Surely, [Nancy Pelosi]'s reticence is frustrating to patriotic Americans who know that we have reached the moment when, to borrow a thought from a Constitutional scholar named James Madison: "it may ... be found necessary to impeach the President himself." But history tells us that Pelosi's pronouncement ought not be taken seriously, as she is, at best, a bit player in what could yet be an epic drama. Pelosi is a politician of the most cautious school. As such, her post-election assertion ought to be taken about as seriously as George Bush's pre-election declaration that he wanted Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to remain at the Pentagon until the end of the administration's second term.

[...] 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. [...] as to the grounds for impeach...

The Amsterdam News noted that [Charles Rangel] signed on as a co-sponsor to Cong. John Conyers' (D-MI) bill H.R. 635, that creates a committee to look into the articles for impeachment. Explaining why, Rangel said, "I guess John Conyers and I are the only ones left in the Congress that actually served during the [Richard M. Nixon] impeachment process. The Nixon impeachment process took a lot of time, and a lot of study was required. And there is no one better able to understand how serious impeachment is than John Conyers. There are many personalities that come to mind during the tumultuous Nixon impeachment hearings, but the one that will never be forgotten is the late Congresswoman from Texas, Barbara Jordan, who died in 1996. A moment frozen in history is her opening line to the Hous...
