Impeach The Supreme Court Justices?

A writer for the Daily Beast, David R. Bow, seems to think that any Supreme Court Justice who votes to strike down ObamaCare should be impeached. Well, to Mr. Bow, I say the only person who should be impeached is President Barack Obama. He took an oath of office to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Yet, this week he violated that oath. He undermined and defiled the Constitution by questioning the authority of the Supreme Court to rule against ObamaCare. He publicly disparaged the members of the high court in an attempt to undermine their authority and integrity. And, he attempted to intimidate a co-equal branch of government.

Under his oath of office, the clear operative is to "preserve the Constitution". Not to reinterpret it. Not to Change it. And, certainly, not to ignore it. But, his words this week implied all of these things.

If you're so inclined, you can read Mr. Bow's commentary at this link: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/04/03/impeach-the-supreme-court-justices-if-they-overturn-health-care-law.html
