Brilliant system we've got here. A racist game show host flukes his way into the presidency by losing the popular vote by three million and so he gets to install three Supreme Court justices and they get to un-do the last 50 years of legislation and jurisprudence. Wow, such popular mandate, very democracy.

@memory Has nothing to do with the law or the Constitution, either. The Constitution says:

"Judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour."

This is written as a self-executing provision.

Constitutionally, Thomas and Alito are not judges -- they've actually confessed to taking bribes. Why does Biden pretend that they're judges, rather than arresting them for their crimes?

@neroden It’s not up to him. Congress, however, can definitely impeach them. Well within their purview.
