The way the 14A Section 3 is written, it seems to include SCOTUS. They swear an oath to defend the Constitution like other federal officers. If Thomas provided aid and comfort to insurrectionists, then he could be removed and disqualified from holding office again. No need for impeachment.

True and well-spotted.
Agreed.
As we are noting dramatically different existing conditions, FDR and those Dems did not have to contend with the pervasive dominance of news/public/social media saturation praising and encouraging bad-faith action. I regard that media saturation as the ideal turnkey operation to get even turkeys to vote for their own Thanksgiving dinner, given enough time to insert effective actors (or agents) into that system (as well as in government, of course).

Back on topic.
Having SCOTUS nominees prevaricate their way through their confirmation process by saying something is settled law, then overturning that law as a sitting SCOTUS justice, is a red flag.
A buncha red flags.
A hectare of red flags.
I get it that not all SCOTUS justices are/were angels:
To name but a few:

But getting an esteemed seat as a U.S. Supreme Court Justice on the highest high bench, the last possible stop on the long road toward justice and accountability, ought to count for something. Oh how wrong I was to believe so.
