also, aren't they supposed to actually hear arguments on the actual case before they rule on it? but maybe he figures the founding fathers were expecting judges to rule on they "knew" was right, rather than wasting time on actual facts.

So what qualifies as grounds for impeachment of a Justice?

Congress can impeach a Supreme Court Justice, but it's only happened once and he was acquitted

yeah, but we don't want it to repeat itself - we want it to progress, by actually successfully removing a justice from the court.

but since they don't even have to follow the usual rules of recusal, even when they have a blatant conflict of interest, i'm not sure what he could be charged with.
