They can be impeached?
- remmargorp64 3y agoBy us?
- numbsafari 3y agoSCOTUS impeachment is a virtual function from the electorate through their elected officials. Hopefully the receiver isn't a null object...
- meepmorp 3y agoImpeachment is a political solution, though. Conviction in the house is a simple majority, but removal from office (or other forms of punishment) requires a 2/3 majority in the senate. That's not going to happen in the current environment, no matter how unsuitable an individual might be for office. It's accountability, but in theory only.

- alex_young 3y agoOnly once has a supreme court justice been impeached, and they were acquitted by the Senate.
- noarchy 3y ago>They can be impeached? To answer your question: yes.
