SCOTUS partisan judges can be removed

for breaking the law. And, why enabling a convicted felon oversteps the boundaries of jurisprudence.

You aren't clear about who said what when or what you are referring to. You gave no link so I think you are stating some kind of personal opinion with no context or background provided.

OBLITERATING the criminal code by scrambling rulings with nonsense, obfuscation, and DoubleSpeak is the same as breaking the law in a traditional sense, therefore partisan judges should be subject to the same penalties as traditional criminals.

There's a lot there that has never been articulated in concepts in the English Language. Is there a term for judicial rulings that rule the exact opposite of what the law clearly says? No. Never been an issue before.

The boundaries of jurisprudence? Unclear in the concept of looking the other way. Sort of like law enforcement in a one-Sheriff town.

The OP gets high marks for saying a lot while saying little. Could be a future SCOTUS Justice!

1. A member of the House of Representatives introduces a resolution to impeach - very possible - 100%

2. Review and approval by the Judiciary Committee - less likely - 60%

3. Approval of the HoR by majority vote - probable - 80%

4. Conviction by 67% of the Senate - Zero, Zilch - 0.-00%

All in all, a waste of time. Time and resources that can be better spent presenting ideas that will improve the lives of middle-class Americans.

Only slightly more useful than shouting at clouds.

Congress could pass a bill by simple majority vote (assuming no filibuster) to set a term limit for a scotus justice.

The hook would be to not force them to retire, but to simply transition them back to being a federal judge.

This is allowed in the constitution since you are not removing them from the bench entirely.
