Nobody is arguing that judges can’t be impeached. Just that they can’t be peached because Newt or some others disagree with the Judges’ rulings.
Newt outlined in the white papers the procedures used. Judges cannot write laws and judges cannot rule outside the constitution. They do and we all know many should be impeached. Our founders never intended to give the federal judges a dictatorship.
It would not be Newt or the president alone that would make the decision to impeach. There is a procedure that has to be followed.
Yes they can be impeached if the President and Congress can agree, and on the grounds that the Court has tried to make a law or to add to the constitution. Which it did in Roe v. Wade. If the House had rejected its reasoning and agreed with Byron White that it was a “raw exercise of judicial authority,” —a reach—and if two thirds of the Senate agree with them, then the judges could be removed from office. Of course, the country would have been support this action, by something close to a consensus. The problem was that the consensus of the elite class supported the Court, and the House and Senate were part of that elite. Never mind what the ordinary voters thought. Even those members of the elite who condemned the court’s decision have long been conditioned to accept ruling of the Court and to think of critics of the Court has loonies.
