[...] it is not for life if the judge misbehaves - or at least opponents can make a plausible argument to that effect - and Congress removes the jurist, or at least threatens to remove the judge.5 In such a case "judicial selection" might encompass the tactical use of impeachment to deselect judges. In Part I, this Article frames the phenomenon of impeachment as judicial selection as a tactic of constitutional hardball, i.e., the framework suggested by Professor Mark Tushnet for understanding how parties or movements secure rapid change between constitutional orders.6 Part I also discusses several of the prominent instances of resort to this tactic, including the Jeffersonian, Nixonian, and Christian Coalition impeachments or threats of impeachment.

The forum will be moderated by "Like It Is" TV show host Gil Noble and it will feature panelists Councilman Charles Barron; Viola Plummer; Elombe Brath, the host and producer of "Afrikaleidoscope" on WBAI-FM; and CEMOTAP co-chairs James Mclntosh, MD, and [Betty Dopson]. It's a good idea for us to have a real discussion about the state of the Black community from different perspectives," Dopson noted. "So many of the advocates w...

Illustrating the parallel was when the Grand Jury met prior to the 2004 child molestation case against Michael Jackson to determine whether there was enough evidence against Jackson to send the case to trial. In a one-sided presentation of die "facts" in his case, it decided that there was sufficient "evidence'" to warrant a trial. Finding sufficient evidence is called an "indictment" hence he went to trial, only to be found "not guilty" of all ten charges against him. Succinctly put, what "Indictment" is to the citizen is "impeachment" to the President. In 1999, President Clinton was impeached or formally charged, but was never convicted. Subsequently, he was allowed to stay in office. Were he to be convicted, he would have been forcibly removed from office. This is what a growing numb...
