I thought SCOTUS Justices were subject to possible impeachment, just as is the President. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

High crimes and misdemeanors, not old age or decrepitude. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Let me re-phase. What if she were bed ridden or hospitalized and unable to function as a participant on SCOTUS (or even a functioning human being)? I fear you're telling me she could linger on drugs and secondary support measures for months, even years, without agreeing to give up the seat. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Let me rephrase. Yes. There is no controlling legal authority that I know of. Art. 3 mentions the term as “during good behavior.” Maybe something could be made of that, but you are adrift in uncharted legal waters.

Too soon to start the "who will Trump nominate to replace her" discussion? Cue up the lawyers and victims! "No matter where you go - there you are" | |||

I know. I was responding that death and retirement were not the only ways that a Justice can leave the Court. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Candidate Trump posted a list of nearly 2 dozen judges who were potential appointees. I doubt he has considered any major changes to that list. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Well timed thread. I saw her donan interview the other day and she was barely coherent and understandable.

Edge seeking Sharp blade! |
The founding fathers assumed reasonable people would be appointed and elected to important positions in perpetuity. In their wildest dreams or nightmares, they couldn't envision the modern lib/dem. Some have suggested that the system could only succeed with moral or honest participants. Looking at how near the tipping point to the republic folding we've been, looks like they nailed it. | |||

Unfortunately, that appears to be about the same thing I was able to find. Looks like she could be totally brain dead and on complete life support and still hold the seat until her body finally gave out. I'm sure the Dem's would line up in support of that exact outcome. Quite certain the founders never dreamt of such behavior by someone working in the US government. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Indeed - our Founding Fathers even said our government was only fit for a people who were moral. Half the country said it was perfectly okay when Clintoon received a BJ in the oval office from an intern less than half his age. If RBG cared more about the well-being of the SCOTUS than her own personal agenda, she'd step down rather than letting her clerks do her job for her. | |||

Why should she have to step down just because she chooses to no longer have a pulse or detectable brain function? Shouldn't she be able to continue on as a Supreme Court justice if her lifestyle choice is to be room temperature? You guys are very narrow minded and bigoted forcing your own ideas of science and common sense on everyone else. | |||

Rule #1: Use enough gun |
So, you're saying she should be able to stay on the SC as long as she can vote? When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.
