George Washington University Law School Professor Jonathan Turley wrote in an op-ed in The Hill on Wednesday:

Feeling disrespected, Democrats are threatening acts of retaliation in changing the Supreme Court or the Senate. But the most unhinged was the idea to impeach Amy Coney Barrett after she takes her seat. This option was raised by columnist Norman Ornstein, who wrote that if she “immediately votes for voter suppression” after rising to the Supreme Court, “she should quickly be impeached” because President Trump “asked her openly to act to tilt the scales of the election.”

Report: Democrats Consider Impeaching Justice Amy Coney Barrett if She Doesn’t Recuse Herself

In Justice Barrett's first majority opinion, she ruled that the House needs a two-thirds vote to impeach in spite of what the Constitution says and thus her impeachment is null and void. "Don't you wish I had stuck to originalism, chumps!" Justice Barrett wrote, using "chumps" for the first time in a written Supreme Court decision.

Hahahaha - that’s awesome

[and thus her impeachment is null and void]

I always knew that Nully was up to something here.

SCOTUS justice cannot be impeached. That act is only reserved against the President.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel P. Chase was impeached by the House, but acquitted by the Senate in 1805. In his case, the problem was that he was "arbitrary". I don't know what would qualify as "bad behaviour" in Justice Barrett's case. Simply not recusing herself shouldn't qualify.

You can impeach a ham sandwich if you control the votes in the House. The 2\3’rds to convict is a harder row to hoe.

[KarlInOhio]

Article II, Section 4:

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

A convicted ham sandwich would be a guilty pleasure.

“And then convictions and purges.” Followed by immediate helicopter rides provided by Pinochet Memorial Airlines.

“...because President Trump “asked her openly to act to tilt the scales of the election.”

Trump should sue him .... make him prove it in court.

[prophetic]

Every day we see these wicked Democrats continually attacking the Constitution and the rule of LAW, demanding their own way - OR ELSE!

They are the living examples of what the Bible called "Spiritual Wickedness in High Places!"

[Intar]

I’ve been schooled.

[scrabblehack]

Yes they can. “Impeach Earl Warren!”
No SCOTUS judge has ever been impeached - I’m not sure about that.
Lower court judges have been - Alcee Hastings for one.

[scrabblehack]

OK it has happened.

SCOTUS justice cannot be impeached.

When you have some spare time apart from making ill-informed posts, I suggest you take a few minutes and read the US Constitution. It's not that long, and the reading level was for the average person in the late 1700s. I still think that someone with today's public school education can grasp its meaning, even the part about impeachment of government officials.

[Intar]

Yes, mother.
