>(Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, in reviewing what we can do
>with regard to activist Federal judges who usurp the authorities of the
>legislative or executive branches, I was impressed by an article written
>on March 20 in the Washington Times by Paul Craig Roberts who
>said, there is no clearer, sounder, and firmer grounds for impeachment
>of judges than the violation of the constitutional oath, and there is no
>clearer, sounder, or firmer evidence that this oath has been violated
>than when judges violate the separation of powers and usurp the
>political functions of government. This has been understood by
>everyone since the day the Constitution was written. 
>
>(As one professor noted, in the constitutional design of the Founding
>Fathers, especially Alexander Hamilton's discussion of the Federal
>judiciary in the Federalist Papers, the ultimate recourse in the event
>the judiciary usurps legislative powers is impeachment by Congress. This
>has been thoroughly understood in every period of our history. 
>
>(Writing in the Harvard Law Review in 1913, Wrisley Brown, whose
>investigation led to the impeachment of Judge Robert W. Archibald,
>said impeachment is a political remedy to a political problem. It is
>directed against a political offense, it culminates in a political
>judgment, it imposes a political forfeiture, it is a political remedy for
>the suppression of a political evil with wholly political consequences.
