Will you be impeaching the 11th Circuit en banc when they overturn the Cobb Coutny ruling as well. Or jailing them?

There's no precedent, AFAIK, for impeaching judges for anything other that flat-out corruption.

I'm old enough to remember "Impeach Earl Warren" signs after the Brown decision came down. That would have been wrong, IMO the Court was overturning Plessey for good, Constitutional reasons.

However, the "reasoning" in Roe (emanations and penumbras?! I just love all that French/Latin jargon!) is so awful I think Congress should have intervened; there are a number of things they could have done, but all you ever hear about is pushing a Constitutional amendment which (wink wink nudge nudge) would never get by 3/4 of the States.

But as for your question, no I wouldn't support removing the 11th circuit judges that rule in favor of stickers, and as I said above, Congress has never removed judges for bad rulings. It's not quite as blatant a violation of law as telling students that "Pandas" is a supplemental *biology* text.

Impeaching the Cobb Co. School Board is up to the Ga. Legislature. If I were in it, I'd certainly introduce articles.

I remember President Ford said something to the effect that "a high crime is whatever the House says it is".
