Oh gosh, so many people are coming up with these ideas that amount to doing away with judicial independence that seem outright dangerous, more dangerous than even the current situation.

Congress threatening a Supreme Court justice to resign using blackmail? To accept that sort of behavior is to open the gate to it with all of the justices moving forward.

Don't like Thomas? Fine. there are eight other justices there in the weakest branch of government, and there are checks and balances protecting us from even bad opinions that are handed down.

But to hand Congress the power over the otherwise independent judiciary? That's a huge deal.
