Ugh, please, this is our only hope of recovering after what Trump has done to the SCOTUS. Dems will never pack the courts, so it’s this or more bullshit for the foreseeable future.

Alito and Thomas both definitely should be. Alito refused to recuse himself of a case his traitor wife was part of. Thomas takes bribes and essentially brags about it.
I’d add that we need proper investigation in to Kav and he’d likely be ousted as well. Sure sounds like he’s a rapist, sure sounds like someone paid off his gambling debts.

Term limits 25 years for Supreme Court justices

>A Democratic candidate for Senate from Maine said there is a “compelling case” for the impeachment and removal of at least two Supreme Court justices.
>“If we held Supreme Court justices to the exact same standards we hold federal judges, there is a compelling case for the impeachment and removal of at least two,” Graham Platner said at an event, in comments that have been viewed over 690,000 times on X. “But to make that happen, we need to elect people to the Senate that want to wield power like that, who understand that it’s real and you can use it.”
>Platner did not mention the names of any specific justices in his remarks.
>Newsweek reached out to Platner for comment.
>Why It Matters
Trust in the Supreme Court remains at historic lows. A Gallup poll released in October 2025 found that 49 percent of Americans say they trust the Supreme Court either “a great deal” (16 percent) or “a fair amount” (33 percent).
>“That level of trust is among the lowest in Gallup’s trend, essentially matching the low point of 47% from 2022,” Gallup said.
>What To Know
A recent poll showed Platner leading his opponent, Maine Governor Janet Mills, for the Democratic nomination. A survey by Impact Research of 500 voters from March 19 to 23 found that Platner had support from 66 percent of respondents, while 28 percent said they would vote for Mills.
>Platner also led over Senator Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, in two polls taken last month. A poll by On Message Public Strategies, reported by Politico, showed Platner ahead of Collins by two points (44 percent to 42 percent). The poll surveyed 600 likely voters from March 3 to 8, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
>A poll from Quantus Insights showed Platner leading Collins by about 7 points (49 percent to 42 percent). The poll surveyed 800 likely voters from March 3 to 5, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
>What People Are Saying
Graham Platner, a Democratic candidate for Senate from Maine, at an event: “There is structural power in the Senate to deal with the Supreme Court. It’s going to matter, it’s going to require us to get the majority, but at that point I very much think that we need to be exercising ethics oversight over the court.”
>What Happens Next
The Maine primary election will be held on June 9, 2026, and the general election on November 3.

Yes, AND. Maybe next time we don’t let the ruling party borderline illegally seat justices? Maybe we get some term limits up in this bitch? Maybe we admit that states like California need more house members for things to actually be fair? We should do what the founding fathers intended and Constitutional Crisis the shit out of ourselves. Otherwise, these wannabe dictators will just keep chipping away at our freedoms. I want my right to bodily autonomy back, assholes.

Ya, than that leave 2 openings for Trump to appoint. One president would have appointed 5 justices. That doesn’t seem ethical
Common_Sense_2025 on
A Democrat running for office said something that will not happen for at least 6 years? Dems would have to keep their current seats and win 16 more for this to even be a possibility and that assumes all of the Dems would vote for it. They won’t.

Impeaching them while Trump is still in office is just going to lead to Trump selecting a new, younger candidate.
They should absolutely be impeached if Democrats hold the Senate and can refuse confirmation of a new justice under Trump.

Why stop at 2? In my opinion the six justices who signed on to the idea that the president is above the law have so fundamentally misunderstood and misinterpreted the constitution that they should all be impeached and removed.

If a President is convicted of treason, then ALL of their appointees should be immediately removed. Not to mention that at least 5 SC Justices currently should also be fighting off their own charges of treason.

They also need to look closer at Kavanaugh, his loans being paid, his alleged history of sexual assault, and I do wonder if Justice Kennedy left under pressure by trump.

No disrespect to the “Democratic candidate”, but can we get some elected officials to start talking like this? Our elected officials are the ones who have the ability to make these changes.
