Couldn’t they FOIA the judges’ financial records, and if money came from Trumps mafia, associate it to the conflict of interest around the ruling?

Then the ruling could be argued invalid because of alleged bribery.

This is a good move. Thrg just need to be careful to preclude somehow giving an opening for the court to hear it via original jurisdiction. Congress can only limit the court’s appellate jurisdiction under the Constitution.

The Constitutional Amendment is more bulletproof, but a much heavier lift.

This one will end up at SCOTUS, with an expected outcome. Slow moving trains and all.

The Court wouldn’t have jurisdiction. They could overstep their authority anyway but it’d probably become a constitutional crisis.

As opposed to the other times in recent memory that they overstepped their authority, lied about the facts, and rewrote laws and the constitution?

Lying about the facts and rewriting laws isn’t legally prohibited. This is different because it would be the Supreme Court breaking the law if it viewed a case outside its jurisdiction… or, well, it could be different. It depends on whether the other two branches of government just roll over and let them do it. If Schumer is willing to use jurisdictional stripping the Democrats might be willing to go even farther if the Court decided to ignore the law. Hence, constitutional crisis.

So now introducing bills and doing their fucking jobs is “ambitious?” These sucker’s make like $200k just in base salary and are the most unproductive decade of Congress I think ever.
