Arizona: Congressman calls for recall of Senator John McCain

I'm waiting to hear back on an op-ed I wrote on the subject. Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) has now called for McCain to be recalled and removed by Arizona voters, presumably to be replaced by a newly-elected Republican. This wouldn’t be the first time that McCain has been threatened with a recall, though there is a real question over whether a US Senator can be recalled. Based on the Supreme Court's ruling and comments in the dissent in the US Term Limits v. Thorton, I imagine that the US Supreme Court would rule that federal officials are not subject to recall.
