Want to Get Rid of Clarence Thomas?

[MineralMan]

Here's how:

Step 1: Elect an absolutely unstoppable Democratic majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.

There is no step 2.

Failing the success of Step 1, it's a wild goose chase. The Attorney General will not impanel a Grand Jury to indict Thomas, because there is no court in which to try him. Supreme Court Justices may only be removed from office or punished by impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction by the Senate. The AG's office has no authority in the matter.

Since the House is currently controlled by a strong Republican majority, there is absolutely zero chance of an impeachment. Case closed.

We're wasting out time on this issue, to be quite frank. We're wasting our time on many issues, when the only issue that really matters in the next year or so is the 2012 elections. Unless we can retake control of the Congress, none of the other stuff is going to happen. None of it. And, while we're at it, we need to retake control of those state legislatures that were lost in 2010.

Yes, there are many things that should be corrected. But each and every one of them depends on legislation. Without legislation that supports our goals, we will lose each and every important battle. And the only way we're going to get supporting legislation is to elect legislators who will vote for those things and support them.


It could not be more simple. We have a choice. We can focus our attention on the real battle facing us in 2012, or we can fritter away our time tilting at windmills. Expecting the current Congress to enact anything is simply foolish, so we must replace it with a Congress that will carry out our wishes. The longer we wait to take on that single thing, the less chance we have to succeed.

If you think I'm incorrect in this, please tell me how. Tell me what your plan is to implement whatever things you wish to see implemented - without electing a strong Democratic majority to both houses of Congress. I cannot see any other way.
