Controlling the Court

When Roe v. Wade was issued, conservatives made the mistake of accepting it as legitimate and proposing such “solutions” as new amendments. The proper response would have been to demand the impeachment of the justices who had voted to usurp the powers reserved to the states under the Tenth Amendment. If the power to protect the innocent from violence isn’t such a power, what on earth is? In the sodomy case too, the Court has flagrantly exceeded its authority. If usurpation isn’t grounds for impeachment, we may as well burn the Constitution. Amending the Constitution is a cumbersome process, far too difficult to make it a useful corrective to usurpation. That’s what impeachment is for: to remove from office those who violate their own oaths to uphold the Constitution. It isn’t a criminal proceeding; it’s merely a measure to protect the people from those in power. Posted by Editor at August 4, 2003 09:02 AM
