(article from The Independent)
There is zero merit in impeaching Kavanaugh and Gorsuch for lying under oath. All of the Trump-picked Justices have cited stare decisis as the reason that Roe v. Wade continued to exist, but not specifically as a reason for how they would rule on abortion cases. Impeached justices would simply argue that Roe v. Wade should be an exception to stare decisis, or that they changed their mind in how they feel about certain aspects of settled case law. I am pro-choice, but what AOC is proposing is a bad idea.
