:

“The congress is elected to make law. The president is elected to enforce it. The judiciary is appointed for the sole purpose of resolving cases and controversies brought to it by individual injured parties.” - Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif).

What USA.gov says:

The judicial branch includes the Supreme Court and other federal courts.

It evaluates laws by:

  • Interpreting the meaning of laws
  • Applying laws to individual cases
  • Deciding if laws violate the Constitution

They're just going to strike it down as illegal, it's why they aren't going apeshit about it.
