Moral values aside, how about the laws? When it was about lower courts I wondered first why would I need to go to the "Supreme Court" first. However, after reading the related part of the constitution more carefully I realized that it, like congress, seems to also have the power to remove lower federal court judges applying the good Behaviour requirement. That is because that requirement on the judiciary itself is part of the constitution and this court has the jurisdiction over everything "arising under this Constitution". So one could see the economical point in preferring that as an alternative to actions from congress while the later remains exercising direct responsibility in applying that requirement on this court.
But what point there in congress's seeing all this potentially illegal activities and not reacting to that. Even if we assume that there could be some give and take regarding reacting to an issue like that of disrespecting or interfering with the business of federal courts to the level of singling out my brief for delivering to an appellate court at 10:30 in the night, how about all those claims and games coming from the FBI? Does those in congress really have no doubts in all those claims or is it just that they don't care about violating the law by an entity like that? Isn't this supposed to be a nation of laws? When was that replaced with being a nation of jokes?
