Impeach Scalia
Advertisements [?]
A. The Congress has the power and the duty to impeach civil officers for high crimes and misdemeanors.

B. Scalia's refusal to recuse himself from the Energy Task Force case is a violation of judicial ethics.

A story from Kos with relevant links:

Scalia argues, "Since I do not believe my impartiality can reasonably be questioned, I do not think it would be proper for me to recuse." In fact his impartiality has been reasonably questioned, as argued by Sierra Club and thoroughly documented by them in their brief. Scalia's defense seems to be that the editorials and opinions expressed in the press are not representatitve of the public?

Even the questions of our elected representatives are brushed aside as "unreasonable" by the imperious Scalia. I say, impeach him now.

Is that unreasonable? Tell me, citizens, is that unreasonable? I don't believe for a minute that this man can impartially pass judgement on his friend, Richard Cheney. Do you? Are you unreasonable to question his impartiality?

Impeach Scalia.
