The more strenuously Scalia refuses to recuse himself...

[Jeebo]

...the more obvious it becomes to me and to anybody else who can see the nose in front of his/her face that there is a legitimate NEED and REASON for Scalia to recuse himself.

1. Much good it may do us.

2. I have never thought it a good idea

to try to impeach a SCOTUS justice, but if ever there were a desperate need to do so, it's now with Scalia, the most dangerous justice ever to sit on the SCOTUS bench.

His blatant theocratic leanings and obsessions with secrecy, total lack of understanding of and respect for the Constitution, and blatant partisanship culminating in his selection of the president notwithstanding, when he said "mere factual innocence should not stop an execution if the death sentence has been properly reached", that was IT for me!!!

3. If it has to start with the House, how likely would that be?

But wondering about the process. In a Repub-centric House, what steps would have to be taken on the Dem side to get an impeachment request in process?

4. In the world of realpolitik

it will not happen. What will happen is that the string
of judicial radicalism incidents will go on until
the * administration is properly prosecuted after 04.

Then, the pugs having lost the house in 06, the numbers will be there to remove Scalia. When this worm turns, we must remember that we have fought an enemy with neither decency or restraint.
We are fighting for dharma here.

6. ..."mere factual innocence should not stop an execution"...?

Did Scalia REALLY say that? That is one of the most OUTRAGEOUS things I've ever heard in my life! Anybody who would rule in a death penalty case that "mere factual innocence should not stop an execution if the death sentence has been properly reached" is not FIT to hold such a high office!
