Got out ahead of
Hi teachers,
The Warren court desegregated the schools, protected free speech, safeguarded the rights of criminally accused, and generally got out of the voting public in the 1950s and '60s. It moved so far that IMPEACH EARL WARREN bumper stickers became familiar in the more conservative parts of the country.
1. What is " got out of the voting public "?
2. Does voting public refer to the public who voted?
3. Why is impeach a verb used before the judge which is a noun and why uppercaps are needed?
Thanks

It's something like a race. There is movement in a certain direction.
The question is, should the court and the public stay abreast of each other? (keep apace)
This of course is a matter of opinion.
Some people may feel, for example, that the President should lead and the public should follow; while the Supreme Court and the Congress should always reflect the current will o
