the thing about impeaching Vought is that it will ruin his life. pull his kids and wife in for sixteen hour depositions. refer them all for perjury. scream in his face. when you're done, if it didn't work, do it again.

What everyone has to prepare for is the constitutional crisis to accelerate if the Democrats take the House and the Senate. Vought has been allowed by the Republicans to act with impunity, so have he will continue to ignore Congress. This is why you have to impeach him immediately.

Yep. The reality right now is that there aren't *any* actual debates over jurisprudence, interpretation, and so forth, because SCOTUS itself doesn't have any. The majority decides cases solely on personal preference and does not leave behind a consistent rationale for doing so.

In 1975, Cornell employee Carmita Wood resigned after persistent unwanted sexual advances from a professor. When she applied for unemployment benefits, her claim was denied on the grounds that she had left for “personal non-compelling reasons.” She appealed and was denied.

After her denied appeal, Wood went to Cornell’s Human Affairs Program, where Farley, Susan Meyer, and Karen Sauvigné helped her find feminist lawyers to continue fighting the denial. The women began organizing around her experience, but Wood’s case still failed.
