18. Supremely courting the corporatocracy they still are.
I went to the legal forums here in January, after the Citizen United charade and asked if there were any legal precedent for impeaching Supreme Court members. The answer was yes and no. Like the Clinton impeachment, Samuel Chase was impeached by the House of Representatives for high crimes and misdemeanors in 1804, but the Senate didn't ratify. I contended then that Roberts should step down out of sheer embarrassment and from there that any sitting justice who ruled in corporate favor and in support of ending the recount in Florida should also be made to step down. That list includes Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Kennedy.

Skilling is exactly where he belongs right now and anyone I consider fit to be a judge knows that is where he should remain.

Impeach them now, too much damage lies in the wake of corporate inspired judicial activism already.
