by David Barton
First published 1996
David Barton argues that America's judicial branch has grown beyond its constitutional limits. Courts now control decisions that belong to elected officials in Congress and the White House. Barton examines how the nation's Founders designed impeachment as a check against judicial overreach. He traces the historical use of this constitutional remedy and contrasts it with modern misunderstandings about what constitutes an impeachable offense. The book presents the Founders' original vision for limiting activist judges through impeachment proceedings. Barton demonstrates how this constitutional mechanism could restore balance between the three branches of government. His analysis reveals the gap between contemporary impeachment practices and the Founders' intentions.
