A point of clarification: Biden pardoned his son because he was a three time convicted felon. Certainly not because of fears of Trump: he was convicted of these federal felonies while Biden was in office.

And unjust judges must be taken down by the people en masse. It is indeed our civic responsibility. But this particular case isn’t requiring anything extreme: the people are simply being encouraged to vote. This is actually among the most democratic of any judicial nomination process. Now, I’m guessing there’s some Iranian “Supreme Leader”-style vetting of the candidates; the ruling elite almost never give the people any actual power, but still. Upper echelons of democracy no doubt, hardly damaging democracy in any way.
