On day 23,772 in office, dithering 91-year-old waterboy Chuck Grassley introduces legislation to slap handcuffs on judges

 
Headline:  The Hill, 3/31/2025

Rebecca Beitsch reports on why it's time for Trump sycophant Chuck to resign.
Any such move would bring a sledgehammer to a number of different lawsuits currently challenging Trump administration policies. 
Grassley’s bill comes as the White House has feuded with a judge who temporarily barred the Trump administration from carrying out deportation flights under the Alien Enemies Act as it has pushed to expel Venezuelan migrants under the law. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg was nominated to his current role by former President Obama. President George W. Bush previously appointed him to serve as a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. 
“For a number of years, but particularly in the last few months, we’ve increasingly seen sweeping orders from individual district judges that dictate national policy [slow the spread of authoritarianism]. Our Founders saw an important role for the judiciary, but the Constitution limits judges to exercising power over ‘cases’ or ‘controversies.’ Judges are not policymakers, and allowing them to assume this role is very dangerous,” Grassley said in a statement.
