Newsweek Calls For Impeaching Supreme Court Justices If Obamacare Overturned

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. [...]

I am thinking one, maybe two LIBERAL justices should have recused from this case.

Impeach THEM!

Yes my FRiend

I am very much afraid your correct. Soon there will come a time that they give us no choice but to react.

Stay alert and aware.

For you are the defenders of the Republic

[chris_bdba]

Well I agree Kagan and Sotomayer both need to go!

[GeronL]

Obama is the one who should be impeached. There is absolutely nothing Constitutional about Obamacare.

[BluH2o]

Newsweek? Didn't they go out of business?
Also read somewhere they were bought for $1.00 ...

[GeronL]

There are three females if you count Darth Vader Ginsburg who disses our Constitution in foreign countries.

Replacing just two justices (with Roberts and Alito) has flipped the two sides positions on this.
Many Conservatives used to talk like this while Dems and MSM would say that ANY criticism of the courts undermines law. That was as late as 2004.

Well Republicans should play this up just as Dems used to, like : ‘Obama, Dems and liberals are showing contempt for the LAW and inciting civil war.’
Remember how they called us crazy, dangerous, out of control. all for protesting peacefully and legally? Time for payback.

I always say return fire with fire.

[bramps]

We just may be past the point of no return.

[Irish Eyes]

Newsweek is so done. Is Newsweek even relevant anymore?

[Deagle]

Can we just Impeach Newsweek instead?

[Trod Upon]

That’s about what would you would expect from the organization purchased in 2010 for the princely sum of one Dollar. $1.00!

[Eldon Tyrell]

On the plus side - it appears we know how the vote went last week.

Been non -stop assault of the Supreemes since Friday.

[citizencon]

With Obama-fanatic Tina Brown at the helm, Newsweek is practically and proudly an Obama fan club newsletter.

[RobbyS]

Reid took out severability thinking that the legislation would become popular. It didn’t happen.

[jack_napier]

“The problem with the current court is not merely that there is a good chance it will strike down a clearly constitutional law.”

If it was clearly constitutional it wouldn’t be before SCOTUS you dolt.

[KoRn]

Looks like the vote has leaked, this monster is going down, and they are ANGRY.

[RobbyS]

No.

[RobbyS]

If there has been a leak, the Chief is not going to be pleased. Some clerk is going to find his future curtailed.

[okie01]

Irresponsible behavior, if you ask me.

Or simply abject stupidity.

Or both...
