That's why I'm a staunch advocate of abolishing judicial review.

I disagree. I think judicial review is a fine principle, but we must remember that impeachment is as well. This judge clearly overstepped - by leaps and bounds - his judicial authority, and ought to be impeached for it.

I disagree. Judicial review is basically giving ONE man the right to strike down laws on a whim. We don't give any elected official in our constitutional system of government that kind of unchecked power. Why should judges be a law unto themselves?

Why bother? Some other judge will just rule the impeachment unconstitutional.
