§ 107. Now, with the exception of royal titles and the physical circumstances of marriage and birth of children, which give a local coloring to the doctrine of legitimacy in Europe, it is applicable, in similar terms and for the same reasons, in the United States. It is true here, as there, that, to be lawful or legitimate, successive forms of government must be the offspring, regularly and lawfully begotten, the later of the earlier. They must be developed, one out of the other, after the order of Nature in the genesis and growth of her organic products. A system of government, in other words, having been established, it must itself govern, as well in the matter of reproducing or repairing itself as in that of protecting itself and its subordinate members from the operation of harmful agencies without. A government, once founded, is the people, as organized for the attainment of the ends of government.
A Supreme Court justice may be removed if impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate. Shirking their responsibility in deciding such a deep-rooted Constitutional issue such as this can be shown to be an impeachable offense. It is, after all, their job they avoid. Perhaps it is time to push on these decision makers. They are vulnerable, and the grass roots have shown their strength this November.
Which 67 US Senators are going to vote to remove any Supreme Court Justice who is sitting on the current high court bench? Which 11 Democrats are going to join with the Republican conservatives and which Republican RINOs in the Senate are going to vote to remove any Supreme Court justice?
A Supreme Court justice cannot and will not be impeached for anything other than a “high crime or a misdemeanor”.
Failure to act on a judicial decision or voting the “wrong” way on a judicial decision does not constitute a high crime nor a misdemeanor.
Only one Supreme Court Justice in US history has ever been impeached, Samuel Chase in 1805. He was acquitted by a wide margin in his Senate trial.
Your points are well taken. Perhaps the time is not yet ripe to pressure the SCOTUS. Mea Culpa. My commentary stems from frustration as the SCOTUS willfully chooses to do what is easy, rather than risk adjudicating against a popular political figure who just happens to be ineligible for the seat to which he was elected. I must work to temper my own frustration. I would point out, however, that democrats have twenty Senate seats up for re-election in 2014. We have more sway with them than we generally consider. In many ways, I believe we have a virtual majority in the Senate should the RINOs put on their big-boy.
