Articles of Impeachment Nullification of all court decisions under Roberts Force it all to be relitigated Roberts court will be just behind the Taney court as most loathsome in history.

I'm being dead serious here, the decision to say that the President can just kill anyone and do a coup and become a dictator with unlimited power is probably worse than the Dred Scott decision. It genuinely changes the entire governmental system from a democracy to a dictatorship.

If Johnson doesn’t put it on the floor, @aoc.bsky.social should file a motion to vacate the chair. Take the damn gloves OFF

Please do it! It's not normal what is happening, corruption in the highest court.

I think it's time to start seeking constitutional amendments too. I know it's a heavy lift, but why not start? There should be an amendment process underway right now to overturn citizens united. Just to start with.

The avenues to amend the constitution (2/3 of both houses of Congress or 2/3 of all state legislatures) would require unrealistically massive Democrat landslides in multiple consecutive election cycles to avoid the possibility of Republican obstruction.

Did you see how I said it's a heavy lift?
Avatar
Yes and I think that’s being extremely generous without some seismic political shake up where the Republican party basically implodes and can’t meaningfully oppose Democrats anymore. The amendments amount to little more than a way to metaphorically “seal the coffin”.

I mean good for her but let’s be honest, Congress won’t do shit.

I like AOC... She's fiery and smart. I expect great things from her in the future.

In 2008, the establishment Rep's and Dem's had screwed up the country so hard, that "out of nowhere" the USA shocked the world by electing a President with the middle name "Hussein" - only 7 years after 9/11. We may be coming to that level of dissatisfaction again.

AOC is a once-in-a generation natural politician, like Obama was. She is undeniable.

already called my own rep urging her to co-sponsor AOC's bill

Yeah, but they won't get 20 or so Republican senators to convict. Expand the court. Much lower bar for success. But that requires a landslide Democratic election result.

As much as I don't want to impeach Sotomayor and Kagan, I honestly think you just need to file articles of impeachment against the entire court. Remove all of them, start from scratch. The entire bench is tainted by this court. They all need to go.

Can you even impeach a Supreme Court justice?
Avatar
Thanks all. I honestly thought they were untouchable.
Avatar
Yes. The house has the authority. Sure wish dems had majority in the house rn… Only the senate has the power to remove them after impeachment.
Avatar
this has the same two thirds requirement as any other removal. Which is suboptimal

No idea but I assure you it is preferable to option 2

Yes. The House impeaches, the Senate convicts, just as with a President.
Avatar
YES! Abe Fortas resigned because he was about to be impeached back in the 60s.
Avatar
that is the only way to remove them from their position

So I guess if Biden orders up death squads now to kill his political opponents, that is now totally legal, since he can't be prosecuted for official acts. Something to think about.
Avatar
He doesn't need the death squads. Rendition them to Gitmo.
Avatar
You'd have to totally disappear them, so they didn't win election from prison.😜
Avatar
No, because the Supreme Court have made themselves the arbiter of what is and is not an official act, so they could rule against a democratic president’s actions, and in favor of a Republican president’s actions.

Kill the conservative SCOTUS justices first.

I hate that man worse than Trump. I think he may be even more dangerous. Trump is an idiot who does what his billionaire donors & think-tank strategists want. He's never even read the constitution (or the bible)
