When tRump is proven to have committed conspiracy + collusion, will that prompt a SCOTUS redo?

[RiverStone]

The only thing more infuriating then appointing Kavanaugh, is that it's very likely ALL that has followed after tRump cheated to win in 2016 would NOT have happened without Russian collusion, voter suppression, and paying off people to hide stuff just before the election (see Stormy).

If (when) the criminal regime is finally brought to justice (may take years), do you believe we can move as a country to restore balance to the SCOTUS? The environmental and social consequences of the criminal regime may take a generation to heal from, but there is an alternative reality which we all know should be true.

It would be like catching a bank robber, then requesting he give back the stolen loot. We deserve restitution as a nation for having a SCOTUS seat stolen from Obama, now this horrendous aberration and injustice! Solution: immediately move to impeach tRumps appointments!!! He was not legally elected, therefore they are forfeited.

Realistic or pipe dream?

3. I don't think there's a "re-do" of anything; 2016 was like America sticking its hand in a grinder

At this point, we're somewhere just past elbow-deep...we can stop ourselves and pull back, try to stop from bleeding out or dying from shock, and try to recover and do the best we can with whatever's left, but we'll never be the same after this.

I mean, or we could keep going this direction and see if this new way is better...maybe authoritarianism and the entrenchment of white male privilege is what this country really craves. We have somewhat of a public forum coming up soon....

7. I don't think it's there?? But, our founders never anticipated the tRump coverup and criminal help

So this requires a Constitutional amendment?

6. Yer in uncharted territory.

And there is no definitive answer to be fronted . But ask yourself this, if the election were to become null and void, than who steps in on the temporary until all matters are delt with accordingly .

8. Good question, but I agree - uncharted waters for sure

I just can't fathom when the truth finally comes out and people are held accountable for tRumps crimes, that we just say "oh well" - there has to be consequences and restitution to fit the crime to our nation. So I hope!?

11. In that you might consider all of what collusion entails

and how far and how deep it goes. It's huge.

9. No

You can't impeach lifetime judges/justices based on the crimes of the person who nominated her/him.

Now if we successfully impeach Trump because all of those things you mentioned were proven, it could be argued that the Supreme Court should be permanently enlarged to offset whatever number of Justices that were put on the court during Trump's illegitimate reign.

Though that would be a very tough sell since there's no guarantee that Hillary would have won the election.

All those manipulations took place in the republican primaries (as well as the general election) and helped Trump beat out Jeb, Cruz, Rubio, and the rest.

So you're not really talking Hillary vs Trump but rather "Trump vs the republican field" then "the winner of the field vs Hillary".

Yeah, if you could prove that Hillary would have beaten any of the Republican candidates, regardless of the circumstances, a straight up offsetting the Trump damage could be easily justified to the American people. But none of the polls I saw from summer 2015 through the republican convention showed Hillary as a slam dunk against everyone.

12. Split the difference

If Democrats win big, they should propose enlarging the court by ONE position to account for the GOP Senate's refusal to consider Garland. That's defensible, I believe. Democrats could respond to critics by saying, "What's the alternative? Adopting Republicans tactics and threatening to deny a vote on any opposition president's nominees? We're not going there. But Obama and the tens of millions of Americans who voted for him twice deserve this redress, which is entirely consistent with the Constitution."

15. Great idea! Rec this

Hope it happens!

14. Thanks Slammer for the thoughtful reply!

Good overview on what is more realistic

10. No.

13. Civil unrest is the only way

If drumpf is removed, we need to get a million people to surround SCOTUS and occupy the building. Refuse to let SCOTUS be seated until gorsuch and bart resign.
