My God.

This hit so hard.

Because you know what they're going to choose.

And it makes you feel like, as a species, we may be irredeemable. So many of us find just doing the basic decent thing an utter impossibility.

Iโ€™ve been to 34 but technically only โ€œvisitedโ€ 29, because I was born in or lived in 5 of these.

Absolutely. But the question is how you do it. Impeachment requires a senate supermajority thatโ€™s going to be all but impossible to get. Creating a new model that allows a bipartisan committee of judges to rule on it would be much better.

Iโ€™m sure youโ€™re right but it could be structured in a way that minimizes the potential for abuse (for example, by assigning responsibility to a committee of judges selected by both parties to minimize the risk of bias).

But the alternative is making it all but impossible to remove a federal judge.

Fuck Everything, We're Doing Five Blades Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of shaving in this country. The Gillette Mach3 was the razor to own. Then the other guy came out with a three-blade razor. Were we...

You ceased being satire and became the Oracle of Delphi a long time ago, around the time of the first real five blade razor.

Thatโ€™s how itโ€™s been used to date but itโ€™s not mandated by the constitution and itโ€™s actually contrary to practice at the time of adoption. Chief Justice Rehnquist was a big advocate adopting simpler procedures (which should have been used on him).

Honestly, true of most boomers! Push their birthdate from 1950 to 1975 and watch how their effortless career path becomes a road to precarious futility!

Guilty Splinter is your home for news and opinions that challenge power in our political and economic system that's becoming more unhinged each and every day.

Congress, by a simple majority, could pass rules allowing for the removal of federal judges and justices for bad behavior, such as blatant perjury in their confirmation hearings (Iโ€™m looking at you, Kavanaugh). If Dems ever have a trifecta again, thatโ€™s the first thing they need to do.

I just want to remind everyone that impeachment (which is effectively impossible in this environment because of the super-majority requirement for conviction) is NOT the only way to remove a federal judge, contrary to popular belief.

The โ€œgood behaviourโ€ clause has never been used but itโ€™s there.

God, did anyone time their life better than Mick Jagger?

Gets to enjoy all the best parts of the best 6 decades of partying in history and by the time he dies, if he ever dies, the world is going to be a hellhole.

Imagine if heโ€™d been born 20 years earlier or later. Heโ€™d have been a bus driver.

Oh sure, everyone up in arms just because Elonโ€™s slapdash diner is literally disintegrating on top of its customers, but the alternative is doing away with gravity and thatโ€™s just not a price Iโ€™m willing to pay for some woke safety bureaucracy.

I mean, at the time, Trump was 99% focused on Manhattan real estate anyway. So you have an NYC real estate developer noticing the poaching of one of his most junior employees at a satellite property and deciding, on that basis alone, to end a decades long friendship.

Ghislaine Maxwellโ€™s Life of Secrets Even if Ghislaine Maxwell did pull something out of her mental basket of deplorables and heaped sexual calumnies on leading Democrats and said that Trump didnโ€™t write that birthday message to Epstein,...
