Not enough votes in the Senate to convict if you could impeach.

4. "We" can't impeach anybody.

Just as with a president, the House of Representatives has to vote articles of impeachment (not gonna happen with the current House), and then there would be a trial in the Senate. The justice can be removed only if convicted. Only one Supreme Court justice has ever been impeached by the House: Samuel Chase in 1805. And he was acquitted by the Senate. So I'm not holding my breath.

But given the fact that the gop has gerrymandered House districts, it looks to be too much of a longshot.

He flat out lied.

Convict him and let the re pigs twist themselves in to knots defending him.

The SCOTUS should be shamed. Two words… Citizen's United.
