Activist conservatives target Justice Kennedy: A gaggle of rightwingnuts is calling for the impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, calling his judicial opinions, among other things, Lenist, Stalinist, Satanist, and—ack!—activist. What did he do? Launch a war on a sovereign nation based on unsubstantiated grounds? Hand out peach no-bid government contracts to GOP donors? Pay out $500K to his wife and daughter using political-action and campaign committee funds?

No.

Kennedy, a Reagan appointee to the court, offered a legal opinion that capital punishment for juveniles should be forbidden.
