In reply to the discussion: In general, the federal judges---and justices---that Trump and McConnell have elevated [View all]Atticus
(15,124 posts)18. I do not have dossiers on all of McConnell's misfits. In my view, it is reasonable to say
that any objective reason that SHOULD have prevented their confirmation can be the basis for their impeachment. "Crimes" are, to my knowledge, not required to be alleged.
I do NOT advocate removal simply because they do not "align with our values" so please put that strawman away. I DO advocate removal of all for whom the concept of "American values" is irrelevant. In general, people who have publicly made it clear that they believe people of color, LBGTQ folks, women and non-Christians are inferior beings and not entitled to the full protection of our laws and Constitution should not be sitting in judgment of anyone. I do not believe that is a radical view.
