Aoc files articles of impeachment against Alito and thomas

What I'd like is for the Republicans to take the houses, and then expand the SCOTUS to 59 seats... w/ 50 approved by state legislatures... that would remove the incredible political impact of 9 robes. It gives the state a say in the legality of what Congress passes. makes the annual SCOTUS retirement worries disappear. 59 seats just has less impact if one of them drops dead..

Or get rid of Thomas and not allow scotus judges to receive any gifts.
Thomas is the definition of corruption. Impeach him.

Not in the least. It doesn't take but a few minutes more to get the vote from 59 than it does from 9. I would also have the main 9 still doing oral arguments... the other 50 get conferenced in. The 50 Also would get a say in what gets heard.

The dems want to expand to 13 -17.. just so they get to seat more justices... okay if we're going to seat more justices lets do it fairly... every state gets one. It gives states a bigger say in the interpretation of the laws as well.

Federalism and Separation of powers at work.

I respectfully disagree. I also disagree with expanding the court. We’ll just have to wait until Alito and Thomas kick the bucket.

The idea that Montana and South Dakota would have the same voice on The Supreme Court as California and New Your is intriguing.
