It's time to start an impeachment movement concerning the Supreme Court radicals.

The Supreme Court is not a legislative branch.

of a snowball in hell of getting the House to impeach, much less getting the Senate to convict a justice(s), that's unfortunately true.

The only place to begin is in keeping this drumbeat going, doing all we can in turning the November election in favor of our wish for a free society & hopefully gaining the majority needed to end the forward movement of the destruction of our American society.

We need an OCCUPY, a leader to emerge, someone who can expose the truths that we, here on DU connect to.
We need today a Gloria Steinem. Those who unite with the fearless power of their own speech & convictions need to step forward. So much is at stake as we sit here today.

We are one of those points in history that requires a movement. Not everyone has an equal opportunity to affect elections currently.

I think the best approach for us is increased activism (i.e. speaking out and protesting), of course taking back the House, and keeping the WH.

help much.

Basically you need control of the house and a serious enough breach of conduct to get by the Senate. I don't think we have either. In the case of the cause for impeachment, you would be trying to justify impeaching the whole conservative faction.
