If dissent is made illegal, why not?
Unfortunately there are many scurrilous ways that the democRATs could alter the SCOTUS. DOJ-ordered SWAT raids by on conservative justices for “conspiring against our democracy” or some other charges and imprisoning them without bail for years and years awaiting a trial date that will never come.....Just one possibility.
The fool has NO jurisdiction over the court. It is a separate, co-equal branch of government.
And if Congress tries to mess with their budget, Courts have inherent power to Order them to advance sufficient resources to run the courts to whatever tune the court says and wants.
The legislative and executive branches cannot impose term limits on the judicial branch. Only a Constitutional amendment can do such a thing.
Good Lord, why are we even discussing this?
This will have to be decided by the Supreme Court.
The November 2024 Election is Republicans vs. The Chinese Communist Party.
The US Democrat Party is a proxy for the Chinese Communist Party.
Because the democRATs are discussing this. There is plenty that can happen without a Constitutional Amendment.
Who the hell is Biden and where the hell does he get the authority to “reform” the US Supreme Court?
Like what?
The Biden DOJ has SWAT teams. He has already used them against President Trump. You think some conservative Supreme Court justices are going to win if it comes to this. This is about power and power comes from the barrel of a gun from the side of the aisle that hates the US Constitution. Republicans will be too frightened of the SWAT teams to squeek out even a little peep of protest.
Like Merrick Garland ordering SWAT raids to arrest the conservative Supreme Court justices and place them in the J6 prison awaiting trial for insurrection. Before you say this is preposterous, just remember it already happened to President Trump. If they are awaiting trial for 8 years then they cannot vote on cases. Or maybe they just get "Epsteined" in prison and there is not even the need for a show trial.
It is just the sound of the Swirl that is made as the tub makes as freedom is drained. Do Democrats even support the Bill of Rights? Maybe someone should do a poll on that.
When does the USSC get to impose a “code of conduct” on politicians?
They could just issue an opinion in an ethics/corruption/bribery case, declare a set of standards that if violated disqualifies the perp from office. Such as “failure to tell the truth during a campaign” as a basis for a finding of a “fraud on the public”. And some random judge gets to decide what constitutes “the truth”, just like the dems want. No danger of politization there, right? And judges are always impartial and cannot make mistakes - at least when the MSM agrees with the decision.
See how easy the reverse of the fascist dems’ ideas exposes their idiocy?
I would think that changing the terms for the USSC would be a STATE BY STATE VOTE change to the Constitution.
NOT JUST UP TO CONGRESS.
THE ‘HIGH COURT” is NOT ACCOUNTABLE TO ELECTED OFFICIALS.
NEVER HAS BEEN.
WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE.
3 SEPARATE BRANCHES===SEPARATE.
HOW ABOUT THE SUPREMES ELIMINATE THE PRESIDENT???
Going to fixed terms for the federal judiciary would require a constitutional amendment. Two thirds of both Houses of Congress would send the amendment proposal to the states for ratification, and three fourths of the states would ratify to get it into the Constitution.
THAT is an excellent idea. The President is not a king. He does not control all three branches of the government no matter what the boy Kenyan says.
“Like Merrick Garland ordering SWAT raids to arrest the conservative Supreme Court justices and place them in the J6 prison awaiting trial for insurrection.”
How about the 2nd Marine Division heading up I-95 and arresting the FBI and Justice Department for treason.
Writing fiction is fun.
