MODERATORS
The only thing Congress is needed for is to impeach and remove him. And since we know the chances of that happening are exactly zero, that makes them completely useless.
SC judges aren't immune to the law. The DOJ absolutely can investigate, arrest, and charge him just like they can any other citizen. Now, I'm not saying they will; I'm just saying they can. And if they had anything resembling balls, they would, and then Congress can then decide if they want a Supreme Court judge making rulings from inside a jail cell.
But this is the Merrick Garland DOJ, which means he's too afraid to mention Thomas' name, let alone investigate him. And we all know Congress ain't doing squat.
If he was found guilty of a crime, couldn't he then be removed from office? The Constitution says that they "shall hold their Office during Good Behavior". Surely being convicted of a crime would be the opposite of "Good Behavior" and disqualify them from office.
