None of this is going to be fixed by lawful means. What I’m saying is that, for example, you wanted to remove Crooked Clarence from the SCOTUS, you’d need 50%+ in the House and 66%+ in the Senate to get an impeachment done.
That’ll never happen. That means a peaceful solution can’t happen. And as the violent problem solvers seem nearly exclusively aligned with the corrupt team, this doesn’t get better.
Thinking about where I might emigrate…
@MidnightRider and on top of that, my health is not enviable. Many nations don’t want to accept those who may be a disproportionate burden. On the plus side I have advanced degrees and considerable experience in a field that remains in demand.
And as I’m old now, I’m not likely to contribute for a real long time. I think my options are really limited, but I’m still looking. Girlie has offered to make a decent man of me by marrying me, which could get me a spousal EU residency. (She’s dual)
@MookyTroubadour I completely understand the urge because I have it myself. By next year, I will own very little and be very mobile but from the checking I did it’s just not going to be feasible. I hope you have better luck.
Take heart. There are some things that can be done right away by the new Congress to mitigate this extremist overreach.
1- Congress creates term limits, which temporarily increases the court as each president selects two new judges per four-year term.
2- Expand lower courts with a more diverse set of judges to curb the influence of rulings on a state level.

3- Congress reforms nomination and confirmation process.
4- Congress strengthens the ethical code of conduct with an independent investigative panel that has the power to administer disciplinary action.
5- Reform the "shadow docket" to eliminate decision without explanations.
6- Congress guards against judicial overreach by limiting the jurisdiction of appellate cases reviewed by the Supreme Court.

We can fight back. SCOTUS has done a lot of damage and it will take time, but it is possible.

@MookyTroubadour Good luck, exit taxes, sales tax on any home you’ll sell and with Italy, they want a massive chunk of coin coming in. Some shoestring cousin who is a lawyer at Google wanted to buy a place in Florence and they wanted 40% of his net worth to move there.
