Lugar was the first Republican to announce his support for Marxist Sotomayor and also voted for Kagen. Lugar is a flaming RINO.
The Constitution also sets a very low bar for REMOVAL FROM OFFICE ~ through the mechanism of impeachment.
Alas, Lugar hasn't thought it all the way through or he'd realize that failure to critically examine these Democrat montebancs isn't really offset by impeachment since they never use it.
If they made it a common practice to rip bad judges off the bench and field strip them things would be different, but it's not, and the burden falls on him, Dick Lugar, to make those critical examinations.
Frankly, he and other senators who don't challenge judicial appointments are simply lazy.
Time to go Lugar! Back to the paint factory eh.
