    This is so uncharitable. There’s a reason for this mechanism and it’s not true. The Senate was a democratic majority just a few years ago so it’s not impossible. The issue is we are always holding on by a thin margin to either the house or Senate. I don’t think we should be advocating for assassinations on Lemmy or any platform.

      A supreme court justice requires a senate super majority to remove, and it’s never been done successfully.

      Again, I’m not advocating anything, but if a system of government is no longer representing the will of the people, actively working to hurt those people, and the people have no mechanism to peacefully recall a high ranking member of the government, especially a lifetime appointment, the only option left is violence.

      This is just a statement of fact.

      Honestly, I think the founding fathers did it intentionally.
