It's a Pip!: Unfortunately, some of what let the former President do that was the fact that the rest of the Republicans can jam the gears. We saw that with the impeachment hearings: they ground on but ultimately it was mostly a party-line vote.

Love the Democrats ruling out ever doing anything about it. Heck of an opposition party

Honestly asking: what are their options? They can impeach justices, right?

Impeachment requires the house bud.

Also a 2/3ds majority in the senate which we don't have unless you honestly believe republicans are going to sign onto it.

Ah so the same process as for a president :(

Basically. The Constitution was written to make sure the three branches could check each other but not run roughshod over each other. They somehow didn't anticipate a system where an entire faction has enough power to just jam all the wheels and proceed to laugh about it.

It can be rough to hear this when we saw someone in that very office recently flagrantly disregard the Constitution for any reason or whim he had, so I get where a lot of the people saying this come from. "We go high, they go low" works when you have opponents with a conscience (not Republicans)
