Impeach the Supreme Court Three


Impeaching the President could be a useful step, but what is to stop the Supreme Court from violating the Constitution and stealing elections again? Contrary to popular belief, the Justices are not untouchable. Impeachment of Supreme Court Justices can be done and has been done before, though not successfully leading to removal. The Constitution allows for their removal by impeachment in the House and Senate. The last person to attempt to impeach a Supreme Court Justice was Gerald Ford, when he was House minority leader in 1970. Even the number of judges on the Court is not specified in the U.S. Constitution, but can be set by acts of Congress.
