The remedy the Brunson case is asking for is not constitutional.
The Legislative Branch (Congress) is the only one with the power to remove sitting members of the other two branches—or sitting members of Congress itself.
Imagine if SCOTUS could remove members of the other two branches?
Trump wouldn’t have last a second as POTUS.
I've read this argument before and I believe it came from Tracy Beanz in an article covered by UndercoverDC called "The Truth About the Brunson Case".
To me, this is all water on the bridge at this present time. The Brunson Case is 'Denied'*... meaning its dead in the water, ab initio.
Any of us may have disagreed with Tracy Beanz' assessment at the time and many may still disagree even after the SCOTUS ruling. There's really no sense in arguing the reason because we'll never know. SCOTUS gave us one word for the reason, 'Denied'. That one word tells us you and I are both right and both wrong. I'm moving on......
It is NOT dead in the water. There are other parts to this. Loy stated that he pretty much expected SCOTUS's response.
Denied means 'denied'. The "other parts to this" would have to be completely edited and resubmitted and go through the court process again.
