Begin impeachment proceedings against every federal judge and Supreme Court justice who has ever been a member of the Federalist Society or endorsed Unitary Executive Theory — including the six justices in the Trump v. United States majority. This is a constitutional remedy the framers built into Article III precisely for this moment.
Unitary Executive Theory is not originalism. It is a political doctrine invented in Reagan's DOJ after 1981, with no serious historical foundation. Alexander Hamilton's Federalist 77 suggested Senate consent extended to removals. The first Congress built independent structures into the executive branch from the start. Humphrey's Executor upheld for-cause removal protections for 90 years. Scholars Jed Shugerman, Jane Manners, and Lev Menand have documented how thin the historical case actually is. The full argument is laid out here: https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/the-case-for-impeaching-and-removing
The partisan pattern is in the record. In Biden v. Nebraska (2023), the same six-justice majority ruled that congressional silence limited Democratic executive power. Thirteen months later in Trump v. United States (2024), constitutional silence expanded Republican executive power. That is not jurisprudence. It violates the judicial oath under 28 U.S.C. Section 453 to administer justice "without respect to persons." Start the proceedings now.
