      If SCOTUS attempts to change the constitution, without the required support of congress, then it gives the ok for the American people to remove them.

      Technically they haven’t done anything illegal yet

        They are there to interpret the law. The plan isn’t to remove or challenge it, but to change its meaning into however they want. There is no -lawful- means of removing them from power.

          Again the constitution isn’t law, but laws are required to adhere to as close to the constitution as possible, and those changes cannot be made by Judges

            They literally can. I don’t know if you’re just ignorant, but the supreme court has the authority to interpret the constitution and decide what it “really” means. If they decide that the 14th only applies to people exclusively under US jurisdiction (like they’ve indicated is the plan) then that’s the way it is. It doesn’t matter how shitty or blatantly wrong their argument is. It only matters what they decide, and whatever they decide becomes de jure fact. There’s no legal method to counter it.

          In theory a twelve gauge and a dream.

          In practice a civil war which would kill millions and most likely dissolution or heavily decentralize the federal government.

            If you’re holding out hope that Congress would impeach and remove any Supreme Court Justice, let alone all the ones who need removing, I have a bridge to sell you.
