The Supreme Court of the United States Thread

[Vol423]

But having the bar disbar the judge in particular does nothing to the appointment. There is already process for that though... there simply isn't a problem to fix.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around what he is even proposing which wouldn't require a Constitutional Convention.

He’ll just waive his magic wand as usual, and say it is so. Then the Supreme Court will strike it down as unconstitutional. That would be great. I think it’s hilarious that he thinks he can institute ethics rules on a separate, equal branch of government while both the administrative and legislative branches (where he spent his last 50 years) are rotten to their core.

Yeah. I am unsure as to what he thinks they would do with it, probably just ignore it. I mean, there is already a legal process for this.

I'm confused.

I dont mind the term limit ban.

The code of ethics is a slippery slope. Thats very subjective.

 

[volinbham]

some rulings go against you and you seek to change the rules?

the party fighting to preserve democracy™ sure likes to advantage itself so it can "save us"

If they are going to get a Constitutional Convention going, you get term limit bans on the Congress and a ton of problems probably disappear first.

I think a lot of problems in general disappear with more restrictive term limits in government.

Age limits and term limits

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Its either false, maybe more correctly - a strawman.

It's not a strawman because there's a legal process for reversals and impeachment of justices

 

[LSU-SIU]

It is because you said there is no recourse, there is. You just don't like the nature of the process, but it does exist.
So, you claim something is true when actuality its not true, than offer up the solution for what already exists based on what you claim is true.

Either way, most of this would require a Constitution Convention, well, since I haven't actually seen it in particular, I would assume so.

There will not be a Constitutional Convention.

 

[LSU-SIU]

There will not be a Constituional Convention.

Seriously doubt it myself.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Whatever. I can easily, at high degree of confidence, establish statistically that Congress would vote no on overturning the decisions and any impeachment. The makeup of our governing body has sold out. Their concerns are to corporate lobbying. Their concerns are more about getting reelected and less about legislating for the benefit of their constituents. It's equally disruptive on both sides.

So? very rarely do people get impeached in any branch of government and for good reason.

They all have oversight.

Mob rule can be very bad as well.

Was it "mob rule" from 1972-1974? Of course the make up of Congress was more experienced, far more honorable ideologues sitting at that time. There are about 3-4 Presidents since then who have breached much worse since. Only one has been indicted

Really?

Wonder why Constitutional scholars from academia arent nominated?

Kagan and Barrett were both law professors, fwiw.

 

[McDad]

Attorneys and law professors?

Maybe it's time to nominate a Constitutional scholar .

Most of the constitutional scholars I’ve heard of are attorneys. Will Baude would have been great but he’s toast now after the disqualification article. Way too conservative for democrats and way too associated with anti-trump for republicans.

 

[volinbham]

Judge Judy?

Age limits and term limits

I'm fine with term limits. It must be applied to all branches though.

How is Baude’s disqualification thesis seen by serious scholars in the wake of the Court’s decision?

Isn't that how they do it in the banana republics?

 

[hog88]

I’m all for term limits on all federal judges.

I'm of the mindset that it doesn't matter what kind of system you make or processes you come up, eventually Humans will **** it up.
