On March 12, 1804, the first generation of our Founders impeached sitting Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase. This Constitutional authority has been used to remove 7 Federal Judges and force many others to resign in disgrace. We submit that Justice Roberts has failed in his sworn oath to uphold the Constitution in at least 5 ways.

Hey, why not post it here bud?
Would this not allow Obama to appoint another judge? Is this what we want?
Every freeper should demand this of their Republican member of Congress (don’t bother with the D’s, obviously).
If they do not agree, and sign on, they should be opposed in teh primary in 14.
Seriously...if not now, when?
(by the way: Roberts is a fag).
Hell I don’t want Mitt Romney to appoint one, let alone Obama. LOL
I assume he means “The Case to Impeach Justic Roberts when we have a Republican president in office?”
Or maybe the prospect of having a “Wise Lesbian” as our next nominee is less odious?
Although it should be, moral cowardice isn’t an impeachable offense. Roberts will just live with the shame.
I’m not say Roberts doesn’t deserve impeachment, disgrace and possibly incarceration, but I am saying that the timing is bad. If Hussein steals the election and manages to hang on to power, do you want to hand him the Chief Justice position to fill with a Sotomayer or Kagan, or possible someone much worse?
At this point, does it really matter who sits in that seat. The White hut doesn’t really need them any longer. All things can be achieved with their new broad power to tax.
All who voted for Obamadon’tcare should be impeached.
And hope that the GOP president does not appoint an O’Conner, Souter, Warren, or Stephens.
Good luck.

I am aware some of these are not new allegations against a activist court. However, in removing the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, it is our hope that a similar political precedent will be set that will have a positive impact on the lower courts and future SCOTUS decisions.
As we discussed in this article, the interpretation of the Constitution and the “final word” does not lie with the Supreme Court. Jefferson called that notion, “an absurdity.” But Newt Gingrich had it right. The Power is embedded in the Constitutional tools given to us beyond just elections and waiting for the “right” Supreme Court.
I would say to those who have a philosophical or moral aversion to this action – please read the words of our Founders on this issue. They went as far to encourage “a little revolution” now and then against government – even so far as taking up arms. In fact, the very early Congresses used impeachment, any with members who helped craft our Constitution. Interestingly, it was not the courts that decided Constitutionality. It was either the Senate or House, or the people.
I would encourage very religious Christians who feel similar reservations to reread COMMON SENSE by Thomas Paine, which made a BIBLICAL case for revolting against the inherent rights given to all men by God. David Barton has a wonderful article entitled, “Was the American Revolution a Biblically Justified Act?” Christians might also be reminded that since our Constitution gives the power of government to “We the People,” we have an added responsibility to steward it AS THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY over it acknowledged by God. Just as you would fire an employee stealing from your store or not obeying your directives on the farm – you have a God given authority OVER this government and you risk being a “worthless servant” by sticking it in the ground and not actively trying to make it prosper.
I’ve written some of the more damaging aspects of this decision here, and will post many more articles on PolitiJim and the Impeach Justice Roberts Facebook Page.

even under the most optimistic election scenarios, the GOP is not going to get more than 56 U.S. Senators. It takes 67 to actually remove a judge from office.
Oh good grief, can we please concentrate on the November elections FIRST!? We don’t need to be all over the place because we’re angry, we need to channel our anger to get rid of Obama and the Democrats in Congress!
“Would this not allow Obama to appoint another judge? Is this what we want?”
Bingo - we have a winner. Bad as Roberts is it can always be worse. We don’t Obama picking any more justices.
Don’t stop with Roberts. Any justice that can’t reasonably defend his or her decisions as a compliance to the Constitution should be tossed.
I think Roberts intends to resign because of his epilepsy. He wanted media love and acceptance before going.
Ditto, I'm not sure which is worse.
