let's hope some actual evidence of "inefficiency" is needed and not just the bare assertion of it, because you know that will be the trump admin's immediate next step

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Very transparent. Much data. So wow.
This is going to end well. Supreme Kangaroo Court will likely rule in favor of the Republicans who installed them in their position.
And Americans will complain about it but not actually do anything else.
The Supreme Court justices are installed by the president. There is no way for the people to exercise their will and remove them. They must be impeached by Congress, which is controlled by the Republicans.
Well in that case I guess there's nothing to do but keep your head down and let it happen.
They don't care about public opinion or if people complain about them. Ask the French what they do when their representatives stop representing.
Not one American remembers that the tool of the people is actually the threat of violence. Its why the State works so had monopolizing it.
Oh there's a handful of ways...
...which is why the Supremes massively increased their own security budget.
All of which is in place mostly because some actively voted for Republicans and most of the rest decided they couldn't be bothered voting
The Republicans always have a base of 20-30% that will always vote for them no matter what. They managed to stir up more of the crazies in the last few election cycles.
And the rest of eligible voters, too lazy, apathetic or just dumb
That was still my original point
The other 20-30% of the voting population went democrat and the rest decided not to vote.
Seems like we have a 3 voter system: R or D or A.
A for apathy.
My guess at the Supreme Court's bullshit response:
Failing to resign when asked is neglecting your duty.
No need to resign if you're terminated.
Also taking the courts time is obviously inefficiency /s
The stacked court with seats they stole, who voted he's immune from prosecution even after leaving office... I'm not holding my breath.
SCOTUS has laid their position on this out when Biden was president.
~~5-4~~ 6-3 the president can do what they want if it is an official act.
To an ignorant serf like me it looks like they have no room to maneuver here without undoing their previous ruling.
Why would they want to undo it? Their king god is POTUS now... if there is ever a non trumptard president, maybe they'd be tempted to undo it, but that is not the case today
