@GottaLaff

How have we gotten to the point where this is an "extraordinary statement". Should it not be the norm that the Executive Branch or Legislative Branch cannot call for a removal of the Judicial Branch just because they disagree with them?

@NJWookie @GottaLaff The Constitution grants defendants the right of appeal. And it grants Congress the right of impeachment / conviction. "Norms" aren't something Trump has ever honored, and now he seems Hell-bent on dishonoring the Constitution.
