Time will tell.
And That in plain English means " I can't address, or make any further points, so i'll bow out with a meaningless cliche."
you in 100: Federal judges have lifetime appointments.
Your statement dismisses as surplusage the conditions of Article III, hardly a “nit to pick”.
While there are certainly some who will surrender their weapons, and there are certainly those who will inform on other citizens (I know some of these types), let me remind you of the record firearm and ammunition sales that have occurred in this country since the current administration took control. Many of these weapons were purchased by people who did not previously own firearms, and every time the Demander in Chief opens his mouth, the numbers continue to rise.
Further, the real economic situation being what it has been (and not the massaged numbers reported by the administration and spread by the compliant media), I would hazard a guess that there is and was no small percentage of those weapons that were purchased at the sacrifice of a more pressing need because of perceived immediate or future requirement. I submit that these people did NOT purchase these weapons, which in many cases represent a significant financial investment, only to meekly turn them over without resistance.
Thousands of federal judges have served a lifetime tenure. Less than 10 judges have been removed from office for bad behavior over the last 219 years.
There is no term limit on Article III judgeships.
Your post was speculative, one what might possibly happen in the future, was it not. What else needs to be said about a personal speculation?
The operative words in your post were “I predict...”
Time will tell if your prediction is well founded or not. I cannot see into the future.
I predict a massive increase in boating accidents.
“The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior” U.S. Const. art III
Your statements dismiss as surplusage the conditions which qualify tenure.
> Less than 10 judges have been removed
So what? It does not change the rule, the rule which you dismiss.
I have rethought and reviewed American Battle History and through that came to the realization that Americans traditionally do not begin to fight until they have been bloodied. To wit: lost a few battles. After that they fight with a savagery that has no equal. After initially have been bloodied by them, Americans have defeated the greatest professional Armies and Navies, at their time in the World. Americans, as a whole are reluctant to fight. However, once they are shown that they must fight or die, they fight with a savagery that the World, up until that time, has not seen. Whomever, the Black Power bunch, the Commies, or the muslims that force a fight upon us are not going to like how it will end.

Regardless of the disparaging, slanderous things that "progressives" say about us, we tend do be a very law-abiding group, almost to our own peril. I've often stated that the very fact that so many vile knuckleheads are still free to stand up and call us every name in the book, and even suggest out extermination, is due to the demonstrable fact that we are not the people they claim we are. If their claims were true, many of them would no longer be able to make any further claims. Thus, we'll wait until we have unquestionable reason to defend ourselves, which means that the other side will indeed have a few early victories should they press the issue.
After that they fight with a savagery that has no equal.
The opposition apparently believes that they can control the results of their efforts to stir up this particular hornet's nest, and that there will be no significant response, and that they will be largely immune at the upper echelons from any response that does occur. I believe that they are delusional.
Whomever, the Black Power bunch, the Commies, or the muslims that force a fight upon us are not going to like how it will end.
I agree with you. I further submit that the press and other enablers have not paid attention to the tenants of 4th generation warfare. They are going to act OH so surprised when they are held personally accountable, should events turn the way they appear to be championing. There will be much rending of garments and gnashing of teeth.
Where did I dismiss the “rule?” The fact that any federal official can be removed from office by impeachment is understood.
But if it makes you happy, I’ll reiterate: Article III federal judges have lifetime tenure as long as they exhibit good behavior. Federal judges can also resign or retire.
For example, Joseph William Woodrow was appointed a federal judge of the Nebraska District Court by Woodrow Wilson and served from 1916 to 1933. He was then appointed to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals by Franklin Roosevelt and served from 1933 to 1961. He then became a Senior Judge and finally retired in 1977. That’s a total of 61.5 years as a federal judge. Seems like a lifetime.
Which is precisely why we need a devout and learned constitutional conservative as our next president, one who is willing to push for the impeachment of federal judges who fail to uphold their oath “...to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic” and apply that standard to all “interpretations” of the law, whether that law applies to the First, Second or any other amendment to the Constitution. That president must have a demonstrated record of opposing judicial activism and routine surrender to the will of the left, whether by Democrats or Republicans. Most importantly, that president must understand, acknowledge and convey to the American people that there are three co-equal branches of government and that the Supreme Court isn’t the final word on ANYTHING.
Senator Cruz, are you listening? I’m thinking Mike Lee would make a wonderful attorney general and/or Supreme Court justice...
I agree 100 percent.

This law would be enforced much the way prohibition was, and would meet the same end result.
