Roberts has forgotten more about kissing DC backsides than Comey ever knew. Rubber stamping Obamacare is his life insurance policy.

guess who Trump picks to take the seat?

If you are implying Cruz, fuggetaboutit. I don't want someone who doesn't know what a Natural Born Citizen is anywhere near the Supreme Court ever, but especially with Kamala Harris on the verge of running.

Impeach Roberts on what grounds? Why not put the effort into impeaching Ruth Buzzy G, Kagan or the wise latina?

* First need evidence on Roberts about being blackmailed by Obama on ACA.

* Cruz is too “political” to be on that court. Would be good, but the mostly fake oppo research would go crazy.

2020 might be better. Election season. After Thomas and Kennedy retire and are successfully replaced. Then when Ginsberg croaks Trump can throw them(Rats) a bone(er). Nominate that Merrick fella Hussein was enamored with. Remember: DIVERSITY IS A STRENGTH.

I was hoping when Gorsuch came to the bench that Trump would have made him chief justice, demoting Roberts.

Nothing wrong with Roberts...remember that he was 1 of 5 votes on Obamacare.....not a lone ranger.

I no longer have respect for Cruz since he jumped on the slop wagon of those condemning Roy Moore. Cruz charged, indicted, and sentenced Moore in the tainted court of public opinion (aka Court of Political Expediency). He is over and done with to me. He better be careful of skeletons in his closet. He who is without sin.....

You understand it takes 67 votes in the US Senate to remove a judge?

How many and which Democrat Senators do you predict will be needed to remove Roberts?

Roberts is not going to be impeached, what is this silliness?

Impeached for what? He made a decision we don’t like?

Dang, before impeaching Roberts, impeach Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan, and Kennedy.

Roberts is bad but not as bad as these guys.

BTW, what’s the constitutional standard for impeaching a Justice? Given that a Supreme Court Justice is an Officer of the United States, the constitutional standard for removal is “Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” (U.S. Const, art. II, sec. IV).

The Constitution defines treason as “levying War against [the United States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort” (art. III, sec. 3).

The Justices also have the requirement of “good behavior” (art. III, sec. 1) which hasn’t been very well defined.

Not sure any of our SCOTUS Justices have levied war against the United States, or given their enemies aid and comfort, or committed bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. But I think we’re missing the big picture here.

The big picture is that SCOTUS, the judicial branch, has somehow unconstitutionally been given legislative powers to make national law. However, the Constitution LIMITS the power and scope of SCOTUS decisions to the parties of INDIVIDUAL cases and controversies (art. III, sec. 2) and any other cases with the same questions of law and fact.

What is really needed is to reject all attempts to expand any SCOTUS decision beyond the parties of the specific case involved.

SCOTUS is, thus, constitutionally limited by,

1) if the SCOTUS decision is NOT based on sound constitutional reasoning, the decision should be rejected and ignored, or

2) if the SCOTUS decision IS based on sound constitutional reasoning, the power and scope of the decision is limited to the parties of the individual case at hand and any other cases with the same questions of law and fact.

Doing this, among other things, greatly reduces the harmful affect of unconstitutional SCOTUS decisions. It also puts the burden of correcting flawed laws where it belongs, on Congress, the legislative branch. The Constitution NEVER intended for SCOTUS to have the sweeping powers it has been given almost from the start. Constitutionally limiting the power and effect of SCOTUS also greatly lessens the need for removal for which there is usually little constitutional support

Let’s get back on track to the constitutional separation of powers and the recovery of our Free Constitutional Republic.

Just send Justices Roberts, Gingsberg, Kagan and Sotomyer to the same vacation spot where Justice Scalia took his last breath. One big win for the country!

This is about the dumbest thing I have read in a long time. Because he ruled against what some people wanted, that is grounds for impeachment? Good grief. That is not how it works and he will never be impeached nor should he unless he breaks the law.
