The Chief Justice should not be on, let alone be the titular head of, the Smithsonian Board of Regents. Why? It’s become too political. We’re seeking 2 lawmakers — 1 left, 1 right — who share some animosity toward the Chief, to draft a law that’d remove him. Inquire within.

The Supreme Court is the people's court! A couple years ago, we worked on a proposal to make the justices' papers official government records & put on them on the same release timeline as presidential records — i.e., 12 yrs after the end of a justice's tenure. Time to dust that one off...

This nonsense is the reason judges who actually deserve to be impeached — Judge Ross, specifically — are not, because if the GOP advanced a Ross resolution & ignored ones like this, the far-right's definition of what's "impeachable conduct" would fall like a house of cards. A sad state of affairs.

Baude: I agree that we are in unprecedented times, maybe even a constitutional crisis, but if we survive it, the court deserves no small share of the credit.
Vladeck: Exactly the same credit we might give to the arsonist who shows up with a fire extinguisher.
