    I make an assumption, admittedly, that a Congress of integrity and patriotism would use their impeachment power to rid the judicial system of such obvious corruption and unethical behavior.

    We have no such Congress – which is my entire point.

      I’ll be honest, I don’t see how term limits or removing Citizens United suddenly leads to a Republican party of integrity and Patriotism?

      I mean it’s not like the Republicans lack enough people to rotate through terms, and a lot of their funding goes through think tanks and “independent” news corporations, to say nothing of the fact that their were Republican majorities before the Citizens United ruling, so I don’t see either effecting the number of Republicans in Congress much nor their ability to overlook the justices they appointed going about unethical stuff in order to further the Congressional majority’s own goals.
