I seriously hope we can one day change the constitution (just probably not in our lifetime) to remove life tenure for judges.

Should be Democrats plural, but that would be impolite.

(Congressman Steve Cohen’s Articles of Impeachment):
“Article One – The Chief Justice allowed the Court to become a partisan force, in breach of the constitutional guarantee of a republican form of government, due process, and equal protection of the laws, and the Chief Justice’s obligation to “administer justice without respect to persons” and “faithfully and impartially” discharge his duties. Time and time again, the Court has violated its own principles with a pattern of interfering in elections on behalf of Republican candidates.
Article Two – Under Chief Justice Roberts’ stewardship, the Court systematically preferred the powerful over the people, undermining the notions of popular sovereignty, representation, and democracy at the heart of a constitutional republic. Taken together, Chief Justice Roberts led the Court to license a system of political exclusion that could entrench minority rule at the expense of the will of the people – a grave violation, with incalculable damage, to participatory democracy enshrined in our Constitution.
Article Three – Chief Justice Roberts violated his oath to “do equal right to the poor and the rich” by endorsing a corrupt campaign finance system that privileges the wealthy at the expense of all other citizens.
Article Four – Chief Justice Roberts violated the Constitution of the United States and his Judicial Oath by usurping Congress’s legislative role and exempting the President of the United States from criminal liability for illegal conduct. In placing a single person above the law, Chief Justice Roberts breached his oath to “administer justice without respect to persons.”
Article Five: Chief Justice Roberts’s leadership of the Court is marked by the Court’s arbitrary, unexplained, and inconsistent decisions that violate the Constitutional protections of the parties.
Article Six: Chief Justice Roberts violated his ethical and statutory obligations by failing to fully report assets on his financial disclosures and refusing to recuse himself from cases that presented perceptions of a conflict of interest. While on the bench adjudicating some of the most sensitive matters, Jane Sullivan Roberts, the Chief Justice’s spouse, was being paid millions of dollars to recruit attorneys by the very firms litigating before the Court. This conduct directly violates 28 U.S.C. § 455. More importantly, it violates the constitutional structure and the parties’ constitutional rights to an independent and impartial magistrate to adjudicate their claims.”

Proverbially burn this MF and his entire family and his allies in his Supreme Court cabal to the f***ing ground. Respond to the war they’ve been waging against the Constitution and the people by waging war against them.

I think John would feel less lonely if he could have his pals like Alito and Thomas join him in the impeachment club. Dem’s should go for the hat trick on this one.

It’s very well written… and will go absolutely nowhere

I’m all for impeaching him, but on the (minuscule) chance that this was successful in removing him, would we want that to happen while Trump is still president and able to appoint a younger replacement that’s even more partisan?

I read the entire complaint and I agree with all of it because it’s all true.

I don’t disagree that he should be impeached.I disagree that he should be impeached at this moment. If this succeeded trump gets another pick fuck that

Add Two more to that Impeachment Resolution

Better pray that one of them doesn’t step down. I could see that happening. And Trump gets a fourth pick.

In a perfect world the next Democratic president would be an aggressive anti Trump. Who would appoint Jack Smith AG. Then tell him to go after all these corrupt clowns.

No he doesn’t. It’s not going to go anywhere since Republicans are in charge

Should we look to impeach a Justice / Judge because we do not like their rulings? I would be against Republicans going after a Justice they disagreed with as well.

No, he doesn’t.

About time with Alito on deck…

Rep Cohen is retiring because his Memphis seat got carved up due to the overturning of the Voting Rights Act.
So a fitting FU on his way out.
Even though it won’t go anywhere, it’ll be part of Roberts legacy that an impeachment resolution was filed against him.

He belongs in a military jail for being a traitor.

It isn’t going to go anywhere but that’s probably good because Rump will put in someone far worse.

It’s political! Oh no, John Roberts will be so sad. The poor man detests anything political.

Remove Roberts so trump can appoint someone 30 years younger? Maybe go after the orange turd first.

We need to amend the Court so that an actual code of ethics can be enforced.
It’s no coincidence that public trust in SCOTUS has plummeted on his watch.
Remember that the Senate published a huge report detailing how the Court “allowed a culture of misconduct to metastasize into a full-blown crisis.”
Roberts basically scoffed…
The same guy who has been pushing back for years against criticisms of the Court’s politicization, but was the one who authored Trump’s immunity ruling, and also continues to rule in Trump’s favor on unprecedented numbers of “shadow dockets.”
