Someone here ridiculed me for suggesting this... just yesterday, in fact. NurseJackie Oct 2020 #1

Well, it's mathematically impossible to take 2/3 of the Senate this time. lagomorph777 Oct 2020 #3

Yes, at this time. Stand by. NurseJackie Oct 2020 #8

Maybe we start impeachments in 2023, but by then we'll expand the Courts, including SCROTUS. lagomorph777 Oct 2020 #10

Why bother? It will never get 2/3 vote. It's MUCH easier to add 2+ more justices. kysrsoze Oct 2020 #14

Start with a proposal to add 6 or 8 justices NewJeffCT Oct 2020 #18

the sweet spot is to add 6, to get to 15, and here is why: Celerity Oct 2020 #33

Only 1 SCOTUS justice has been impeached NewJeffCT Oct 2020 #15

I don't see it happening even if she IS guilty of gross misconduct. Statistical Oct 2020 #19

Nope. None of this is illegal, and only one Supreme has been indicted in our history... TreasonousBastard Oct 2020 #16
