when that is EXACTLY what Gorsuch, Alito, and Thomas just tried to do. This executive order was so preposterously unconstitutional and such a clear violation of the CLEAR language of the 14th amendment that to be a dissenter in this case was to give the whole game away. We already knew what and who these people are, but when it is a case this blatant it really should be grounds for impeachment. It won't happen of course.

I wish there was a defined set of standards that all these people had to meet in order to keep their positions. Obviously that standard would be absurdly low do to politics, but when you try to make a 1+1 = 6 decision it should be grounds for immediate removal. This case was that clear cut. In fact it never should have been taken up.
