A bold legislative proposal, the “Restoring Constitutional Mandate for Congress to Set Rules for the Federal Courts Act,” seeks to rein in what its author warns is an existential crisis – a “judicial coup” targeting President Donald Trump and the American people.
Drafted by Jonathon Moseley, a 24-year legal veteran and founder of the Patriot Legal Defense Fund, the bill aims to rescind the Rules Enabling Act. The Constitution empowers Congress to set the rules for the Federal courts.
But Congress generously trusted the U.S. Supreme Court with this honor and prestige. The bill includes a rebuke of U.S. Supreme Court Justices who have abused their constitutional role.
On May 12, Chief Justice John Roberts – who never criticizes misconduct by judges, politicized lawfare, or abuses against conservatives – issued his third attack on President Trump.
Roberts has not seemed to grasp that respect is earned, not demanded. But when judges like Roberts criticize only one side of the political world, they lose all credibility.
Roberts made similar veiled threats against the Trump Administration in Buffalo on May 7, the week before.
The previous week Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson added to a seemingly-coordinated drum beat.
On May 8, Justice Sonia Sotomayor basically rallied the nation’s lawyers to fight an insurrection against Republican officials, speaking at the American Bar Association.
Moseley argues that judges should never be speaking outside the courthouse to maintain the public trust.
“The ABA has sued Trump over federal grant terminations,” yet Sotomayor was speaking to a litigant in an active lawsuit.
Active members of the ABA are already the most left-wing and activist lawyers compared to most attorneys just working for clients.
