I don't see much difference in that process and the impeachment of a president; all are "equal" branches of government and it takes Congress to do an impeachment of the president; the only difference I see is that they are "impeaching" a judge...and there are plenty of them that need it.

Get enough of these "rogue" judges and they make laws doing an end-run around the Constitution, and therefore need to be subdued.

It's all about "checks and balances", that's what is great about our Constitution.

There is an impeachment in the constitution for bad judges. I guess if after you impeach them, they boarded themselves up in the courthouse, you might send the police.

But under what authority would you arrest a judge for a decision you disagreed with? That sounds like something Chavez might do. If they are wrong, impeach them. Otherwise, don’t go threatening them with arrest in order to try to influence their decisions. That’s just a batty idea.

Unfortunately, more than a few conservatives are actually agreeing with this, which won’t be good for the movement.
