Chase was impeached for alleged misdemeanors in the trials of John Fries and James Thomson Callender for treason and seditious libel under the Alien and Sedition Acts. This was the only time a Supreme Court justice was impeached. Hall notes,"[Chase] is usually dismissed by most American historians as nothing but a rabid partisan. He was, as a study of Chase's opinions reveals, one of the most important political and legal theorists at work in the early republic, and there is still much that can be learned from his work. There is even a chance that future scholars will begin to accord Chase the recognition he deserves and raise the man.to his proper place in the judicial pantheon, one very possibly at the level of Marshall himself."
