I would not have a problem with a properly done EO. Does the President have the emotional maturity to go back and draft a new one that passes legal muster instead of digging in his heels to try to prove there are no limits to his might and power? I doubt it.

That is kind of what FDR tried to do. He proposed to retire all judges over 70 years old, thus giving him a chance to stack the court. He also proposed increasing the number of judges, up to as many as 40!Originally posted by jay santos View PostCan't he just take out all the judges and replace them with who he wants?

Serious? Federal judges have to be impeached by the house and convicted by the Senate, just like the President. It is a very small number this has happened to in our 200+ year history.Originally posted by jay santos View PostCan't he just take out all the judges and replace them with who he wants?Last edited by BlueK; 02-10-2017, 09:49 AM.

I believe Hugo Chavez in Venezuela did what Jay suggested. Thankfully it doesn't work that way here.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostThat is kind of what FDR tried to do.

Lest anyone think otherwise, I do not put FDR and Trump in the same universe as far as POTUS goes. FDR had plenty of faults and crazy ideas, but he was a great leader and a great president."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

Yes, but his SCOTUS-stacking stunt was a major blemish on his record. http://www.smithsonianmag.com/histor...lost-78497994/Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostLest anyone think otherwise, I do not put FDR and Trump in the same universe as far as POTUS goes.
