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.

This is their latest “look over here” at this injustice. The Trayvon lie is dieing down so they must invent a new straw man.

Or simply abject stupidity.

Or both...

You've got it. An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House and two thirds of the Senate can agree upon. It's unreviewable by any court. (However, the penalty is limited to removal from office, the founders having remembered Charles I.)

None of this nonsense about high crimes and misdemeanors. Although bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia ought certainly qualify as the former!

I don’t think there is any way to impeach a Supreme Court justice based on a decision, only for criminal acts. Good luck proving that! Having said that though, I wouldn’t mind Bader-Ginsburg, Kagan, or the Unwise Latina - or all three! - being impeached!
