Chief Justice Rehnquist said in his report on Friday that it had been clear since early in the country's history that "a judge's judicial acts may not serve as a basis for impeachment."

With all due deference to the octogenarian megalomaniac, perhaps not.
But indifference to his oath of office certainly qualifies!

The Constitution of the United States is not, I certainly pray, subject to foreign interpretation, and any suggestion that it is, or should be, for me constitutes as much of a high crime and misdemeanor as one could imagine: what could be worse?

As for the "treaties" issue. Unratified treaties are clearly meaningless. Ratified treaties are also meaningless if its ultimate terms can be determined by a foreign power or a collection of foreign powers.

Any argument to the contrary, in my opinion, is subject to the ultimate argument: removal from office by means of force of arms, if necessary.

Great line. Wish I could figure out a way to work it into a SCOTUS brief without getting disbarred....
