If this isn't impeachable then what the fuck is?

Real answer? It would be impeachable if a progressive did it. Conservatives will not be held accountable by neo-liberals.

The change that would need to happen for conservatives to be held accountable would not be peaceful.

It’s amazing just how obviously corrupt the Supreme Court is and no one seems to have any ability to do anything about it…I guess this means the government in general is corrupt…which means not nothing good for the future.

Conservatives are the cause of nearly every problem our world faces.

Vulnerable people being exploited? The exploiters are always conservatives. Minorities being oppressed? Again, always conservatives. Unmitigated destruction of the environment leading us all to extinction? You got it... Conservatives.

Shitbag "justice" on the take, selling the nation's health and well-being to the highest bidder? Whaddya know?! It's a goddamned sub-human conservative again. What a surprise!

@YoBuckStopsHere

I think that most appointed or elected judges would consider their standing and circumstances before ruling on a matter or even weighing in on a matter before them - a lifetime appointment to the office completely removes the need for that kind of introspection or jurisprudence in the matter before them because I AM JUSTICE (bow before my magnificence, you plebes). This needs to change.
