Nothing will come of it. The only guardrail on the Supreme Court is impeachment and the Republican led House will not start impeachment hearings on a Republican Judge.
Want to change that? Here’s what needs to happen in 2024:
A Democratic President
A Democratic majority in the House
At LEAST a 60 vote Democratic majority in the Senate.
Kennedy died several months after Obama took office. What were Democrats doing during this time, aside from bailing out bankers and dronestriking weddings?
Which enabled the Tea Party movement and set the stage for the losses in 2010.
Followed by the “Cash For Clunkers” act in July to prop up the American auto industry, an industry many Republicans (including Mitt Romney) at the time said we should just let die.
Then Kennedy died, we lost the 60 vote majority, and Republicans proceeded to use the filibuster more times than all the other Presidential terms combined.
That’s not a quote that’s even in the article. How about:
Given these differences in wealth portfolios, bailing out financial assets after 2008 while allowing homeowners to drown directly concentrated the national wealth into the hands of the richest white families.
Kennedy died in August of 2009, in those 8 months they (and Obama) kind of saved the American economy?
“The economy” meaning rich people’s yacht money?
Which enabled the Tea Party movement and set the stage for the losses in 2010.
You can tell that the Democrats made a massive positive difference in the way that voters threw their asses out of power within two years of Obama’s inauguration, replacing him six years later with a game show host. If that isn’t victory, I don’t know what is!
Can you name a bill the Democrats have passed within the last fifty years that has made a positive difference in your material life as well as the material lives of the people around you? Without doing research?
Why has Biden refused to use the defense production act to pass universal health care? Why hasn’t he packed the courts? Why is it so hard for him to do these things but so easy for him to send tens of billions of dollars to Nazis in Ukraine?

did you not see that he is in charge of internet conversations and is using his legal authority to quash this entire line of inquiry?
our only recourse is to wait for the next election and vote out his Pedantic Liberal Party in favor of a nebulous alternative and hope their platform includes a plank to revisit this issue at a later date.
So if the Democratic party leadership won’t commit to impeachment how is voting for them going to change the status quo of not impeaching judges?
You said if you want to change this, you need this many Democrats. But the Democrats aren’t saying they’re going to change it. And presumably they know more about their intentions than you.
Also you need 2/3 majority to convict. So you might want to revise your numbers.
