The Supreme Court has a rule ... it will not hear any case for impeachment unless both branches of government the House and the Senate agree and come together asking for impeachment.

Totally untrue. The courts have nothing to do with impeachment other than the Chief Justice presiding over the trial in the Senate. Impeachment is a political process, not a legal process. The House brings charges by a majority vote, which is the actual act of impeachment. The Senate holds the trial, and it takes a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict and remove.

Where do you come up with this stuff?

Sorry, forgot my source. However the Supreme Court accepts and refuses cases constantly and the information was it is their method to refuse a case for impeachment, unless both the Senate and the House agree on requesting impeachment.

Do not cast the idea out. the SC makes their decisions and we are not privy to all the details.

We know the Senate/Harry Reed would not agree to such an effort. There has to be a reason why all this unconstitutional activity by the President goes unchallenged. It was a radio report saying that is the way the Supreme Court accepts or rejects cases currently.

Impeachment is the way to stop some of this illegal actions. It is not happening nor is there outrage for it.

God help America to return America to our Faith and values, in Jesus name amen.
