Melissa Murray: Dems Can’t Impeach Supreme Court Justices with a Narrow Senate Majority

‘We can’t impeach justices for their misconduct and we can’t get this bill passed’

EXCERPT:

MURRAY: "What encourages me about this move from the Democrats is that it’s the first really clear sign from the Democrats that they are trying to connect the fact of this court to the electoral process and to show -- like, they know this law has no chance of being passed, but they’re making clear to their constituents, 'We get that you are outraged about this court. But we can’t do anything about this court with a narrow majority in the Senate. We can’t impeach justices for their misconduct and we can’t get this bill passed. You want something done about this court, whether it’s this kind of sort of mid-level court reform or something more expansive, then you need to get out, you need to vote and show up — not just about the ordinary issues, but about this court and the existential threat it poses.'"
