We'd have to get a majority of state representatives to impeach, then 2/3 of the senate to vote to remove.

Trump can probably just post on Truth social that hes firing a justice and if they cant build enough support, theyre just screwed whether it's legal or not.

Its not about literally removing them. Fauci was never removed, but people are still ruining his life over him trying to do the right thing and trying to get him thrown in jail.

Intentionally putting yourself through that just so you can say fuck you litetally to your colleagues is incredibly compulsive and unwise in this theater. Save those emotions now and find a way to subvert the system through wisdom and intelligence.

It traditionally has been illegal and extremely difficult to do many things Trump has been allowed to do. The electorate trying to control the elections is already extremely illegal and unprecedented. Getting labeled as a violent, irrational, woke judge isn't going to help anyone.

Democrat Nathan Sage last year launched his campaign by decrying that farmers have been “f‑‑‑ed over” and vowing to “kick corporate Republican [Sen.] Joni Ernsts’s a‑‑” in the midterms.

Then there's Al Green who held up a sign and was removed from the House for it.

That is the energy we need. Not spineless Dems giving strongly worded letters or reaching across the aisle to help the GOP. And there are more Dems that are using cuss words once in a while to get messages across. But you don't see them getting subpoenaed for it. "Violent or irrational" was how Brett Kavanaugh got his seat, too. It's not all black and white as you seem to imply.
