5. I was referring to the court, not Trump

“High crimes and misdemeanours” do not refer to statutory violations of the criminal code.

Impeachment is a political, not legal, process, and high crimes and misdemeanours can be whatever congress says they are.

In the 19th century, judges were impeached for public drunkenness.

My point is, all this corruption can be presented at impeachment hearing next year, and Clarence and Alito’s finances can be examined in open hearings, in public view.

Despite the futility of it, with no chance of removal, the hearings could raise public awareness of, and support for, court expansion in 2029.
