Although most American citizens incorrectly believe Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life and therefore somehow immune from public accountability, this understanding is contrary to our Constitution, which is the supreme Law of the Land. Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution states, “The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behaviour.” Accordingly, it is for a term of good behavior our federal judges hold their office, not life, and they can be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

The Constitution of the United States
This blog is about understanding the original intent of the United States Constitution and applying the principles extracted from its words and clauses to modern issues. Before anyone gets involved in public discourse, they should take the time to read and understand its original intent, because it is “the supreme Law of the Land,” to which all other laws within its jurisdiction must conform. It is vital every American citizen upholds the original intent or nothing that we hold sacred will be spared. This first post references a copy of the Constitution that has all the original spelling, punctuation, and clauses as they appear in the original document.
