According to a bombshell report from the Washington Post, the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi is considering a plan that would let federal prosecutors investigate and indict members of Congress unfettered by traditional oversight designed to stop political persecution.
Traditionally, before such an investigation could proceed, a prosecutor would have their case reviewed by the lawyers in the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section. But that would go away under the new proposal.
The report notes that, should the proposal go into effect, “a long-standing provision in the Justice Department’s manual that outlines how investigations of elected officials should be conducted” would be shunted aside and allow possible prosecutions based purely on politics.
There are less than 2000 federal judges, the Federalist Society has over 70,000 members. They have the man power and motivation to replace them over night. At which point the law says what the fuck they want it to.
What’s stopping them isn’t that they lack the resources to seize total control. It’s that they lack the resources to maintain control. And they’re never going to have them.
And how do you imagine Federal Judges who are appointed for life will be removed from their benches exactly?
By federal marshals who don’t give a fuck. Because they already did it to a state judge, they’ll go after federal next.

What is, de facto, stopping them, if they decide the Constitution and the law are toilet paper to wipe their asses with?
They will attempt to downsize and remove seats / eliminate circuits and jurisdictions, then create new ones. Yes that too will be litigated, who knows where it ends, but they will try
