Moore said the Constitution’s option for impeachment appears to apply, since Ginsburg’s actions could be perceived as flouting the concept of a neutral judiciary. He noted that besides the well-known “high crimes and misdemeanors” that would subject a federal official to impeachment, Article 3, Section 1 of the Constitution also provides that judges “shall hold their offices during good behavior.”
Moore told WND that according to an analysis by historian Raoul Berger at Harvard Law School in 1970, the Constitution clearly suggests an end to “good behavior” is accompanied by an end of their “offices.”
“His conclusion is there is an implied power to remove judges whose bad behaviors fall short of high crimes and misdemeanors,” he said. Since there are no “dead words” in the Constitution, “every word has a meaning.
“The remedy rests with Congress,” he told WND, although anyone could raise the question.
Cruz is the SCOTUS wonk and if it turns out 20 motions to recuse were filed and oly one 1 of them acknowledged/recorded on the case’s docket, in a deceptive manner, could he lead a successful impeachment attempt?
I think it could lead to a successful impeachment attempt ONLY if we retained control of the House AND with a different Speaker of the House. We would have to win the Senate by a huge majority (2/3rds, iirc), and I don’t think that will happen.
However, the conditions would be present to actually file an impeachment for cause.
