    Unfortunately, there’s no process for that. Single judges can be removed via impeachment, but being a partisan hack is not a high crime.

    Similarly, nothing can happen with Conservatives controlling the House and Senate.

      A core problem is that impeachment votes have become a team popularity contest, with the details of charges, innocence, guilt, etc. being irrelevant except for theatrics.

      Oh, they know…

      https://fedsoc.org/bio/ryan-doerfler

      They want to trick people into dissolving the SC before the left gains control and can replace the problematic ones while taking steps to prevent this from happening again.

      It’s like a kid that walks up and slaps a peer, then immediately says “no tag backs” and says the game is over…

      The federalist society got what it wants out of the SC, and now they want people to stop abusing it before we can undo what they just did.

      I don’t know why googling authors isn’t the norm when billionaires own all the media companies. If you don’t you’ll never notice clear hypocrites like Ryan Doerfler.

      Alas, the Constitution does little to protect against incompetent voters who refuse to act to protect their democracy.
