Additionally, Justice Roberts ought to be punished for his judicial tyranny!

Absolute governments, (tho' the disgrace of human nature) have this advantage with them, they are simple; if the people suffer, they know the head from which their suffering springs [pinko progressives on our Supreme Court]; know likewise the remedy….. ___ Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.

Roberts deserves punishment, but there’s no way that can happen.

If you mean impeachment...

House votes to impeach, Senate tries and convicts.

SENATE??

No way.

Therefore the House should not waste time.

Now, even if they could, it would be STUPID to remove Roberts while Obama can name his replacement. Don’t bother giving me the old saw that it doesn’t matter, we couldn’t do worse than Roberts. Oh yes we could do worse. Small comfort, yes, but a worse person could occupy his seat, and a worse person WOULD.

Don’t bother reminding us that the Senate GOP could filibuster a Roberts replacement if all of them held together.

They COULD, but would they all hold?

Finally, let’s suppose they did hold and keep the seat from being filled.

That would leave 8 votes, setting up the possibility of many tie votes.

When the Supremes tie, what happens is whatever lower court rulings were in place, even the 9th circus , remain in effect.

We don’t want the world that would exist if we COULD remove Roberts.

Moot point; we can’t, anyhow.
