Given the current state of the Congress, just how far do you think trying to impeach a Supreme Court justice will get? Indignation never has worked very well as a tactic and will just further stir up the resistance to rationality. We need to play the long game, no matter how it feels right now. The most important goal right now is to keep the government as functional as we can. The place to be focusing our efforts is at the state and local level, because that is where the payoff in 2014 will be. And if we do our jobs, we can win. Instead of wringing our hands about the SC decisions, get the word out about what impact they could have on people in your community. And don't forget: these two decisions are particularly weak ones.
Now let's get busy putting our energy where it will do some good- getting out the vote in 2024, and supporting state and local candidates who understand what the Constitution for what it was meant to be.
