#1 Just need more things like this to finally remove the blinders from the rubes eyes who desperately want to believe the fantasy that its still a constitutional republic and not an oligarchy. Maybe because faced with the reality that its no longer a legitimate democratic/republican form of government they actually might have to do something, but would rather just go along thus in a sense giving their consent to be so governed.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

It's time to stop talking about tea, and long past time to question the very legitimacy of those who've rigged the system to serve their interests and their agents.

#2 Article II allows Congress the power to impeach, or permanently remove from office, members of the judicial branch. Impeachment is allowed for the conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

Failing to enforce the constitution of the United States is treason to me. Removing a justice just once would put an end to this nonsense.

#3 Article II does, indeed, assuming the party that brings the impeachment has the numbers in both Houses to make it stick. A simple majority in the Senate won't cut it. Perhaps the next election will change that.
