Can Justice Clarence Thomas be impeached...

For lying to Congress during his confirmation hearings? I keep hearing that we can't trust Alito to tell the truth in his Senate confirmation hearings, because Justice Thomas lied about his personal beliefs and judicial intent in his confirmation hearings.

Shouldn't that be considered Contempt of Congress? Shouldn't a Justice that is confirmed under false pretenses, be impeached or recalled?

And most importantly for the current hearings, shouldn't Judge Alito be warned that if he provides specious testimony before the Senate and then repudiates his testimony by his actions once confirmed, he will be subjected to removal as a Supreme Court justice?

I just can't abide the "hide and deceive" methodology the right wing is using to pack the court with their ideological trojan horses.

judical misconduct, fomenting a political coup and conspiricy in electoral fraud.

Impeaching more than one judge might look like a politically motivated purge / power-grab and whip the right-wing into an even bigger frenzy.

Thomas should have a Coke and a smile with a twist of pubic hair and shut the fuck up.

You simply have to have the votes and the will: an impeachable offense is what a majority of the House says is one, and proof of guilt is what two thirds of the Senate claims to see as same. There is no review, and no independent standard.

they aren't going to say they will rule a certain way on a specific case. they are purposely vague or simply say that since a similar case might come before them, they won't answer.

just curious, what were the rulings by Thomas that you believe contradicted his testimony??

As I really didn't follow the Thomas hearings very closely at the time. I have just read a number of comments on Progressive websites that we can't believe Alito, because Thomas lied about his beliefs and intentions before the Senate.

I would love to hear specifically his false testimony linked with his rulings from the bench. My thought is, that one way to pursue Alito, isn't to pursue Alito, but to pursue Thomas as an example of what Alito perhaps maybe, a stealth candidate.

We might be able to flush him out, as most prideful men aspiring to high office, wouldn't want to be besmirched by his confirmation testimony.

So by pushing the Thomas story in the media, we can fire a shot across the bow of Alito's potential legacy and perhaps cajole him into giving the answers we all suspect will match his future votes.

about his sexual behaviors that his views ( which were pretty much known from his writings as I recall) seemed secondary on some level. In retrospect that would appear to be a situation in which powerful Democratic efforts did not have the desired effect. Which of his statements at that time were and are? being construed as "lies?"

He was seen as the polar opposite of to Thurgood Marshall, whom he replaced, and he has been Scalia's "handmaiden," certainly in a conceptual way, since he was placed on the court. So I am not sure what "lies" are being referred to. So I do not think anyone was surprised by his votes on the court. He's not Bork, but in some ways he is probably worse.

when it first came out that there were about 50 other Anita Hill's out there. The man's entire hearing was a string of lies and dodges. Our senator here, Alan Dixon, rightfully got voted out for affirming Slappy.

is mandatory for confirmation.

The list of people I have seen openly lie at their hearings and then be confirmed is long.

is the repub "Step and Fetch It". I get sick everytime I hear his fool name. He abandon his race, took up with a white woman and is kissing the ass of every cracker in the country.

I woudn't just impeach him; I'd put his head on a stake out in front of the MLK Memorial.
