The Constitution allows for the impeachment and removal of justices in much the same manner as a president: The House can vote for impeachment, and then a Senate trial is held, with a two-thirds vote needed to convict.
Only one justice has ever been impeached, and it was more than 200 years ago.
Samuel Chase was a frequent subject of the rumor mill for his entire life. As a young lawyer in Annapolis in the 1760s, he was expelled from a debating society for “extremely irregular and indecent” behavior. He was also an early critic of the Stamp Act and headed up Anne Arundel County’s chapter of the Sons of Liberty.
His height and broadness added to his gruff and intimidating personality. He also had a reddish-brown complexion, earning him the nickname “Old Bacon Face” — which some might consider its own impeachable offense.
The absurdity and hypocrisy of Clarence Thomas knows no bounds. And it was obvious from the beginning. Check out this video, recently unearthed from the C-Span archives, where we see him make a statement that runs counter to his recent affirmed position in Fair Admissions (heh) vs. Harvard. And isn't it embarrassing to even hear him utter the name of a real civil rights icon, Martin Luther King. This coming right on the heels of more news about his corruption and double dealing since being on the SCOTUS.

Here's a thought.... at it's best, affirmative action inorganically takes the best and brightest out of impoverished areas. Never to return. This leaves only the "bad apples" to propagate there. Cause and effect?

Context is everything.
