    It doesn’t matter what he says. It would just be actionless criticism.

    POTUS oversees the Executive Branch, not the Legislative Branch. He can’t remove a Justice. He can’t even seat one without a vacancy and congressional approval. Only Congress can try a Justice for impeachment. The last time that happened was 1805, and the Justice remained seated until his death.

    This article is throwing tons of shade for not expanding SCOTUS, like it’s the wave of the President’s magic wand. That also requires approval from Congress. There’s been a stalled bill in the House for over a year.

    I expect ignorant President finger-pointing from the average citizen, but I’m terribly disappointed in the ignorance of that article from Politico.
