Judges sometimes come up with opinions that have no relation to the constitution and in fact use international law as backup for their reasoning. These judges need to be impeached.
No where did I suggest that anything should be done that would go against the constitution, including judges.

Impeaching judges for disagreeable decisions is a can of worms that would lead to chaos. There's no way even most Republicans in Congress would take part in it since it would have no chance at all of getting the needed votes and would antagonize the majority of the Electorate in taking up the time of Congress that should be engaged in the workable business of the country.

The key is to appoint Judges that share our values. Constitutional concepts like 'Cruel and Unusual Punishment' and 'Unreasonable Search and Seizure' are sufficiently broad that there will never be a consensus as to what they encompass. Either among us nor among Judges.
