"I suppose so, but don't really know the procedure for removing a sitting federal judge."

===============================

In this case it is the majority of the United States Supreme Court - the oligarchy - we are concerned with.

Impeaching the majority of the U.S.S.C. would cause the legal branch of our government to come to a screeching halt.

This crisis does however prove one thing though - the oligarchy is in definite and unquestionable control of both of the other bodies of United States government.

(Do we detect an imbalance here somewhere?)

"I suppose so, but don't really know the procedure for removing a sitting federal judge."

Complaints against federal judges filed under the Judicial Improvements Act of 2002, Title 28 U.S.C. §§ 351-364, which replaced the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act of 1980, 28 U.S.C § 372(c) effective November 2, 2002.

Pitifully, they judge each each other. The fox is guarding the hen house...they know it, and flip you off. It's up to our ball-less congress to reel the courts in.

Some of the Founding Fathers in 1787 thought it likely an oligarcy would arise, and there is no reason to believe we are not well on the way.

Awesome post!

Something that is now necessary. The pause should be filled with debate in the Congress as to how to bring the Judiciary back into control - By amendments, or an entire re-write of the section of the Constitution dealing with the powers of the Judiciary.

The un-Constitutional nullification of legitimate laws stemming from Marbury and the conjuring of new "rights" out of whole cloth needs to be stopped, and a check mechanism put in place which would give either the States or the Congress the power to reverse such rulings should they be made.
