What does “exiting” mean in this context?

With respect to the lower federal courts, the constitutional authorization for Congress to from time to time ordain and establish inferior courts may imply that Congress can alter the system it establishes, including by eliminating exiting federal courts.3

Abolishing federal courts was perfectly legal when Lincoln was doing it. And precedent is holy and sacrosanct. Stare Decisis, yo!

We elected Trump to have his policies be put in place. If the federal courts are preventing that, we must abolish them.

The Supreme Court is the only Constitutionally-mandated court. All others are legislatively created and can be abolished by legislation.

So a politically biased Judiciary trumps all other Branches with their subjective ‘Rulings’? Ha. Half or much more of the population will dump them and their supposed authority when push comes to shove. Minus respect they are just people dressed in a black robe if they lose the respect of the populace. Which they are fast doing. Their days are numbered any way it goes lest they get back to the Constitutional Principles which empowers them and “blind justice “.
