The process for impeaching a judge or Justice is exactly the same as for Presidents, etc. The last judge to be impeached was Alcee Hastings, then a US District Judge in California. After being thrown off the bench for taking bribes from two drug dealers, he got himself elected and reelected to Congress. LOL.

Calle dScott McInnis's Office today the phone sitter thought
that only the Senate could Impeach a Judge-s the Senate has
Constitutional authority to confirm the Presidents' appointees.But I thought otherwise.

Alcee was the only one that came to mind. I did think Florida, rather then California.

Since the Senate can not even get judges voted on, I guess nothing will come of O'Connor's statements. Only dims are allowed to attack women.

That was Florida, not California.
