1 year agoWell, here’s the problem. Alito is correct, that Congress can’t impose “ethics rules” on the court.
The sole remedy given to the people is impeachment, and Bribery is explicitly listed as a valid basis for impeachment under Article 1.
We would never get an impeachment through the Senate, of course.
Can you explain it to dipshits like me? As I read the Constitution, impeachment is the only remedy to remove a Federal judge, and success requires a supermajority of the Senate.
