As far as Impeachment goes, its a process. (A claim by a party of wrong doing) They jump up and down claiming everything, but must prove it.
If said person is found to be GUILTY, then your removed.
And Ginsburg surely isn't being very affective when sleeping on the job.

The Democrats have given Trump so many political gifts already. Beginning impeachment proceedings during this campaign season would hand Trump a second term with a bright shinny bow. The Democrats lost any chance for impeachment when the Mueller investigation crashed and burned. That scenario is just not going to happen.
If you want something to worry about, worry about the economy and complacency within the conservative base.

Her job must mean a lot to her. The one thing she can't be fired, she works when she wants too, she has NO boss, gets paid and compensated very well, so why would you stop having that title. LOL

They will stuff her if they can get away with it and put strings on her to look alive rather then let Trump appoint the next one. Aren't most of those far left-leaning crazies puppets?

Actually she can be removed. It's spelled out in our operators manual, the Constitution.
All judges serve during periods of "good behavior" and can be removed by Congress via impeachment. Good behavior is a far lower bar to meet than high crimes and misdemeanors. There maybe a rule like that, but try to prove she isn't doing her job!!! That is a war you won't win so that is why that doesn't happen. LOL

Not much for teeth in any of those. In this case NO crimes etc.. but talking about not doing her job. You try to impeach someone and proving they aren't doing their job is almost impossible, and without a lawsuit that they will win.

If you can't do your job 100% in Government you should be replaced, why should the tax payers be on the hook for that. But we are on the hook. There is nothing that can be done. She can be debilitated and not be able to perform her duties and stay on without repercussions. The other Justices can vote not to take up cases if they want to wait her out, that's about it. Look up Justice William Douglas.

Look up Justice William Douglas. Also, I am sure that her clerks do all the research and write all her opinions. She just signs at the bottom and votes. Her clerks all know which way she will vote on every issue so what we have are people doing her job that were never confirmed by the Senate
