What an adorable opinion. Of course we would all like an independent judiciary and judges who put personal feelings aside.
It's not happening and it is silly to pretend that such independence exists.
The SCOTUS can't look at the exact same US Constitution and come to a polar 5-4 opposite decision without the liberal justices ignoring the Constitution in favor of their personal biased opinions.
Any of those decisions can be undone by Congress who has oversight of the court. By simple amendment of any decision makes any law they strike down void, as well as with any law they uphold. The Congress is the final word as they are the elected representatives of the people, not the appointed judges of the court.
Rightard America will be learni
Ask Spartacus whose judge is Kavanaugh. Roberts is spinning.
Roberts is the Chief Justice. Kavanaugh doesn't have any say about jack shit. He's a junior member of the court with one vote on any issue, and nothing else. And when the impeachment trial starts it will be Roberts sitting on it, and junior will get to watch it on television like everyone else.
No one is getting impeached
On one of the news shows today, they had on a judge who had worked on Clinton's impeachment. He said that impeachment would be a mistake, unless they had hard, irrefutable evidence that Trump should be removed from office, and he didn't think that there was that level of evidence (yet).
He said that a smarter route would be to issue a subpoena to Trump after he leaves office and prosecute him through the courts that way.
And i'm in agreement with that. The state of New York could do far more damage to the Trump crime syndicate through state prosecution, and the use of civil asset forfeiture that the Supreme Court could not protect him from, or his kids, or be pardoned by another President. This is why Robert Mueller has shared all of his evidence with the Attorney General of New York. Trump isn't going to escape, nomatter who is on any court.
