Your entire argument falls under when you take into consideration that the very judicial power that's "vested" to the Supreme Court in its jurisdiction is solely delegated to Judges that Congress appoints.

Congress should not get to seat its own checks and balances, and it doesn't particularly matter if Congress is only allowed to establish and ordain inferior courts to that of the Supreme Court, if they already effectively establish and ordain the Supreme Court's delegations - and thereby its power.

Can't believe I really have to say this shit.

Supreme Court Justices are, "nominated by the President and confirmed by the United States Senate". The President is appointed by Congress through the Electoral College. Congress seats its own checks and balances by direct and proxy.

You should allow people to think of you as an idiot, rather than vomit on your keyboard and remove all doubt.

Posting like this will get you banned here, regardless of how wrong someone else is or you feel they are.

I'm not going to ban you right now because (unlike with the other account) I didn't see a lot of this in your history—but please don't do it again.

Congress does not appoint judges. And even if it did, life tenure and salary protection — while Congress changes literally every other year — would still give them independence. Cf. dollar-cost averaging.
