Remove abstentions from the count (8-0, 7-0, ...). The abstainers would be 'outing' themselves.

Indeed. I suspect there are many here that know it better than many lawyers!

Good point. An understanding of the constitution as originally conceived by the founders is vital.

Don't think one need be a lawyer to be a SCOTUS Justice

It's not easy to find constitutionalists to be on the SCOTUS. Law schools have ruined the minds of many who might have qualified.

I'd vote for you (or others) to be king for a year, if you had a Snake Plisken, bomb in your neck, if you wouldn't relinquish!

No one is less qualified to place or review a SCOTUS justice than Biden or Harris. One could say Obama, but that is not lack of competence. It is malicious.

I'd need the power to replace them, too. ;^)
The con-gress isn't trustworthy to vet anyone for SCOTUS.

I like where the term Freelancer comes from.
I think Lawyers should fight to the death for their clients. That would clean things up pretty quick.

We replaced the Justice System with a Legal System, and Corruption.

We failed to realize our Education Systems were taken over, and no longer creating the kinds of Citizens our forefathers wanted.

We have some blame in this. When that becomes clear. Then the actions required to fix this will be even more clear to enough people, to actually make the changes.

The constitution LIMITS government, not US!

Vlad and Charles Martel, 730 years before him, were the greatest heroes of western civilization, for sure.

Love it!

Wait until February to toss the 5 SCOTUS justices

I have a basic disgust with all lawyers, judges, and politicians.
They are bad enough when they follow the SCOTUS' already
power-biased perverted idea of constitutional limits.
If they actually betray the constitutional limits on government
power 3 times I don't want them ever to judge me or any other
innocent patriot.
I'd toss 5 of the SCOTUS right now for treason and every single
judge at any level who blocked any investigation into the obviously
corrupted 2020 election.
I have no use for corrupt scum who are supposed to be servants
of the people.
They have allowed and approved of the spread of unconstitutional
government power. They are enemies of liberty and a real threat
to the American republican form of limited government.

Honestly FFA, you have to give room to be wrong, or to miss the mark.

But ZERO Tolerance when you are simply obstructing justice.

I proffered publicly that Florida should have a Death Penalty for Activist Judges! So I might be slightly off the Middle. LMAO.

3 strikes and you are out, impeached and never to hold any position in any courtroom again.

Another excellent approach!

That occurred to me, and I bet you are 100% correct! Someone would dissent, or abstain to protect the scum.

Well, Vlad The Impaler DID keep the Muslims of the Ottoman Empire out of Transylvania (modern Romania). Recall reading that inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula is still considered a national hero there.
Vlad had a connection to an Order of the Dragon (Dracul).

Remove a judge after X overturned decisions OR one 9-0.

Oh, I like that... Add a FACTOR for the strength of the overruling. Although I wonder if weak kneed SCOTUS Dems might flip their vote to reduce the punishment.

Thanks!

I like this ... a LOT! Although, if the overturning is unanimous, it indicates you don't know the law, and should escalate the penalty. Justice should be blind, and injustice should not be tolerated!

I proposed that Every Time a Lower Court Judge gets Overturned. There should be a ding. And the percentage of times they get overturned should SCALE the impact.

The impact should make a PERMANENT Percentage deduction to their paycheck.

Something like:
1%,2%,4%,16%,32% (doubling on each event).
Then you multiple it by by the RATIO of Overrulings::Appeals

So, if you get overruled once, no big deal.
But if you are 5 for 5, you are losing 32% of your check for life, and that much of your retirement.

Now, if you are overruled 5 times out of 10.
You are back down to 16%

But any judges desire to be a crackpot.

Furthermore, Once your salary is reduced by 50% or more, you should be removed/impeached.

Because MAYBE Soros is paying for some consulting we don't know about.

that, you, epoch times and the scotus

I am certainly up for that. Might forge some new behaviors of the presently unconstrained, legislating from the bench!

ALL! Gorgeous opinion! Even the ultimate cynic, FFA, would like reading it ;) Straight interpretation of the "Takings Clause", now applies to all level of government, and all branches of government, after this pathetic government tried to skirt the prior precedent, asserting it was limited to the Executive (bureaucrats) Branch.

So this judgement restricts local governments.
Does it also restrict state and federal governments, too?
