Should Congress impeach and remove the Supreme Court for placing the health and lives of 5 million people at risk?

Question

The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade may have unforeseen repercussions, such as denying women access to necessary medications. Methotrexate is one vital plant that has suffered due to the Supreme Court’s decision. Methotrexate is a medication that is commonly used to treat autoimmune illnesses such as inflammatory arthritis, psoriasis, and lupus. Higher doses are also used in cancer treatment to prevent cell division. It can also be used in for abortions A report by AFP narrates the story of a nurse from Alabama, Melissa, who spoke of the harsh realities of living with arthritis and how the impact of the ban upended her life. According to Melissa, on requesting her arthritis medication, she was told it had been placed on “hold” following an investigation that she wasn’t going to use it to induce abortion. Melissa expressed her outrage at the current state of the abortion ban and how double standard it is. She was at a loss on how the same society who let her male friend get his prescription methotrexate filled without delay denied hers. Melissa is not alone. Multiple reports of women have come forward to express their outrage at the ban on abortion pills and how it keeps them from getting treatment at the right time. Another woman, a 20-year-old Ohio university student, told AFP that she had been prescribed methotrexate since 2020 to treat her lupus. However, following the ban, the national chain of pharmacies informed her that they were “no longer accepting prescriptions for methotrexate unless it was for the FDA-approved use of (treating) breast cancer, or the patient was not presumably fertile.” The above incidents are not isolated cases. Many more people have been affected by the decision.

No. The Constitution specifies the requirements for impeachment. Affecting someone's health is not one of them.

The SCOTUS repeal of Row v Wade is considered by many constitutional scholars as a legitimate interpretation of the Constitution, which is what SCOTUS is supposed to do.

The correct thing to do would be to have Congress pass laws to clarify things and eliminate what is perceived to be an unintended consequence of SCOTUS repeal.

Just goes to show how the people on SCOTUS use their own personal feelings to make some rulings! Not the constitution nor the poorly written laws that the politicians make.
Otherwise there shouldn’t be split decisions. Just unanimous ones!

Yeap but they never will. We don't matter. Doesn't matter who dies, gets permanently injured, whos life is ruined. Doesn't matter if you're 70 or 10, black white or whatever. They just want women as broodmares to abuse and use like they used to before we got rights and a say in the matter.

I think the people should clear the lot of them. Congress has stood by while trump breaks the law.

The story is not clear whether or not withholding the medication was done by the state of Alabama or by the federal government. If it was the state that did this it has nothing to do with the Supreme Court. Overturning Roe V Wade took abortion out of the hands of the federal government and returned it to the individual states where it belongs.
My wife was prescribed this medication for an auto immune disorder and had absolutely no issues getting then medication.

@kelley1 Congress CANNOT impeach and/or remove members of the Supreme Court. They are appointed for life. Ask Ruth Bader Ginsberg

oldpigg · Answer

In fact, I gave a presentation on methotrexate at my university. However, I support the outlawing of all abortion pills in all cases.
