Does anyone have more information about Samuel Chase? Such as did he marry and have offspring? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bradeos Graphon ( talk • contribs) 17:48, 20 October 2005
Just a random question: In the 70s musical "1776", Samuel Chase is portrayed as being rather obese and having perhaps an eating obsession. Is there any historical justification for this portrayal? (The portrait posted in the article doesn't corroborate it.) Or did the musical add this aspect merely for comedic effect? 98.212.223.45 ( talk) 06:39, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

This topic is in need of attention from an expert on the subject. The section or sections that need attention may be noted in a message below. |
This section is woefully lacking detail. What was the acquittal vote? What were the allegations of "political bias"? It takes a complex and noteworthy issue (the impeachment process against a SCOTUS justice), and simplistically represents it as an ardent Federalist vs. a Jeffersonian-leaning Senate. Also "to have been impeached" seems inaccurate, at least ambiguous, since the impeachment vote failed to remove him from office. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.172.132.176 ( talk • contribs) 04:21, 27 July 2007
All good questions - I'm doing an assignment on tenure and removal of justices and while I'm not dealing with Chase directly, the wording in Wikipedia surrounding the impeachment being for his work on lower circuit courts, is the only mention of this I can find. Others claim it was his reference to the republic sinking to a "mobocracy" under Jefferson. [Abraham at 76 & Oyez (see below)]. I haven't looked at the following sources, but for anyone who wants to do a clean up of the article (yes, I know the dates on them; you'll probably have to go to an actual library), they would make a good start.
Best source for any Supreme Court Justice is the invaluable Henry J. Abraham "Justices and Presidents" (3rd ed, 1991); for Chase, try George Lee Haskins & Herbert A. Johnson "History of the Supreme Court of the United States" (Vol 2, 1981) (at 205-245) or online there's Oyez < http://www.oyez.org/justices/samuel_chase/>. Abraham references an 'authoritative' article by Richard Tillich, "The Chase Impeachment" in 4 American Journal of Legal History (1960); alternatively try Raoul Berger, "Impeachment: The Constitutional Problems" (1973). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.222.183.154 ( talk) 03:29, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm not expert at all, but "to have been impeached" is accurate, since he was tried. Whether you're found guilty or not, you have still been impeached, if that's what you were talking about. Experimental Hobo Infiltration Droid ( talk) 16:02, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Hello all --
Someone added this sentence to the Samuel Chase Wikipedia entry: Since leaving the federal judiciary Justice Chase started an internet blog, Eight Articles. Seen here,
I'm not well versed in editing the entries. Could someone please remove the extraneous language?
Thanks,

This is just hanging out there with no explanation. I just happened onto the article but this line really stuck out. -- SlimJim Talk 05:15, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
No mention of slave-owning. I feel that this category should be restricted to people whose slave-owning history was notable in itself. Valetude ( talk) 19:52, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
