This should be an easy supreme court win, the federal government suppressing lawful free speech. But with the supreme court going 50/50 on Trump-favoring rulings who knows if actual justice will prevail.

It amazes me that the US has no way to remove corrupt judges from the bench. Seems like a huge oversight in the US constitution.

Um, it's the second thing in there.

Impeachment is the way but that requires a bipartisan or super majority decision in congress.

Yeah. The framers of the Constitution really didn't have any experience in how political parties outside of the loyalist/patriot movements of the legislatures they came from. Even outside the US, there wasn't that much experience in how democratic governments generally create political parties; even the UK was in the throws of a century old Whig oligarchy.

A lot of the checks and balances written into the Constitution relied on each politician having a major degree of independence from each other. That political parties formed and that the system only had two big tent parties broke a lot of Congressional power.

This is no joke though... The USA is turning into one of those countries it would invade, to restore human rights and establish democracy

The USA is turning into one of those countries it would invade, to ~~restore human rights and establish democracy~~ get cheap oil and resources.

FTFY. The US has plenty of oil too, so the math checks out.

kakistocracy (/ˌkækɪˈstɒkrəsi/ KAK-ist-OK-rə-see) is government by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous people.
