“House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who plans to hold a hearing focused on Boasberg and district judges next week, said he’s speaking with GOP appropriators about what he called ‘legislative remedies.’

‘We got money, spending, the appropriations process to help try to address some of this,’ Jordan said, without adding further details.”

“Congress has eliminated courts in the past. In 1913, for example, Congress abolished the Commerce Court and its judges were redistributed to the federal appeals court, according to Congress.gov. And in 1982, Congress passed legislation abolishing the Article III Court of Claims and U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, and established the Article I Court of Federal Claims and the Article III U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.”

“…Speaker (of the House) Mike Johnson, R-La… floated the possibility of Congress eliminating some federal courts.

‘We do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power of funding over the courts and all these other things,’ Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. ‘But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.’”
