36. Grounds for impeachment?
Edited on Sun Sep-30-07 11:39 PM by ProudDad
"While most recent Supreme Court nominees have been deemed "well-qualified" by the American Bar Association (ABA), the rating for Judge Thomas was split between "qualified" and "not qualified." The ABA, however, has no official standing in the nomination or confirmation process.

Organizations including the NAACP, the Urban League and the National Organization for Women opposed the appointment based on Thomas's criticism of affirmative action and suspicions that Thomas might not be a supporter of the Supreme Court judgment in Roe v. Wade. Under questioning during confirmation hearings, Thomas repeatedly asserted that he had not formulated a position on the Roe decision."

He lied to Congress about Roe...

Y'all do realize that SCOTUS justices CAN BE IMPEACHED and REMOVED.


I can dream, can't I?
