Newsweek Calls For Impeaching Supreme Court Justices If Obamacare Overturned
Pat Dollard ^ | 4/3/12 | NewsWeek/DailyBeast

NewsWeek/DailyBeast – The Roberts Court’s rulings appear to be a concerted effort to send us back to the Gilded Age. If they dump the Affordable Care Act, writes David Dow, we should dump them.

You think the idea is laughable? Thomas Jefferson disagreed with you.

Jefferson believed Supreme Court justices who undermine the principles of the Constitution ought to be impeached, and that wasn’t just idle talk. During his presidency, Jefferson led the effort to oust Justice Salmon Chase, arguing that Chase was improperly seizing power. The Senate acquitted Chase in 1805, and no Justice has been impeached since, but as the Supreme Court threatens to nullify the health-care law, Jefferson’s idea is worth revisiting.

The problem with the current court is not merely that there is a good chance it will strike down a clearly constitutional law. The problem is that this decision would be the latest salvo in what seems to be a sustained effort on the part of the Roberts Court to return the country to the Gilded Age. [...]

Like their boy, Barack Hussein Obama, the commies at Newsweek are just itching for a civil war in this country. Probably in hopes that a civil war would boost their subscription numbers out of the toilet.

If they want to believe the law is constitutional, let them.

If they think there are enough votes in Congress to impeach anyone for their vote on Obamacare, they are nuts.

I’m ignorant here, but it seems to me that Impeachment Articles would need to be passed by the House so the Senate could sit in judgment.

I’m thinking the writers here are just tossing trial balloons in the air, trying to keep people upset and off-balance because even if the Justices upheld Obamacare, no one in the House is going to bring forward Articles against any, some or all of them.

Just another article designed to add to the noise and increase the tention. Irresponsible behavior, if you ask me.

they deliberately took out the sever-ability clause knowing it’d get tossed by the SCOTUS ... then they could use it to fuel the fire going into the summer

occu-tards

black racists rioting against whites for a hispanic shooting a black man in self defense

and now there will be riots by all those freeloaders that wanted healthcare for free (free to them, at least)

Hey Pat, it remains to be proven that it IS a
constitutional law, that will be done by the
highest court in the land.

Impeach all the liberals who do not believe in or support the Constitution, but believe that the sheople rule themselves. oBa-a-a-a-a-a-amma-a-a-a-a-a-a speaks for them.
