This is in response to a Nov. 10 letter by Larry Phillips, who noted that some protesters are calling for the impeachment of President Bush. Phillips wondered if Bush could be impeached, given that it was the U.S. Supreme Court, and not the voters, who declared him to be president. He then wondered if it would take a Constitutional Convention "to remove from presidential powers the lifetime appointment of these Supreme Court justices."
Before anyone starts talking about a Constitutional Convention, he needs to make sure he knows exactly what he's asking for.
If we call a Constitutional Convention, it would be open to change any amendment in there, including the amendments in the Bill of Rights. Is this what we really want?
