Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He has a lifetime appointment and no sense of shame. He won't resign.
And is part of a party that only cares about power
I can think of two that fit that description.
What are they going to do, take him to court?
Could he face criminal charges? (Assuming he has committed a criminal offence)
At any point in time since 2016 you can bet that at least 50 million Americans have adopted an 'anything goes' attitude towards people who share their conservative values. Next election is going to be historic and the part of me that is dead is really excited about it.
In America politicians have no shame, and due to population density, you can't organize an effective enough protest here.
He doesn't have to do anything. He can just ignore everyone and he gets to keep his job. There simply isn't a check and balance for corrupt appointed judges, other than increasing the number of justices, which Biden has explicitly said he won't do.
He's not even really facing all that much backlash. Should we all be outraged? Obviously. As it is, I doubt this is even getting to the masses, and if it does, you just wait a week for some other moron to do something stupid...
