- D.C. courts are plagued by lenient sentencing and far-left judges, exemplified by teens who attacked a DOGE staffer receiving only probation.
- The D.C. Commission on Judicial Tenure and Disabilities (CJTD) dominates the judicial reappointment process, often forcing automatic reappointments of leftist judges while limiting presidential oversight.
- The CJTD’s composition is heavily skewed against conservative influence: only one of seven members is appointed by the president, with others chosen by the D.C. Bar, mayor, city council, and chief judge.
- By binding the president’s appointment powers—requiring some nominations and forbidding others—the CJTD unconstitutionally exercises executive authority without accountability to the president.
- President Trump has the constitutional power to fire CJTD members, as they wield significant executive power in federal judicial appointments.
- Firing the panel would disrupt its quorum, halting automatic reappointments and creating multiple judicial vacancies for Trump to fill with constitutionalists.
- This action could transform D.C.’s Court of Appeals, giving Trump appointees a strong majority and helping restore law and order in the nation’s capital.
- Reforming the CJTD is a straightforward, high-impact move to counter the rogue reappointment system and make D.C. courts great again.
