Impeachments are fundamentally a political process. The precedent for removing judges via impeachments is not done because of the assumption that judges are operating on generally good faith for the benefit of the law. They are not. They are operating exclusively as partisan executors for the purposes of political enforcement. I don't care that there is no precedent for it. The philosophy that undergirded that privilege: objective moral standards and high trust people and institutions protecting an objective sense of fairness in law, fucking died.
Impeach and remove. We can do it with presidents, and we can do it with judges for just as silly reasons.
