I'm not a lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last week and I think this Act might be the basis for President Trump cleaning up the radical District Courts.
Unless the Senate passes such a bill after passage of cloture, thus cutting off filibuster, no curative legislation similar to the Judiciary Act of 1802 will ever go into effect/law.
A great historical parallel. 173dVietVet is right. As long as filibuster applies, legislative changes won’t get done (although the outlook for the composition of the Senate in 2026 is surprisingly encouraging). I’m wondering if the Supreme Court has some oversight powers it could use with overreaching district judges.

Can you visualize Elena Kagen on horseback ?
Michael, thank you for this clear and succinct American history lesson. Thank God for Thomas Jefferson, again!!
