5. There is a work-around if Congress has the cojones.

Establish a National Court of Appeals. (Pack it with 25 good young progressive judges.) ALL appeals from lower courts go here.

Strip the Supreme Court of all appellate jurisdiction. (Yes, Congress can do this.) Leave it with only its constitutional original jurisdiction. All appeals go to the National Court of Appeals.

Clarence PubicHair can take all the naps he wants and play with his "long-dong silver" to his little heart's content, and BeerBoy Kavanaughty can spend the rest of his career hung over. And the rest of the country gets justice. Problem solved.

Good suggestions! Too much power given to donny and moscow mitch to influence the lives of SWBTATTReg Oct 2020 #6

Or make all federal judges Justices and any SCOTUS case is heard by a random selection of them. NYC Liberal Oct 2020 #8

Nope, not quickly anyway. They are appointed for life. lagomorph777 Oct 2020 #7
