By the way, I am of the opinion that Congress can, and sometimes should, impeach a ham sandwich.

And the President can override any Supreme Court decision by any means supported by a majority of the House or more than 1/3 of the Senate. Let them enforce it themselves.

The three branches of government were always required to be unanimous or be paper, rock and scissors.

For at least 80 years, and perhaps 135 years, they have been unanimous in usurpation.

The power to impeach has been, for all practical purposes, written out of our Constitution. Oh yes, if a judge faces felony bribery charges, he will be tossed, but that is about it.

Our Framers wrote the power into the Constitution to provide a peaceful means to depose dangerous judges and Presidents. That power was not available to us as colonials. We couldn't walk into the House of Commons and file impeachment charges against the King who was making literal war on his people. Our only recourse was violence, revolution. Instead of storming the White House, we are supposed to impeach, convict and remove our tyrants.

So fast forward to today. Does Hussein fear impeachment? He ignores a court order. He made war without Congressional approval. His Obamacare and administrative agencies violate our Ninth Amendment Rights every day, yet there isn't a chance in a million he could be convicted in the Senate.

Our elite rulers don't understand the Constitution is timeless because human nature is static. The pot is close to boiling over and they don't even know it.
