“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.

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

If they dump the Affordable Care Act, writes David Dow, we should dump them.

Does this clown Dow have any thoughts as to how Jefferson might have reacted to the way the "Affordable Health Care Act" was NOT written by Congress, was NOT read by a single member of Congress, and WAS passed behind locked doors in the dark of night?

If I had ever heard of this clown, I would waste the time finding the answer to that one in Jefferson's own words.

Oh, the irony. “Obamacare” is a perfect example of the liberals undermining the Constitution. It’s something that they’ve been up to for the last one hundred years.

Impeachment will be for “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” and Judges remain in office “during good behavior”.

There is no provision in the Constitution for removing Judges whose opinion (in the Majority) you disagree with.

Five of Nine SCOTUS Judges could not constitutionally be impeached because Congress disagrees with their decision.

1. It is an election year - NO ONE in the House is going to vote in a majority for Articles of Impeachment. ‘Specially as the GOP holds the House AND something like 70% of the American Public WANT the law overturned ...

2. Even IF the House voted for Articles of Impeachment - there are only 53 DEMs in the Senate - and something like 23 of them are up for election this year. AGAIN, with something like 70% of the American Public AGAINST the law - these 23 Senators AREN’T going to take any chance of being 86’d out of office by convicting ...

Boy, if the author is going to make an argument for impeaching Supreme Court justices based on historical precedent, the author should at least get the names of the historical figures correct. Salmon Chase was appointed to the Supreme Court by Abraham Lincoln. Samuel Chase was the justice that Jefferson went after.

I call for everyone at Newsweak to be fired.

[goat granny]

Yep, impeach the ones that voted for the monstrosity...

[harpu]

I gaurantee the conservative opinion (win or lose) on this decision will be ‘historical.’

This is why I do not read Newsweek.

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

I’d think that if the court strikes down the law then it was not “clearly consititutional” and instead is clearly unconstitutional.

[liberalh8ter]

I assume Newsweek will be in full support of the next GOP President, Congress and Senate impeaching Kagan for her refusal to recuse and Sotomayor for her blatant display of basic law?

[SuziQ]

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.

It's not the conservative justices who would be in danger from Jefferson, but the LIBERAL ones.

Oh, I see that News-weak has finally completed its race to have the most illiterate, unintelligent, and unknowledgeable reporting and editorial staff in the world.

Great going, guys!

Too bad that when you marxists and leftists dumbed down our schools, you did it to the journalist institutes of learning as well, ha ha.

That pesky law of unintended consequences can really bite you in the butt sometimes.
