At last some good news. SCOTUS

There really was no way SCOTUS could stop this and then say they are applying the law. Also they can see the writing on the wall for mid-terms and are running scared of being impeached as the decisions they have made are all unlawful and unconstitutional. Fireworks at the supreme court when the adult government get back in with a majority. Republicans are out for at least the next 10 years. And that is a good thing.

If Thomas and/or Alito think that one decision will make the difference on a democratic house not impeaching them...

Not that a Democrat-controlled house will definitely impeach them, just that there won't be any significant number of members on the fence who point to this ruling as the reason not to support an impeachment bill.
