    We don’t have a mechanism to say “wait wait hey who the fuck do you think you are?” To supreme court justices.

    Congress can impeach Justices just like the President. Samuel Chase was impeached in 1804. The only SC Justice to ever be impeached.

      How many congressmen need to agree to impeach a justice? Is congress less corrupt than the supreme court? Trump is more corrupt than the supreme court and they can’t impeach him. Aren’t the traitors who refused to do their job and let Obama appoint judges because Trump had been elected but then had no problem letting Trump appoint judges after Biden had been elected still in office? The people who said Trump had learned his lesson and didn’t need to be removed from office? How many people from the current congress attend those cringe Trump grovelling sessions?

        Whether it is likely or not wasn’t the discussion. I was refuting the statement “We don’t have a mechanism”… We very much do. And it has been used before, it’s not just theoretical.
