"What's going to force the Supreme Court to do something is fundamentally political pressure. It's going to be when Congress starts impeaching judges and saying ... 'You are now encroaching into our territory,'" Mizelle said during a panel discussion at the Federalist Society's annual lawyers' meeting in Washington."
""What do I think DJT should do? He should stand up, and he's already done this, and say, 'Judges, I know how to deal with stray cats,'" said Mizelle, who served as acting associate AG and chief of staff to AG Pam Bondi before stepping down last month."
"Of course, there are problems with this strategy. Put aside the massive hit this would cause to the rule of law, but as a matter of logistics, this is nothing more than an empty threat. Remember, it's not that easy to kick someone out of their lifetime appointmen"
Chad Mizelle criticized district courts that place constitutional obstacles on the Trump agenda and labeled those judges as acting in bad faith. He argued that political pressure through congressional impeachments would force the Supreme Court to act against lower-court injunctions. Mizelle recounted a cryptic anecdote about a stray cat and suggested President Trump should publicly confront judges. He connected impeachment threats to a strategy for curbing judicial interference. Observers note that such a strategy would damage the rule of law and face significant logistical barriers to removing lifetime-appointed judges.
