Supreme Court Justices can also be impeached and kicked out of office.

They are not untouchables.

It is so unfortunate that as opposed to what our Framers believed, a judge has to commit a felony before impeachment is considered.

There is a campaign to remove three Iowa state supreme court justices who recently imposed homo marriage on an unwilling public. It is important that they be removed by voters in November, for it will be a message read by black robes nationwide.

Associate Justice James Wilson 1789-1798: "Impeachments are confined to political characters, to political crimes and misdemeanors, and to political punishments."

SCOTUS Justices are virtually untouchable IMHO.

No member of congress has the cajones to take on a sitting Supreme, much less getting a majority in the House to impeach and 2/3 of the Senate to convict.

What if the Judge that was impeached is the Chief Justice, who presides over the Senate proceedings? Hmmm......
