Justice Scalia should be impeached
Edited on Sun Feb-27-11 08:08 AM by Syrinx
Certainly the Constitution does not require discrimination on the basis of sex. The only issue is whether it prohibits it. It doesn't. Nobody ever thought that that's what it meant.

Apparently, Tony is not familiar with the 14th amendment.

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Scalia doesn't believe that women are people, as defined by the United States Constitution.

Scalia doesn't consider women to be "persons."

I don't mean to be overbearing, but come on. How anti-constitution does a justice have to be to get impeached and removed from the bench?

1. Of course not. Corporations are people.

5. Yes, he should, but we have a House of Representatives that has
a majority of Republicans, so it's not going to happen. The House must impeach, and it won't. To achieve this goal, we must correct that in 2012.

6. As we should all know, impeachment does not mean removal.
In today's political climate, 67 votes in the Senate to convict is virtually impossible to achieve.

7. It's a guess who will go first. Scalia or Thomas.
