I agree with this guy's sentiment, but it won't happen. Remember that the legislature sided with the courts. They could have passed a law that stopped the Schiavo execution in its tracks, but instead they passed a law which did nothing, and which they knew would be declared unconstitutional. Now the guys who voted to let her die are going to impeach the judges who also did it? Don't think so.
Another important point is that here in Fla., our judges are subject to retentiona elections. So it was the voters who put these guys on the bench, and of course, the legislature is not likely to impeach judges who can be thrown out by the voters anyway.
We need Congressman who will vote for conservative judges, and who will hold the judiciary's feet to the fire. We need civil disobedience.
That leaves only the seventh. The People. Us. Each individually.
If we fail to acknowledge, lament, and correct for this murder -- what then? What divine mercy or patience could then be left for our nation?
Can you say: "Not Politically Correct?"
Well golly... I kinda sorta figured maybe you could...
Just goes to show that GeekDejure will never out-think Brilliant, eh? !!! ;-))
.
Don't forget that those judges on U.S. Circuit Courts and state Surpreme Courts usually began as a judge in a local county court. We need to pay close attention to those we elect at home. Usually people have no idea who they are actually voting for in judicial elections. Since their positions are supposed to be apolitical, it's hard to know where they stand on anything. And it's very expensive for someone to run for judge so of course they solicit donations from who? Other lawyers, of course. It goes downhill from there.
There is one simple reason why this won't happen: almost all the people in Congress are lawyers. The judges were lawyers. Rats stick together (apologies to the 1%) and useful rats out there.
Are you having a defeatist attitude? Civil disobedience can be done imo without having a protest march or large number of people show up.
When the phone lines in D.C. get flooded with so many calls that the can't work anymore and their servers shut down from too many emails coming in it sends a clear signal.
I've even heard people say they won't vote because they're just one person and it won't make a difference whether they vote.
One woman got prayer taken out of schools and if every person who says they don't think the judges will be impeached will actually write or call, email all their buddies asking them to do the same it won't take long to get the message through.
We elected a Republican Congress and they need to be reminded they are our voice there, if our voice says impeach they'll move. Even the worst of them pay attention to which way the wind blows!
Oops forgot to mention that Rep Dave Simmons said he'll consider impeaching Judge Greer.

Excuse me .. we don't care what the FL legislature did or didn't do - it's now in the hands of CONGRESS - and I believe Tom DeLay is going to really shake up the place .. if not .. why else would the dems collude to attack him.
They believe they can totally discredit him and keep the public from siding with him regarding the judges.
It will not work .. we are with Tom because he understands that Congress has the authority to bring impeachment charges .. and I believe Tom will!
