The founding fathers engaged in a vigorous debate over whether there should be a federal court system separate from the state systems. Those who supported a strong federal judiciary ultimately prevailed. Subsequent expansion of the federal courts has created a contemporary controversy over how to alleviate the problem of rising caseloads within the federal court system.
-Which of the following statements regarding proposals to reduce federal caseloads is true?
A) Reducing the jurisdiction of federal courts would nearly double the caseload of state courts and states would certainly oppose such an action.
B) Creating additional courts and judgeships would require additional funding of the federal judiciary, which already comprises a sizeable portion of the federal budget.
C) It is unlikely that Congress will ever have the filibuster-proof majority needed to authorize additional federal judgeships.
D) The antagonistic relationship between Congress and the federal judiciary is unlikely to result in any significant reforms.
