As I have often said: “If it wasn’t for ‘political incest’ these leftist activists politicians, bureaucrats, media, judges and lawyers would never get laid.”.... They are nearly all related, by blood or marriage.
That why Congress holds the power of Impeachment. But they never do it, because they’re captured, too.

I wonder when SCOTUS aka Supreme Clowns of the US will rule on whether lower level judges can effectively control the Executive Branch?
It’s like the Michael Crichton novel ‘Disclosure’, just as the protagonist puts the pieces together.
They’re literally in bed together.
Alcee Hastings is the only federal judge I can remember who was impeached.
Yes. impeached for bribery but also and this is the part everyone lefts off when they throw around the word “impeach” - trial & conviction in the Senate. He was tried and convicted in the Senate with the necessary 2/3’rds majority.
Unfortunately, even though he was impeached and convicted in the Senate. His federal trial for bribery ended up “not guilty”. He was later elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1992, serving until his death in 2021.
Yes as you can imagine it was all about racism!
Jeffress is a partner at Arnold & Porter, formerly Arnold & Fortas and Arnold, Fortas & Porter after partner Abe Fortas was appointed to the Supreme Court. The firm was originally staffed by New Dealers and as such was close to the intelligence community and to Soviet cells that had penetrated the New Deal. Founder Thurman Arnold’s chief deputy Hugh Cox was the attorney for Donald Hiss, brother of Alger Hiss and partner at Covington & Burling, another firm recently involved in lawfare.
Nothing to see here that’s not expected.

Nepotism? Check out on Facebook Michael Franzese Mafia Democracy. Shocking.
"The judiciary is incapable of policing itself."
These people are essentially starting from scratch. So you think they can go and arrest these corrupt individuals without gathering evidence, building a case and then make the arrest and prosecuted. Fits this happen in less than 2 months in your world?
If they did it quickly and were not prepared, then lost their prosecution, you’d be complaining they did it too quickly, what amateurs! Relax.
Washington, DC needs to be cleaned out with a hurricane, flood, tornado, forest fire and earthquake.
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once!................
Exactly.
That makes a grand total of one in our lifetimes, and before that...?
The abject failure of The Legislative Branch to exercise it’s oversight of the Judiciary is the single most glaring abdication of power in all of US government.
And it’s killing us. Slowly.
Federal Judges don’t have to be attorneys. No requirement to be a lawyer before appointment as a U.S. Court Judge.
Don’t have to be an admitted lawyer to serve on the Supreme Court, either. Chief Justice Rhenquist made that statement during an interview about one of his books. He followed up with a statement, “The only position mentioned in the Constitution requiring the appointee to be ‘knowledgeable in the law whatever that means’ is the Solicitor General.”
