As we watch these federal judges ignore the Constitution where it says in Article II, Section 1, Clause 1:
"The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America."
It's called the "vested clause." President Trump has every right to manage the executive branch of the federal government as he sees fit. Judges don't have the authority to overrule him.
So, we have members of Congress now who want to remove these judges by impeachment. That's all great and fine, but removal from office requires a super-majority in the Senate, as Article 1 Section 3 tells us:
"...no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present."
Any impeachment of these federal judges will be along part lines, I guarantee - and we don't have two-thirds in the Senate. These judges might be impeached, but not convicted and therefore not removed.
Which leaves it to the supreme court, and it isn't moving at all on these issues yet.
Which way will Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett go? Will two join the Constitution-ignoring liberals?
We get the government we allow. Here is the list of who is up for re-election in the Senate in 2026:
Democrats
Booker, Cory A. (D-NJ)
Coons, Christopher A. (D-DE)
Durbin, Richard J. (D-IL)
Hickenlooper, John W. (D-CO)
Lujan, Ben Ray (D-NM)

Merkley, Jeff (D-OR)
Ossoff, Jon (D-GA)
Peters, Gary C. (D-MI)
Reed, Jack (D-RI)
Shaheen, Jeanne (D-NH)
Smith, Tina (D-MN)
Warner, Mark R. (D-VA)
Republicans
Capito, Shelley Moore (R-WV)
Cassidy, Bill (R-LA)
Collins, Susan M. (R-ME)
Cornyn, John (R-TX)
Cotton, Tom (R-AR)
Daines, Steve (R-MT)

Graham, Lindsey (R-SC)
Hagerty, Bill (R-TN)
Hyde-Smith, Cindy (R-MS)
Lummis, Cynthia M. (R-WY)
Marshall, Roger (R-KS)
McConnell, Mitch (R-KY) (retirement announced)
Mullin, Markwayne (R-OK)
Ricketts, Pete (R-NE)
Risch, James E. (R-ID)
Rounds, Mike (R-SD)
Sullivan, Dan (R-AK)
Tillis, Thom (R-NC)
Tuberville, Tommy (R-AL)
Can we achieve a two-thirds majority? Possibly, but only if we replace every Democrat.
I like a good goal, don't you? Why not aim for the moon?
In a United States where there is no tax on tips, seniors have tax-free social security, an improved economy, and true border security nationwide, we can likely achieve more than we expect we could. The Democrats have no message and lose ground daily while fighting to continue waste, fraud, and abuse at your expense.
Let's go all in.

Best opportunity in years to flip Dem seats!
However, the TX Rep Chairs / STEC refusal to censure rogue politicians has really dampened the spirits of grassroots. Right or wrong, it’s true.
Speaking as a Texan, Cornyn should have been replaced years ago. (Spilled milk, I know) However, I think we have to find more Trump like mentality folks seeking to fill seats in both our Statehouse and D.C.. That being, true conservative Independently wealthy businesses owners who sacrifice for a time their place in the business world to correct the blatant mistakes of ego driven politicians. This is, after all, the intent of our founders as was seen in the early days of the forming of this great nation.
I know I'm being "captain obvious" here but consider it a plea to those who would answer the call of a deserving people for a government that reduced itself rather than reducing its people.
