    So your plan is ignore all of the corrupt appointments?

    Until when exactly? Just let them die on the bench in a couple decades?

    That’s not fixing anything, it’s ignoring the problem.

    Exactly what I’m complaining about. I’m just not sure why I had to say the same thing twice. Is it still not making sense to you that fixing a problem works better than ignoring it?

      Federal judges can only be removed by impeachment by the House of Representatives

      You have no plan and no idea what you are even complaining about.

        You obviously have no problem insisting you know more than me, but are you going to say you know more about it than Yale?

        Well, . . . no. Contrary to the orthodoxy, nothing in the Constitution mandates that impeachment be the exclusive method for removing misbehaving judges.

        Just because you don’t know something, doesn’t mean no one else does.

          To my knowledge there has never been a federal judge removed in anyway other than impeachment. You would have to take an untested claim to court, prove it, then still to apply that process to remove judges case by case after. Unfortunately, it’s not us that gets to decide whether or not something is legal, it’s up to the “supreme” Court. I just can’t see us convincing 6 of those justices to accept consequences for their and their party’s actions. This would be a hell of a legal long shot.
