We need a Judiciary Act along the following lines:
A new Judiciary Act along these lines would need to define judicial overreach, establish enforcement mechanisms, and create clear penalties for
judges who violate their oath by engaging in political decision-making. Some possible provisions could include:
Prohibition on Political Interference: Explicitly barring federal judges from issuing rulings that intrude on the exclusive constitutional powers of the President or Congress.
Judicial Disciplinary Panel: A specialized body (perhaps within the Judicial Conference or an independent commission) to investigate and punish judges who violate their oath or commit transgressions that do not rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors or impeachment.
Ban on Political Involvement: Preventing judges from financially supporting, endorsing, or publicly commenting on political matters, with clear penalties for violations.
Expedited Review Process: Fast-tracking appeals for cases where lower court judges have obstructed constitutional executive authority, ensuring swift resolution by higher courts.
Accountability Mechanism for Constitutional Ignorance: Requiring federal judges to demonstrate a working knowledge of the text and original meaning of the Constitution, with removal as a possible consequence for repeated violations.
This could be a major step in restoring judicial neutrality and preventing politically motivated rulings from shaping national policy. Would you like help drafting a formal proposal or refining specific legal mechanisms?
I think I'll send these ideas along to my Senator and Congressmen.
