Talk directly to your local representative. If you are a real person in their area you can change opinions, make your voice heard.
QuitLookinAtMineAim
Just a few more and we can send a real nasty letter and then...nothing. Signing petitions does nothing.
xenocrisis0153
Just signed it. They're up to 827,000 signatures now, but they moved the goal posts back to 900,000. Dafuq?
backoffman
1) he’s insane, 2) he’s too old to understand the internet, 3) judges don’t resign due to internet petitions
ChickenFingerFingers
Yeah, online votes are going to save us. It'll be violence, unfortunately, because they can ignore and gerrymand the rest.
Furiou5
It doesn't matter how many signatures are on a petition; it takes 2/3rds of the house voting for impeachment. Flip some seats blue.
alex5775
Oh yay a petition, because they clearly care about the will of the majority
iimplodethings
It takes 67 votes to remove him but only 51 to expand the court
MyBedroomIsSiberia
Like okay, but Alito is really who we should be worrying about
ToSisPoS
And remember petitions don’t do squat. Vote, and write to you elected officials.
Mymothersdaughter4ever8888
Thank you signed and shared!

at some point things are going to have to get violent. being unrepresented and all
ifteguy2
An unfortunate truth that many aren't willing to accept.
tr26
Online petitions are worth exactly as much as the effort put into them - almost zero.
YourMomWasHere
In the UK the govt actually responds to them and debates them sometimes. Depends on how popular they are.
dandanthedrywallman
But you’ll be on email lists forever, so win?
PirateArrrgument
Signed.
WaywardAF
Signing is fine, but voting is better. PLEASE go out and vote! Local elections is where most of the scum we have got started.
HissyElliott
Yes, voting is better absolutely. Also calling your representative https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm

Signed.
SlightlyDodgy
More hope of a revolution, or a civil war splitting the states in to 2 separate entities.
unluckyandbored
If it makes you feel better sign it. Won't do a god-fucking-damned thing, but sure why not.

Hearing a lot of naysaying about the efficacy of petitions, but even if it doesn't compel action it doesn't hurt to let the fucker 1/2
RedLetterMediaReactionGifs
know you hate the shit out of him. 2/2
itsthevoiceman
And that doesn't do anything either.
alex5775
Doesn't help either though, they are apathetic to it
sylkysmooth
Assuming they ever even see it, which they very likely won't.
FerbIsMySpiritAnimal
Yeah man don't listen to the haters. This can be one small pebble. So long as we don't make this our only action I am for it.
CuddleTank
That's the problem though. People do shit like this and think they've helped in some way. This is "thoughts and prayers" after a shooting.
FirstLegionOfTerra
800,000 Signatures do nothing. 800,000 people rushing the court house? Lots.
hoehandleharry20500
With ropes, zipties, and our own gallows? Like on Jan 6th? With almost nobody getting more that 3 days in jail? Like that ?
ensensu
Does the success depend on how many police officers join in the riot?
hoehandleharry20500
Hmmm. I'm not sold on too many good cops, but they're not all bad
FirstLegionOfTerra
Except we follow through instead of just walk around and take pictures.
Carlillo
DaffydeDick
Impeaching him doesn't remove him from SCOTUS, it's the first and last step. The Senate must convict which won't happen. >
DaffydeDick
If they do convict it takes 2/3rds of Congress to vote YAY on removal.
BenderSaysNeat
This could have 4 billion signatures and it would still never happen.
AdamGenesis
Waste of time. You'll need Senate approval ... not gonna happen.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
What about adding the people who lied under oath at their confirmation hearings?
PervertedTango
That's no reason to not try, though. It's exactly bacause of this kind of thinking that nothing happens.
FuzzyX
At that point it would be easier to just drag him from his house and kick him out of the country.
bigdinger81
I think the dragging from his house part is a good start, but if he leaves it should be in a box

MrRandom314159
Call then. Don't just give your email address.
MrRandom314159
And be polite.
bigdinger81
Yeah, mostly because that's not how it works
imgjim
Correct. He needs to die quietly of natural causes. Someone here must know something to help that process along, it's not signatures online
1morebanforafreeshake
Better than sticking my thumb up my ass
CuddleTank
No, it's not. Feeling anything positive about signing about signing this is intellectual dishonesty of the highest order.

SunBrolem
Not really.
godzilladc
Is it really, though?
VolkiirKnight
Yes, yes it is
Mediathug
I seriously need this place to survive
sylkysmooth
Not really, because you might milk something out of that, this is like a change.org petition and we all know how little impact those have
1morebanforafreeshake
That’s the difference. I’d rather take any chance in the dark than not do anything at all.
simplefishy
Change is worse as they make it look like a donation to the cause but it’s actually to themselves
MrNardtastic
It would have 1 more if signing it didn't sign me up to receive emails I neither need nor want. Oh well.
ministerofheresy
It's always about the emails!
cropduster5000
Just fill in a fake [email protected]
WeAreStevo
I opted out and it recorded my signature just fine
coffeeandprozac
You can unsub any time, and it's not that difficult. Minor inconvenience for a possibility of better is a cheap price to pay.
Arob393
Not worth it for something that means nothing
xlr82xs
But everyone knows if you get enough signatures you can put them on double secret ultimate probation ...
ifteguy2
So just accept it and then unsubscribe or block the address.
IsolatedAsshole
You can chose to not receive emails from them. The checkbox is quite visible.

This is brilliant. Thank you!

So not getting junk email is enough to stop you from having a voice in important American matters? That's a weak excuse.
RedLetterMediaReactionGifs
It's 2022. Get a damn burner email account for this shit.
GodTurkey
Takes like 5 minutes tops
YangKoete
Tons of accounts need a phone number now.
FishieStardust
Shit this imgur account is on a burner email
BradBehavior
I have 6. And I've had them for at least a decade at this point.
SupposablyPersnickity
Can that actually happen?
SomeDetroitGuy
It is unlikely. Unlike Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Coney Bryant, Thomas hasn't committed any actual crimes. (The rest lied under oath).
fformulaa
Yes, it's the same process as impeaching a president. So, only through congress
jiynxed
Theoretically
NoodlesWthADHD
It requires a 2/3 vote from Congress. So no
stepbill11
"Yes"
ChaosPersonified
A Supreme Court Justice can be impeached, however it's unlikely to end in their removal from the court given who votes on it.
CelestialSea
Wild card is cowardice of the GQP. If they truly get their asses handed to them at the mid-terms they might reconsider to save themselves.
FetaForMoses
Who?
KuldFyt
The US Senate. Requires 2/3 majority.
ChaosPersonified
ThereAreCrocodiles
The Senate, needs two-thirds of the vote. Has never actually happened though.
IllegalAlienFromOuterSpace
Well, we never imagined that a sitting president would be impeached twice and that there would be a coup attempt. But here we are.
PangolinBan
Abe Fortas had to pull a Nixon to avoid it, so it came as close as it can get without actually happening. You're still correct though.
mksu
It's the same process as impeaching a president, so no.
RetrogradeLlama
It can. It won't.
Schmapplesauce
No, but if millions of people sign a petition it's sure to hit the newspapers, proving widespread discontent and bolstering those sentiments
RetrogradeLlama
I'd hope it would help, but it won't. Senate Repubs don't care about morals, principles, hypocrisy, or shame. They revel in it.
HissyElliott
I just know that move on.org is legit and it probably does more than posting "RESIGN" to imgur over and over again
triptolemus510

IAmNotNSAsodonotbeparanoid
No it doesn’t!
CBadger
Nah man, MoveOn isn't legit. It has no power to do anything...
gordonsbeard
It don't :(
sylkysmooth
It might make you feel better than posting it over and over but that's it, the administration will ignore it just like change.org petitions.
Like2Fox
It's just an outlet so people feel like they're doing something. Nothing happens as an outcome, ever
LuftMeister
Being led to believe you’re doing something while not actually doing something is hurtful to the outcome.
Like2Fox
This guy gets it
Othernate
Sometimes the white house acknowledges it, tho. Didn't Obama address the death star one?
Othernate
(No it's not impeachment but it does reach a point where they *do* see it.)
Idontneedrealfacts
Thats no deathstar in the sky, its a moon!
sylkysmooth
Sorta, it did back on the WH's own site 'we the people', only the Obama admin promised to look into stuff on there, Trump got rid of it. >
sylkysmooth
> so now the WH doesn't have it and petitions have become totally ignored just like before.
