DID YOU KNOW: Supreme Court Justices Can Be Impeached By A Simple House Majority Vote

[Conservative Angle]

​

Amy Coney-Barrett has been “disappointing” to put it mildly….

From her rulings siding with the Biden Regime:

Conservative justices Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts sided with the Biden Administration.

This was correctly predicted by Trump in one of his speeches.

The judges are creating a clash of civilizations.

To the disgusting way in which she scowls at President Trump:

To her rulings AGAINST President Trump on so many occasions, she has been a real disappointment.

Even Megyn Kelly lit her up a few days ago:

It seems like almost no one is happy with here:

This video I made about Amy Coney Barrett is blowing up in my TikTok and I just wanted to share it with my patriot family. Hope you guys are all having a great week thank you again for all the follows on my last post. I’m not allowed to follow any more people for a few few days… pic.twitter.com/SduNbGjdr1

As usual in these cases, you have to wonder if she’s been compromised…

Either blackmail or threats to her family?

You know, like this?

Either way, an interesting point has come up recently.

Shout out to my friend Fletch for posting this:

Did you know a Supreme Court justice can be Impeached by a simple house majority vote?
Did you also know treason is considered a “high crime”?

But….is it true?

Well, yes but it’s not the full story.

First, it must be for an impeachable offense, not just not liking their rulings.

Second, just as the impeachments of Trump and Clinton, there’s a vote in the House and then confirmation in the Senate, so it’s a two step process.

Yes, there could technically be an “Impeachment” in the House, but if not confirmed in the Senate it would not matter.

Here’s more:

Yes, it’s true that a Supreme Court justice can be impeached by a simple majority vote in the U.S. House of Representatives. The process follows the same constitutional framework as impeachment for other federal officials, like the President. Article II, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution states that “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States”—which includes Supreme Court justices—”shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

Here’s how it works: Impeachment begins in the House, where a simple majority (at least 218 votes if all 435 members are present and voting) is enough to pass articles of impeachment. This acts like an indictment, formally charging the justice. However, removal from office requires a separate step: a trial in the Senate, where a two-thirds majority (currently 67 senators if all 100 are present) must vote to convict. Only after that conviction would the justice be removed.

Historically, this is rare for Supreme Court justices. The only notable case was Justice Samuel Chase in 1804, impeached by the House for alleged political bias, but he was acquitted in the Senate in 1805 and remained on the bench. No justice has ever been removed via impeachment.

So, to clarify: a simple House majority can impeach a justice, but it’s just the first hurdle—Senate conviction is the tougher part.

I found the bolded part very interesting….

In the history of our nation, no Supreme Court Justice has ever been removed this way.

It is unlikely that Amy Coney-Barrett will be the first.
