1. why single her out? Most if the conservaidiots want to impeach Roberts

others are saying Roberts is laying the groundwork for rmoney

5. He's claiming she had a conflict of interest

ThinkProgress spoke with Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) outside the Court immediately following the decision today affirming the constitutionality of Obamacare. Gohmert, apoplectic over the ruling, directed his anger towards Justice Elena Kagan, who he claims likely “violated federal law” by voting on the Obamacare decision after serving as Solicitor General when the law was passed. “She needs to be removed from the Supreme Court,” he cried, calling for her impeachment. As such, Gohmert said today’s decision upholding Obamacare is “illegitimate.”

GOHMERT: We still have the issue of Justice Kagan. Either she was totally derelict and negligent in her duties as Solicitor General and had absolutely nothing to do with the most important bill to the president, her boss, or she did have something to do with it, she has violated federal law, and as such she needs to be removed from the Supreme Court. (...) I think it’s important to look at Justice Kagan for potential impeachment. (...)

KEYES: Considering she was the deciding vote in the case, does that leave the ruling illegitimate if she broke federal law?

GOHMERT: Yes it would. It would mean this decision would be illegitimate if she lied in order to get onto the Court.

Of course, by that reasoning, I'm pretty sure every decision with current Republican-appointed justices is illegitimate.

6. Jeebus, what a dolt.

The SG represents the government in cases heard by courts of appeal and especially the SCOTUS. The SG does not offer advisory opinions on the constitutionality of legislation. That is handled by WH counsel or another part of the DOJ.

Kagan had absolutely nothing to do with the ACA while serving as SG.

Dumber than a stump this "Gomer" is.

[flakey_foont]

4. well, he has to blame somebody!!

Probably on the grounds that Gohmert is nuttier than squirrel poop

[NightWatcher]

3. for???

not agreeing with you is not an impeachable offense. Why not impeach Roberts? I'd like Obama to get the chance to replace him.

7. He should move to Arizona

So they can challenge his immigration status.

[The Magistrate]

8. While Thomas Is Flat Purchased By Bribes Paid Through His Wife....

[Initech]

11. And Scalia continues to prove himself to be an absolute jackass...

[The Magistrate]

12. He, Sir, Ought To Be Removed Owing To The Balance Of His Mind Being So Obviously Disturbed

There is definitely something clinically wrong with his mental state. And due to this psychological disturbance, he is incapable of performing the duties of his office properly.

10. Why did she sit out the immigration decision but not ACA decision? nt
