Well we all should walk the straight/narrow line but we don’t
at times. All I’m saying is they are nominated for the position
and then voted on by the on by the Senate in case of the SCOTUS.
The Constitution states that Justices “shall hold their Offices
during good Behaviour.” This means that the Justices hold office
as long as they choose and can only be removed from office by impeachment. The only Justice to be impeached was Associate
Justice Samuel Chase in 1805.
So basically you’ve got what is appointed/approved.
Only Alito and Thomas are good on the Supreme Court. I still think those members of the state legislatures need to be primaried out of office, because they allowed others to change the Election law. Especially Pennsylvania.
It seems to me that at come point the U. S. Constitution
becomes meaningless.
If we let that thing become meaningless, we have nothing
between us and Leftist rage.
We have very little as it is.
I realize the process, and I agree with you in many ways,
but I do think these people have an obligation to uphold
their oath of office.
They didn’t here. It reads:
“I, ________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will
support and defend the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear
true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this
obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose
of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge
the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So
help me God.”

By allowing this case to slip through, the SCOTUS allowed
a tenet of the Constitution to be ignored, or cast aside.
In other words, they did not defend or protect the
Constitution.
If they allow parts of the Constitution to be chipped away
as they see fit, we will have a Swiss Cheese Constitution,
and I would argue one that could easily nullify Amendments.
