Has a Supreme Court Justice ever been impeached before?

Yes, Samuel Chase was impeached and tried before the Senate in 1804, with Arron Burr in the chair.  It was said that, "The judge appeared before the murderer."

While judges hold office, "for a term of good behavure," Federal District Court Judge Alcee Hastings was removed in 1989 even though he had been aquitted in court.  He is now a member of the US House (D, FL-23).

You guys want to impeach the wrong justices. Didn't Thomas lie under oath during his confirmation hearings?


Nope, but Anita Hill would have if she had not "corrected" her testimony.

Thomas may have also lied on some non Anita related stuff.

Ah, care to post the "may" stuff?  Ginsburg "may" have lied about something.

Probably something that you'd consider true, like that 940 heads and 60 tails aren't statistically significant.

Once again, we see JFRAUD lying about a claim, getting caught, and trying to change the subject.  Typical, typical, typical.

Hey, JFRAUD, why don't you look at the "Rolodex" and tell me what time you will be able to answer the question.  I guess we'll get accurate posts from you only in the years when the month of March comes after July.
