Dissolve the court. Arrest Gorsuch, Thomas, Alito and Kavanaugh. Bring in an independent investigator and if any of the others have so much as gotten a ride to their car from someone with business before the court arrest them too. No more “well it’s only a little bit corrupt” or “yeah but you’ve gotta understand” or that horse shit. You want your word to be the literal law that almost 400 million people have to live under? You need to be fucking flawless.
Whole I agree with the sentiment, there’s technically no laws against the corruption. You can’t just arrest people because you don’t agree with them and think they’re immoral. Do that and imagine what a republican regime will do with that ability.
Because an unelected council of lifetime appointed politically motivated actors who can arbitrarily decide whether democratically instilled laws are valid on a case by case basis is fundamentally stupid and obviously prone to corruption.
Just the Supreme Court, thanks. Though I’m not super happy about those lesser courts being lifetime appointments either, so maybe they could do with some reform instead. We can always revisit those later, call it incremental improvement.
But the Supreme Court is part of the whole system of appeals courts. They all have lifetime appointments. It makes no sense. You’d just be giving regional judges more power and the country would have even more stark divided across state lines.
So you did read the part where I said that I’m not happy about the lesser courts being lifetime appointments? Why does it matter if the Supreme Court is part of the appellate court system? There are federal courts of appeal beneath the SC so idk how you think that’d be shifting more power into regional courts. And even if it did, so what? Breaking up concentrated sources of power is good, not bad.
I’ll get downvoted for supporting your question in seek of an answer. Why dissolve the Supreme Court? Can reform not work? If you dissolve the Supreme Court then what is the proposed alternative?

18 U.S.C. § 201 says what?
Why should we dissolve the court?

So do you throw out the whole appeals court system? Or just the Supreme Court?
