    While you’re absolutely right that a SCOTUS justice won’t be removed via impeachment and trial in the Senate, the impeachment and the trial itself grant Congress WIDE lattitude to perform investigations and the trial, a spectacle in its own right, means all that evidence is brought into the light for the people to see.

    Again, while removal is unlikely, the remaining corrupt justices along with their handlers, will almost certainly want to prevent such a trial, and would pressure the impeached justice to resign to avoid it.

    If the trial happens, though, a huge portion of the country gets to learn and understand just how corrupt and fickle our court is, which is something almost no one in power wants. That, alone, should be reason to push for impeachment as hard as possible.

      I can already hear the cacophony of people shouting rigged and fake news.

      I tell everybody prosecutions against both hunter and trump will benefit everyone if even a portion of discovery is made public. We get to see the sausage being made and its gross.
