I think the idea is that if The Supreme Court and an overwhelming majority is okay with it, the Constitution is irrelevant.

As it has been since FDR threw the Constitution to the curb.

Yup. Example: our immigration laws... mean nothing. Majority, not so much, but people willing to look the other way is significant and they have a lot of political clout. Especially when they start tossing around the “racist” accusation.

Too bad we can't treat other laws the same way — I'd start with Obamacare. I don't believe in it and so why should I comply with it? I suspect that you'd find a lot of like-minded people.

The process starts in Congress, not the Court and the man hasn’t done anything impeachable!

I’m not sure that it is even necessary for the Supreme Court to be OK with it? Hover it does have to be a High Crime or misdemeanor and firing an appointee of the executive is a stretch and any such overreach by Congress would most probably be appealed directly further weakening our constitution. The Democrats & Republicans should be very careful in going down that road.

It only takes the SCOTUS. They have made the Constitution irrelevant for the last 50 years.
