Know what would destroy the Roberts Court faster than anything? A Judges' Revolt.

If I were a federal judge, I'd decline to honor any of the controversial Roberts Court decisions. I'd openly say, "that decision is not good law because the Court as currently constituted is corrupt and illegitimate, and to follow its decrees would be to violate my oath to the Constitution."

Impeach me. Do it. See if you can get the Senate votes. Otherwise, I'm appointed for life. Now imagine if dozens of federal judges, trial and appellate, did the same thing.

Yes, I am a lawyer. Yes, I am serious.

Questions for the presidential :

  1. Should people convicted of serious crimes be barred from voting permanently (as in many Republican states) or should their rights be reinstated after they are released from prison?

  2. Which crimes do you consider most serious: falsifying business records, tax fraud, or rape?

  3. Talk to us about sharks.
