There isn’t a provision for impeaching or firing SCOTUS members.
I think KAGAN should be impeached for failure to recuse herself, but not until Romney can name her replacement.

A truly idiotic comment!
They’re impeachable for the same causes as any other official, plus one more: Immorality.
“There isnt a provision for impeaching or firing SCOTUS members.”
I think you’re misinformed?
From the constitution:
“The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior...]
Not a very high bar really. Removal would follow standard impeachment proceedings. For lower courts, the congress could eliminate them altogether, or reduce their jurisdictional reach at will. Providing the Senate and the President went along.
To be clear, I’m not advocating impeachment.
The fact is that Justice Roberts own incoherent rambling opinion, along with his known health problems and possible drug psychosis are more than enough reason to seek Impeachment.
Regardless of the actions of the Senate in conviction or acquittal, he would where the shame of impeachment throughout his life, and may possibly be brow beaten into resignation.
He has shown to be a cowardly twit. He will not stand up to the pressure and future justices that have decided to ignore the constitution would be but on notice.
Kagan should likewise be impeached for conflict of interest and Ginsbirgh for health reasons leading to incapacitation.
Trump up the charges and get it done right after the November election. The libs never hesitate to use bare knuckle tactics, we should start as well.
that is what I was thinking. Mark Levine, suggested if the court wants to be political, they should be given term limits.
Um, what about here?
Article II, Section 4
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
US Constitution.
Any judge is a civil officer, so yes, I think its theoretically possible, however politically improbable.
