The problem is that the leftists would win, and the four who have generally defended the Constitution (well, the three, since Roberts is completely a flake) would already have been out of a job.

So many times I see folks urge a change in the retention for SCOTUS justices, for some reason never quite grasping that it could work against us too.

In the case of Roberts, I do think his actions merit an impeachment. As the Chief Justice it is up to him to ensure legislation from the bench doesn’t occur. If he can’t grasp that point, I do think he should be removed.

And in this instance, he instigated it, twice.

The man isn’t just a closet Leftist, he’s ignorant of the law and simply unqualified to continue in his position.

Further, review of what has taken place should be instituted, and several decisions by the court nullified, for lack of legal basis.

Maybe, they would. Which is why I think if any election or retention is to take place it should be accountable to a party with a consistent interest toward decentralization.

The only parties I know of in the US with such a vested interest would be our State legislators.

We may not be able to keep the whole system honest, but if we can keep it local we will still have our feet to keep ourselves free.
