I'd love to see Ass. Justice Thomas impeached but in the current Senate, the Dems don't have the votes to convict and I'm doubtful that any Repub Senators would vote to convict.
I'm not sure how an impeachment of a Justice on the Supreme Court begins...does the House have to formulate the charges and conduct the impeachment trial before the Senate as they do with a Presidential impeachment?

Thank you for that link, Ms. Matlock. It was an interesting and informative article. I guess trying to politicize the judicial branch (or muzzle the fiery partisanship thereon) is not confined to the 20 and 21st centuries.

This might help. It recounts what happened to a Supreme Court justice in 1804, the only one to be impeached. But he wasn't convicted by the Senate.
