a National Court of Appeals. Congress would strip SCOTUS of all of its appellate jurisdiction, leaving it with its constitutional original jurisdiction. (see Article III). They would establish a National Court of Appeals to hear all appeals from the circuit courts and state high courts. Hopefully it would be packed with about 25 young progressive judges. Uncle Clarence could then get all his naps, and ride around in his luxury RV with almost nothing to do, and Sammy Scum could twiddle his thumbs and write nasty screeds that everyone could ignore. I rather like the idea.
