It's not like they're going to resign and there's no mechanism to remove them so, uh, unless you're advocating violence I don't see how that's going to work. I think we need to pack the court up to around 17 justices and get back to the business of government instead of playing activist on guns, civil rights, corporate power and abortion.
They can actually be impeached and removed from office.
Right, but that mechanism presupposes functional government and about half of the government doesn't give a shit about governing, or anything other than seizing power at the moment, so that's not going to happen.
I'm unsure what the standard is for removing Supreme Court Justices, but failing to recuse yourself from cases where you have a considerable appearance of conflict of interests should be one of them. For example, say, you took a large gift from somebody who would later be affected by one of your decisions, Clarence.
Also, there should be some automatic impeachment and removal for justices who lied under oath during their confirmation hearings. I think there is video evidence of most of the conservative justices saying that they considered Roe to be precedent, which means that they wouldn't overturn it. That was clearly a lie.
If I lied during my job interview about something important, I would expect to be fired. And they should, too.
I'm disabled, so not me personally, but frankly when it comes to conservatives that have devoted their lives to causing as many other people to suffer as possible, yeah, I'm advocating violence.
