The Supreme Court could easily retaliate against Obama by entertaining a challenge to his ‘qualifications’ to be President.

Nobody is impeaching anyone. Nor are they going to pass any “fix” or revamped version of Obamacare.

If the Supremes toss it out this issue will be D-E-A-D until the next time the Dems get super-duper majorities in both houses (which will hopefully be never)

“The problem with the current court is not merely that there is a good chance it will strike down a clearly constitutional law. “

I quit reading here. Such a statement shows he has zero understanding of the Constitution.

What really burns me up about this article is how pretentious and knowledgeable he tries to sound...but he doesn’t even know that Jefferson tried to impeach Samuel Chase. Salmon Chase was Lincoln’s Secretary of Treasury. Pompous buffoon!

Jefferson believed Supreme Court justices who undermine the principles of the Constitution ought to be impeached

The writer is a driveling dork, but I think he's onto something here. . .

Got this far...

The problem with the current court is not merely that there is a good chance it will strike down a clearly constitutional law.

...before I realized the author is clearly FOS.

Another silly attempt to bob and weave around the Constitution. Do you see them discussion whether the Federal Gov’t has this power? No. They dance around non-sequitors.

The car insurance canard. Yes, the mandate requires all people to pay, you don't have to have car insurance unless you want to drive. Good analogy. However, they still miss the point that the insurance requirements are a STATE level obligation - not a federal mandate. Pretty big distinction.

The second nonsense about requiring hospitals to treat everyone as the basis for mandate is another distraction.

I can't begin to address the core issues as well as the “unelected” justices did in their blistering examination of the brilliant Solicitor General. It is obvious the law should be reversed in total.

It won't, of course. I don't believe Robert's has the cajones to reverse this law.

I think Obama knows this and is ratcheting up the pressure, no matter how shrill it makes the One look. Stephens will concur with a 5-4 upholding the law. Then the left will love the Court again!

Did anyone inform this dumkopf, this trottel that the GOP controls the House and will probably regain control of the senate this Fall? And even were that not the case, can anyone here imagine a scenario where FIVE justices were impeached at the same time?!

Oh please open up that can of whoop a$$. The unelected judiciary, especially the 9th Circus court, is all that has pushed the liberal agenda for decades. Over and over again conservative laws pass with massive majorities only to be struck down by the courts. Set the precedent that we can start taking out Federal judges and this country will turn right in a heartbeat. Just like the recalls the GOP did in California that are biting us now in Wisconsin this can backfire on the libs big time. Be careful what you wish for libs. You just might get it.

Nowhere in the Constitution did it grant Congress the power to mandate anybody buy anything. And Jefferson once said something to the effect “If the government were to direct us
to plant wheat we should soon want for bread.” and elsewhere Jefferson said “to compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” IMO if the supreme Court FAILS to nullify ObamaCare they will have failed to honor their Oath of Office and ought be impeached.Obama’s health care reform is UNconstitutional root and stock.

Talk about red herrings. This article is arguing the court wants to return the country to the Gilded age, and seems to contribute all the problems of the "Gilded Age" to the Supreme court, but I see no evidence of that. "The problem is that this decision would be the latest salvo in what seems to be a sustained effort on the part of the Roberts Court to return the country to the Gilded Age."

"At the close of the Gilded Age, the U.S. infant mortality rate was around 10 percent—a number you find today in impoverished Central African nations. "

Which was the lowest infant mortality rate in U.S. history. It's completely unfair to compare a rate then to current rates, and what does that have to do with the court anyway. Besides you want a fair comparison, include abortion in the infant mortality rates. Is the court trying to raise the infant mortality rate? No. A red herring.

"Women could not vote, and their lives were controlled by men."

Again, That wasn't due to the court in the Gilded age, that was due to the founding fathers and all of western history that preceded them. Is the court trying to take away women's right to vote. No. A red herring.

"Blacks lived apart from whites and comprised an economic, social, and political underclass."

Again, what does that have to do with this court or the court in the Gilded Age. Nothing. A red herring.

"Corporations exerted an unchecked and deleterious influence on the lives of workers."

This is the only thing that the current court has actually touched on. And since the article doesn't expound on how times might be similar or what the court did or didn't do, it's a worthless article.

RE :”We might amend the Constitution to establish judicial term limits. Or we might increase the number of justices to dilute the influence of its current members (though FDR could tell you how that turned out). In the end, however, it is the duty of the people to protect the Constitution from the court. Social progress cannot be held hostage by five unelected men.

HA_HA, Mark Levin recommended some of those things in 2005 before the GWB appointees to the SCOTUS. The roles have flipped completely.

How about impeaching members of congress and the president for not upholding the constitution they’ve sworn to protect?

The constitution trumps federal statute. To make the mandate constitutional, you’d need an ammendment.

Nothing wrong w/the court pointing that out.
