    The idea that an entire republic is dependent upon the unaddressable interpretations and integrity of 12 priests in robes, priests whom are not democratically elected or accountable to the people, is an absurdity.

      Lifelong… If my boss told me I could never be fired no matter how shitty of a job I did, you better believe I would be the worst!

        They can be fired - SC justices can be recalled via impeachment by Congress, who ultimately derives their power from the people via elections. Congress is abdicating responsibility and power, and the electorate is too ignorant to know or care. The whole chain of responsibility is simply being ignored because the people voted for this repeatedly.
