@BwanaLawFirm @duty2warn It's my understanding (tho you'd know way more) that it's an impeachable offense for a SCOTUS nominee to lie to congress when being vetted for an appointment and if found to have merit that is grounds for removal. What I don't know and can't find is if any of the rulings

@BwanaLawFirm @duty2warn pertaining to case law they lied about could be reversed after the fact. I'd think despite any reasonable interpretation of questions asked during the current case, until a ruling over turning Roe v. Wade is handed down, there is no way to find impeachable grounds as the

@BwanaLawFirm @duty2warn ruling itself would be the decisive evidence. I also believe the SCOTUS 5 will stack the deck meaning Roberts (no one ever believes me when I tell them Roberts is positively diabolical but he is) will write the majority opinion in such a way as to appear to have arrived at a

@BwanaLawFirm @duty2warn compromise between settled case law and the current assertion of "states rights BS blah blah blah" to keep up the appearence of being a moderate & keep the other two out of hot water before mid terms .

@BwanaLawFirm @duty2warn no ruling will be effective (meaning t/SCOTUS ruling would be accepted while keeping a modicum of legitimacy) if he doesn't manage the court so as to keep everything politically and socially on even keel.

If SCOTUS losses the GOP Senate tie or majority next mid terms they're

@BwanaLawFirm @duty2warn done and he knows it.

It's alot harder to get SCOTUS rulings reverse engineered through congress than it is for SCOTUS to meter out case rulings one by one that in sum, EFFECTIVELY GUT ROE V WADE.
