Then I guess Dems better start impeaching SC Justices & charging them like we’ve been asking for two years now

Hello!? Start with each of them blatantly lied at their confirmation hearings.

Robert, 💯🎯 Exactly! Nobody did one damned thing about it. Why was that ok?? If a democratic party candidate for judicial confirmation LIED, blatantly, during the confirmation process, they'd be having 50K investigations going on. 🤬

For sure! Look at the meltdown over the Hunter pardon! Trump would rescind it he could.

The right-wing justices chose their words very carefully (as we lawyers tend to do) and they didn't actually lie. I have recently watched a montage of their answers to the questions regarding Roe and any attempt to impeach them would fail.

Not necessarily. Better to try than let their answers stand as the truth. A good trial attorney could convict Mother Theresa. It's an art, I'm an attorney too. I've seen it done before. ⚖️

I agree with you about what a good trial attorney is capable of. I also am an experienced trial attorney who has had success representing my clients. However, having listened to the S.Ct. Justices answers during their confirmation hearings, they didn't perjur themselves.

I wholeheartedly disagree with your premise that it is always better to try. It is unethical to try when you know the effort is frivolous. Doing so ultimately harms the person knowingly bringing a case they know is baseless and one they absolutely cannot prevail on.

There are other grounds that a few of them could be successfully impeached on but definitely not for perjury.

There are at least 4 of them should be impeached, pull their license and throw them in prison

They should be impeached over that act of purgery alone, let alone the additional corruption since.
