"In 1969, Abe Fortas became the first—and, to date, only—Supreme Court justice to resign under the threat of impeachment. Named to the court by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965, Fortas was forced to step down due to financial improprieties that involved him agreeing to act as a paid consultant to the family foundation of a man under investigation for securities fraud.

In addition to Samuel Chase, 14 federal judges (who are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate) have been impeached over the course of American history, on charges ranging from drunkenness on the bench to accepting bribes."

Let's hope that impeachment IS a priority this time.

We expect this "everything is on table" promise to be kept!

I’m no fan of Jeffries, but the antipathy towards him in that thread is almost shocking. He’s really gotten himself into a political pickle, and unlike Schumer, he’s got a lot of years ahead him.

Maybe his instincts have finally kicked in. We’ll see in the next Congress, but voters patience with him is already worn out before he’s even had a chance to take the gavel.
