The fight to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg megathread

Come to think about it, here is a completely dystopian scenario even if it might also be a big hot take.

If the courts get politicized so much, I would say that it is far from impossible that a Supreme Court judge could get murdered within the next 2 decades; with the objective of changing the makeup of the point, even if it has to be by gunpoint.

And I imagine that, while they probably have reasonable enough security, it must be nowhere near as much as say the President. Maybe not even as much as the average House Rep? (and one got shot not too long ago)

How much security do SC judges have around them?

Alex Jones said he thought that happened in 2016. The fact that he was in a non-densely populated area where it would be easy to get in and out makes it a possibility - but the fact that this was AFTER the 2014 midterms is why I don't believe it. That and the fact that he was rumored to be a heavy smoker.

I hope some dem senators will look at her in the eyes and say: "you think we're going to let you sit on this court for 30-40 years? You thought wrong. We will remove you from this court somehow some way".

There is no mechanism for them to do this.

something will happen in this country between now and then. If she gets indicted, no matter how frivolous - she has to resign.

We were all teenagers once. Typically when a teenager starts slitting there wrists, punching holes in the wall, breaking windows/plates, the parent realizes it can't go on this way. They wait for the kid to calm down and then they talk about what should happen going forward. If republicans are the "parents" and the dems are the teenagers - maybe they have to actually do the equivalent of what I mentioned above.
