It's time for gloves-off, ruthless escalation.
In the words of advice from Jim Malone, the beat cop in Brian de Palma's 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙐𝙣𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨, to Eliot Ness, "He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue."
They stack the House delegation, we nuke the State 'Supremo Crime Family'.
And - oh yes - that's what we call the ousted judges. Along with the six fascists on the US Supreme Court.
