Do you think Chief Justice John Roberts should be impeached?

He's the Chief Justice and he's not particularly old so he's not going to retire anytime soon. I thought he was a conservative for the seven years he's been on the Court, but that's been proven false. He betrayed the Constitution and America by first helping to gut the Arizona law and then yet being the vote that's responsible for ruling an authoritarian piece of legislation Obamacare constitutional. I'm just throwing it out there if you think he should be impeached before things go back to how they were and he's forgiven for protecting Obamacare. I'm thinking if he is then after Romney's elected President impeachment's voted on him, and for extra help we can remind liberal Senators of rulings he made that got them so upset for whatever reason so we can get more people on board impeaching him and Romney would replace him with a properly vetted conservative who rules like Scalia, Thomas, and Alito.

Update:

FatGuy- True, the only way they get off is if they die, retire, or get impeached. From my memory, in our history only one Supreme Court Justice has had impeachment charges brought against them, but I think it'd be good to do it again against Roberts.

Update 2:

He legislates from the bench to gut Arizona's law against illegals that's just like the laws we have but fail to enforce, but thinks Obamacare's just fine? Hypocrite.

    they can be impeached, but it has been so long since anyone tried that it would take a Congress with a lot more integrity and a whole lot more guts than anything we have seen recently

    No, but I feel that all those who benefit from the taxes from Obamacare should be

    Dozens of new taxes, and not A SINGLE ONE mandated on WHERE the tax money will GO? This is the beginning of the end for America, unless we change (For the BETTER, not just lie like Obama)

    Not Obama change

    Not Romney change

    Not Republican or Democrat

    But American, go back to freedom, before the socialism, before the progressives, back when we could DO what we wanted unless infringing on others rights

    I actually think that the Obamacare decision is a conservative one. He basically said that elections have consequences. You (the American people) voted for Obama, you can't rely on the courts to fix the mistakes you made in an election. In his campaign he said he was going to fundamentally change America, and he's trying his level best to do just that.

    But the ruling means this as well: When Obama was pushing his health care program, he went around insisting, it's not a tax, it's not a tax, it's not a tax! Now, his side had to argue to the court that it is a tax, otherwise it would be considered unconstitutional.

    So not only has he lied to us, claiming it is a tax when it actually is (everyone knew that anyway), but he broke his campaign promise of not increasing taxes on the middle class with the biggest tax increase in world history!

    Wait -- why did you think he was a conservative, or more to the point why did you think politics mattered? Did you not listen to his confirmation hearing? Remember the bit about "being an umpire"?

    To impeach him, he has to have done something wrong in reality, not just "I don't like what he did so I am going to call it a betrayal".

    If you are interested in installing "properly vetted" conservatives or liberal judges, you are missing the whole point of the judicial branch. Seriously. The point is that judges and justices must be impartial or they are worthless.

    I think he should be thrown in Guantanamo bay with all our other economic terrorists as well has Holder for domestic terrorism and Obama for not shutting down Guantanamo like he promised.

    That NDAA he should have vetoes and not "noted" it would happen in his time will make him the first President to sign on making our Habeas Corpus rights null and void

    Source(s): (I guess you can see where the line is now - hopefully the Tea Party will be good for their word and muzzle Romney on Big Government

    No. He went from Chief Justice to the Chief Justice John Roberts, Statesman.

    Really you want to impeach him because god forbid he did the right thing and not just go with the "conservative" idea that's the problem with the republicans. They argue that government shouldn't be involved in peoples personal live unless its abortion. And then act like a bunch of spoiled as* crybabies when they don't get what they want life is tough suck it up.

    This would certainly make for an interesting vote in the Senate. Both Democrats and Republicans would have to think long and hard about this one.

    Tea patties fascism is not what the people want.

    Why do Tea patties think they are the only people that matter? koch brothers and their Foreign partners are not what the people want.

    Rule by Corporation cause there is no Gov left to protect the Constitution is not what the people want.

    Take the Magna carta somewhere else.

    Sorry but you cannot impeach somebody just because you don't like the ruling. Perhaps if you knew anything about the constitution, you would know that.
