Ok...I have another question.😁 Who or what oversees all

these different circuit court

judges for their impartiality

in decisions while serving?

Some are just so blatantly

out of line, it's hard to believe

we have no one to complain

to but each other. The 5th

circuit is a disgrace.

Decisions get appealed until they reach the supreme court or the supreme court declines to take the case. No one oversees the supreme court, other than that a future administration could just ignore its rulings (which the next Republican administration will do as soon as it gets a ruling it doesn't like). If this system sounds broken to you you're right.

sad but true. If the Extremes correctly decide that there is no immunity for doing things outside the official duties of the president, I suspect he will then (if he wins) try to dissolve the court. Or maybe seize the justices' assets to pay for the attorney fees he had to spend. So long, Thomasian motor home.

Typical authoritarian moves.
