@GottaLaff Just don’t say he’s in the Rich White Man’s pocket. That would be insulting…🤔 The sad thing is I am unaware of a process to remove Justices who have compromised themselves in inappropriate relationships with people with $$$$$$$$. If that process is supposed to be impeachment from the other justices, please don’t hold your breath. An example of the failed idea that we can rely on political bodies to self regulate. 😳

@Huntn00 @GottaLaff

Pursuant to Article III of the US Constitution, removal of SCOTUS Justices is by Impeachment in the House of Representatives, followed by a trial in the Senate - should 2/3 of the Senate then vote to remove the justice, that would be the end.

Considering how partisans in both congressional houses are unwilling to convict "their own" even in the face of overwhelming evidence of misconduct (witness the two DJT impeachments with no convictions), I am *not* holding my breath.
