The U.S. Constitution states that all justices of the court “shall hold their offices during good behavior,” meaning that the appointments end only when a justice dies in office, resigns, or is impeached by the United States House of Representatives and convicted at trial by the Senate.

Demoting Roberts would not end his tenure on the bench . . . just his place on that bench.

Considering D.C., let alone the Courts, can’t/don’t seem to read it, understand nor follow the same...what’s it matter?

Oh, they LOVE to spout off chapter and verse, unless it’s A1S8, 9th, 10th...

Let’s not even begin with the precedent vs. source, penumbras, standing and ‘compelling govt interest’
