    But what can be done? She’s in a safe state for her kind, isn’t she? It’s not like they would suddenly realize what kind of person she is - they already know.

        Although with a lifetime appointment and a high threshold for removal, accountability is hard to come by

            But seriously, I do think that there might be some vigilante justice against the justice if she is gonna be that blatant, and then, for instance, gets appointed to the Supreme Court.

            I bet this is her Supreme Court tryout. I would bet my salary on it, in fact.

      In a sane world, one of two things would happen, ideally both:

      Immediate Impeachment and motion for a mistrial be granted

      Arrest for Obstruction of Justice

      The remedy is impeachment, so I’m pretty sure that means 60 senators need to vote to remove her, which isn’t happening anytime soon.

        And you need the house to kick things off. And the house is controlled by the GOP.

      State has nothing to do with it. She is an appointed federal judge. If she’s going to be removed, she has to be removed federally.

      More specifically, impeachment proceeding for her removal would start in the House of Representatives… which is currently controlled by the GOP.

        for now. GOP hemorrhaging support faster than the dems let’s see how this election goes

        my guess as to why shit sucks so bad is because last few election cycles have really gone in better directions. I think once that scale tips we’ll see some great and long overdue shit
