    Why not oust all of them? Unanimous.

    ironic, because the only thing vander plaat's jackass group is against is 'freedom'.

    Only three are up for a retention vote this year. I'm sure BVP would love to take down all of them this year if he could.

    This whole 'issue' is crazy. The complete lack of respect and understanding of the purpose of the Supreme Court is unbelievable. Judges are usually re-elected with ~80% of the vote anyways, and I don't think all that many people care enough to put them in much danger of getting kicked out. BVP is still upset he didn't win the GOP nomination for governor, knew he couldn't win as a third party candidate, and just wants to keep himself in the news.

    I’d be surprised if even 5% of the population could name a single justice.
