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.

If Supreme Court justices are impeached and removed, it is Barack Hussein Obama who gets to appoint their replacements between now and January of 2013. Obama already has appointed and had confirmed Sotomayor and Kagan.

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.
