""Marching on the SCOTUS won't accomplish anything. They have lifetime tenure and couldn't care less what the people think of them."




In the MA state constitution, Judges can easily be removed for bad behavior, (not that we are having much progress getting it done but we are trying. Also the Governor and his council here, has the authority over the courts in some matters, like marriage, but hasn't used it) I am wondering if the same holds true for the US Constitution? Does anyone know? There is a system of checks and balances, but I don't know how much.

The US Constitution says: "Shall hold their office during good Behaviour" Their behaviour is not good when they flapp at the Constitution.
