It's time to impeach the judges

By Cliff Kincaid

She endorsed him, and he paid respects at her funeral, but it appears that President Donald Trump hasn't read Phyllis Schlafly's book The Supremacists: The Tyranny of Judges and How to Stop It. Rather than simply Tweet his disgust with rulings against his immigration executive order, Trump and his advisers should read the book, especially Schlafly's Chapter 15. It offers a series of measures, including impeachment, to stop tyrannical judges.

Originally published in 2004, the book is available as a free download at Schlafly's Eagle Forum website.

It's a mess, a complete mess, is what Trump might say of the rulings against his executive order. But as President, he can do something about it. Yet, he has simply issued a series of Tweets, one of the latest being that "dangerous" foreigners are being allowed into the U.S. because of the judicial rulings. But since when do judges decide the foreign or immigration policies of the United States? Where is that written in law or the Constitution?

Two conservative scholars, Dr. John C. Eastman and Hans von Spakovsky, have clearly explained how the judicial rulings against the president's order are not based on law or the Constitution. What is lacking is an effort by the administration and Congress to remove or restrict the power of tyrannical judges who present their own liberal personal opinions as expressions of the facts and the law.

Note, if anyone is interested in that book, the above link in turn, links to where one can get the downloaded book per Phyllis Schafly's Eagle Forum (the organization she started). I believe it is a direct download link.

Idiotic suggestion. Takes 66 Senators to convict, you really think you'll get Dems to vote to convict?


Ridiculous.

Ridiculous.

Not to mention the fact that it just gives democrats the reason to do so at the first opportunity if they can.

And this is EXACTLY why the Founders built in so many protections for judicial independence.  They realized - as most self-proclaimed constitutionalists do not (or have intentionally ignored) - that an independent judiciary is the sole bulwark against the tyranny of the majority and the primary means by which individual rights are protected.
