John Roberts vom Obersten Gerichtshof steht vor einem Amtsenthebungsbeschluss der Demokraten

I seriously hope we can one day change the constitution (just probably not in our lifetime) to remove life tenure for judges.

(Congressman Steve Cohen’s Articles of Impeachment):

„Article One – The Chief Justice allowed the Court to become a partisan force, in breach of the constitutional guarantee of a republican form of government, due process, and equal protection of the laws, and the Chief Justice’s obligation to “administer justice without respect to persons” and “faithfully and impartially” discharge his duties. Time and time again, the Court has violated its own principles with a pattern of interfering in elections on behalf of Republican candidates.

Article Two – Under Chief Justice Roberts’ stewardship, the Court systematically preferred the powerful over the people, undermining the notions of popular sovereignty, representation, and democracy at the heart of a constitutional republic. Taken together, Chief Justice Roberts led the Court to license a system of political exclusion that could entrench minority rule at the expense of the will of the people – a grave violation, with incalculable damage, to participatory democracy enshrined in our Constitution.

Article Three – Chief Justice Roberts violated his oath to “do equal right to the poor and the rich” by endorsing a corrupt campaign finance system that privileges the wealthy at the expense of all other citizens.

Article Four – Chief Justice Roberts violated the Constitution of the United States and his Judicial Oath by usurping Congress’s legislative role and exempting the President of the United States from criminal liability for illegal conduct. In placing a single person above the law, Chief Justice Roberts breached his oath to “administer justice without respect to persons.”

Article Five: Chief Justice Roberts’s leadership of the Court is marked by the Court’s arbitrary, unexplained, and inconsistent decisions that violate the Constitutional protections of the parties.

Article Six: Chief Justice Roberts violated his ethical and statutory obligations by failing to fully report assets on his financial disclosures and refusing to recuse himself from cases that presented perceptions of a conflict of interest. While on the bench adjudicating some of the most sensitive matters, Jane Sullivan Roberts, the Chief Justice’s spouse, was being paid millions of dollars to recruit attorneys by the very firms litigating before the Court. This conduct directly violates 28 U.S.C. § 455. More importantly, it violates the constitutional structure and the parties’ constitutional rights to an independent and impartial magistrate to adjudicate their claims.“

I think John would feel less lonely if he could have his pals like Alito and Thomas join him in the impeachment club. Dem’s should go for the hat trick on this one.

I’m all for impeaching him, but on the (minuscule) chance that this was successful in removing him, would we want that to happen while Trump is still president and able to appoint a younger replacement that’s even more partisan?

I don’t disagree that he should be impeached.I disagree that he should be impeached at this moment. If this succeeded trump gets another pick fuck that

In a perfect world the next Democratic president would be an aggressive anti Trump. Who would appoint Jack Smith AG. Then tell him to go after all these corrupt clowns.

About time with Alito on deck…

Rep Cohen is retiring because his Memphis seat got carved up due to the overturning of the Voting Rights Act.

So a fitting FU on his way out.

Even though it won’t go anywhere, it’ll be part of Roberts legacy that an impeachment resolution was filed against him.

It’s political! Oh no, John Roberts will be so sad. The poor man detests anything political.

We need to amend the Court so that an actual code of ethics can be enforced.

It’s no coincidence that public trust in SCOTUS has plummeted on his watch.

Remember that the Senate published a huge report detailing how the Court „allowed a culture of misconduct to metastasize into a full-blown crisis.“

Roberts basically scoffed…

The same guy who has been pushing back for years against criticisms of the Court’s politicization, but was the one who authored Trump’s immunity ruling, and also continues to rule in Trump’s favor on unprecedented numbers of „shadow dockets.“

He doesn’t face anything. The resolution is fundamentally not serious and is obviously DOA in the House.

this would be the worst time to do this.

Democrats absolutely need to be doing what Republicans did with project 2025 and putting together a comprehensive one might even say vindictive plan for not how to screw people but fundamentally change and reform the system that is so broken this country absolutely needs an update to its system and then out the top of that list should be plans for how to reform the Supreme Court.

It won’t go anywhere…

Get him and then the other cultist criminal traitors out.

The constitution is used to stop Democratic presidents and ignored by Republican ones

Idk how these „justices“ fucking sleep at night, know full well the destruction of America they’ve enabled.

Cynical leftist viewpoint:and let *Trump* pick the next Chief Justice of the United States?

I hope they screw all these scumbags to the wall. What a bunch of grifters and henchmen. 

We have to protect the country from these people.

I don’t like this “tactical impeachment” point of view I see some people have. Like they want Roberts gone because he’s committed impeachable offenses (as of today), but then want to wait x years to do it because a Republican is the president.

If you think he’s done all these horrible things, then get him out ASAP.

*I don’t think this position is completely equivalent with being “holier than thou”, but it shares a lot of similarities.

nothing will happen

Super annoyed Biden refused to widen the court when he was in office.

I think the timing on this is bad. It’s telegraphing the punches, it’s showing your hand.

This will result in more weaponized propaganda to bring out Republican voters.

It does nothing right now, has no chance of going anywhere, and should have been held back until after the mid-tetm elections
