Trying to impeach the justices would have been as stupid and Reid changing the required votes for appointments to a simple majority. It would only start a cycle of impeaching and replacing the justices depending on who’s in power and destabilizing our system of checks and balances. Making rules to benefit yourself while in power will only serve to benefit someone else in 5-10 years. Besides the fact that acting like the Dems is obviously not a smart move.
Repeal NFA and GCA? Not going to happen. At least it’s unlikely in my lifetime and I’ve probably got at least 35 years left in me.
Hell, the impeachment fiasco with Trump but the Dems in the ass.
I'm not sure you can impeach an already sitting supreme court justice
Has it ever been successfully done to a Supreme Court Justice? I'm just curious.Now you can be sure. Allow me to introduce you to Article 2, Section 4 of the US Constitution.
... gives Congress the authority to impeach and remove "The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States"
As for impeachment of federal judges and Justices, it's been tried 66 times:
The point in voting is to put people in office that you think will do the things you support, but there are rules about how those things are done. One of those currently is that it takes 60 votes to cut off debate so you can have that vote (filibuster).That's great. No problem. And when the democrats elect the majority of the government, it will serve their interests, which are different. And when we elect the majority once again, if it doesn't serve our interests, what was the point in voting?
As for the NFA / GCA -- you say it's not going to happen. Then why bother voting, if even when you win the government won't implement your will? Shouldn't unconstitutional laws be repealed or overturned?
Then I don't understand your earlier post about "sweeping". What's the point of sweeping, as we did, if we don't use it to implement the will of the people? You say, "Making rules to benefit yourself while in power..." -- what do you think the point of government is? Government is supposed to benefit those who create the government. If we elect the government, then the government is supposed to benefit us. Generally, Republicans like to start with, "Government should protect my liberty."

Did it? Then why is Joe Biden leading in the polls? I assume since it "bit them in the ass" we can look forward to keeping the Senate and re-electing Trump, while re-gaining control in the House?
I try not to live in a bubble but when 2016 rolled around and everyone was sworn in, I sure was hoping for some minor technical corrections legislation to tweak the NFA and FOPA. Obviously, I was disappointed.If you think that is the will of “the people” you are living in a bubble no different than the far left.

Never go full tard.We did sweep. Trump's first years in office, and the 114th United States Congress.
And what did the morons do? They frittered it away. Could have repealed the NFA, could have repealed the GCA, could have impeached Ginsberg and Breyer and Sotomayor and Kagan right off the Court, could have forced a balanced budget, term limits, any freaking thing in the world.
