To impeach a judge, he or she has to be guilty of high crimes or misdemeanors, (and) none of that is present under any reading of the facts,” Smaltz said.

“I believe what's occurring is outrageous and an example of an unjustified interference with the judicial branch,” said Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer George Newhouse, who called Real “one of the better and smarter judges” on the bench.

Wonder if George Newhouse insists on having only 82-year-olds handle the REALLY important details of his life, like his investments and retirement, fixing his car, etc.

Didn't think so...
