    This should be an easy supreme court win, the federal government suppressing lawful free speech. But with the supreme court going 50/50 on Trump-favoring rulings who knows if actual justice will prevail.

      It amazes me that the US has no way to remove corrupt judges from the bench. Seems like a huge oversight in the US constitution.

        Impeachment is the way but that requires a bipartisan or super majority decision in congress.

          Yeah. The framers of the Constitution really didn’t have any experience in how political parties outside of the loyalist/patriot movements of the legislatures they came from. Even outside the US, there wasn’t that much experience in how democratic governments generally create political parties; even the UK was in the throws of a century old Whig oligarchy.

          A lot of the checks and balances written into the Constitution relied on each politician having a major degree of independence from each other. That political parties formed and that the system only had two big tent parties broke a lot of Congressional power.
