    1. Bill James Online‏ @billjamesonline 28 Jun 2019

      Do any of you know what Bernie was referring to yesterday when he talked about rotating Supreme Court justices to some other court? Is there some provision in the Constitution that we have all missed?

      Justices cannot be removed, under Article III, except by impeachment ("during Good Behavior"). I suppose Bernie's theory is that demotion to a federal appeals court is still "their Offices" as federal judges, but that is a very flimsy legal argument.pic.twitter.com/9WWq9qatz5

          The Consitution does not list impeachment. It says Good Behavior, which has always been interpreted as "until death".

          It has in practice been treated as synonymous with "life tenure unless impeached." Most of the federal officials removed from office via the impeachment process have been judges.

          If Bernie wants to push radical Court reform he should be pressing for expansion of the number of justices —which would only require statutory change. Shuffling judges would clearly require a constitutional amendment.

          I don’t think it would. SCOTUS justices serve by designation on appellate cases occasionally. Someone, I think it was Souter, even was trial judge in a case about 20 yrs back. There were no circuit courts until 1906. Until then, SCOTUS justices heard intermediate appeals.

          Imagine such a law is adopted, who would have standing to challenge it in front of the courts? See where I'm going with this? 😁

          i guess the idea is to designate them as "riding circuit" indefinitely?
