Congress could impeach him and throw him out of office. Will it happen? Probably not since you would need 67 senators to vote to convict and that chamber is evenly divided at the moment. But they do have the power.
One of our two political parties has fully abandoned any semblance of good faith negotiation, objectivity, or bipartisanship. As a result:
if a shitty judge is Democratic, there’s a chance they could actually be impeached and removed from office, as the impeachment mechanism is intended to allow.
if a shitty judge is Republican, there is zero chance that they could actually be impeached and removed from office, because absolutely zero republicans would vote for the judge’s removal.
This is the game we’re forced to play. I’m getting pretty fucking sick of the blatant double standards.
I think we need to go after Menendez, if only to confirm that yes, there actually is a contrast between the parties. It’s something that will help in the long run.
But if the Democrats start being exactly as scummy as the Republicans, we are well and truly completely fucked, because that means the most viable solution becomes “we gotta channel France and make the Second American Republic, because the first one is pretty much done”.

If someone hasn’t realized it by now, this won’t change their mind.
Regardless, this does have an effect on policy so fuck this guy, get him out of office and preferably into prison.
No, it won’t.
