Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson asserted that Congress has the authority to eliminate entire district courts, control funding, and oversee the judiciary.
He described such actions as necessary in “desperate times” due to judges blocking Trump’s policies through nationwide injunctions.
Johnson announced plans for a House Judiciary Committee hearing to address “abuses” and advanced legislation to limit judges’ power to issue such injunctions.
He later clarified his remarks were not a threat but emphasized congressional control.
To be clear, Trump didn’t even get 50% of the popular vote (49.8%).
29.5% of Americans over 18 years of age voted for him.
He does not have an overwhelming mandate to destroy the United States.
The majority of Americans didn’t vote to keep Trump out of office.
Exactly.
This is a bullshit number because anyone who had a chance to vote against Trump and didn’t is to blame too.
It’s still a relevant fact tho
