Whilst it’s an amusing thought, I really don’t think that advocating assassinating your judicial opponents is a good idea. Remember that once it starts, it wont stop, so even if you get someone who aligns with your views, they’ll likely be eliminated in short order.

Term limits, age restrictions or even just a robust anti-bribery system would likely achieve similar results.

Considering the Supreme Court basically just legalized bribery, what do you think the odds are that we’re going to get that?

That’s why I said ‘even just a robust anti-bribery system’. Right now the Republicans seem to be trying to speed-run turning the country into a fascist dictatorship, minimally hampered by the Democrats. The Republicans hold all the power right now, bar the actual president, so it makes sense they can push though their vision of the future.

The Democratic leadership likes taking bribes just as much.

Oh I know, that’s why I said ‘even just a robust anti-bribery system’. You wouldn’t have though it would be too controversial to say that the members of the supreme court shouldn’t be on the take, but there you go.

The US omniparty already murders its political opponents. It murdered sitting politicians, it murdered political candidates, it murders the leaders of political parties, it murders non-electoral political pressure groups, it murders loose-knit groups of single-issue activists, it murders outspoken critics of its policies, it murders union leaders, it murders union members, it murders foreign heads of state, it murders foreign political figures, it murders members of NGOs that counter its interests.

This is the factual, repeated, and continued to this day, history of the United States of America.

And, admittedly depending on what you believe, its possibly murdered a sitting president.

That fair, although I do think that the president marching into the supreme court, armed with his choice of automatic weapon, and just gunning them down might be a little too extreme even for the USA. The Dems like to, at least be seen to, play fair.

Ah yes, retreat to a jokey cartoon straw man instead of addressing the point.
