Question. Can judges be impeached??

[hinckley buzzard]

Yes, but they have to have a seat on the bench first. This slug has never been a judge.

Question. Can judges be impeached??

US Constitution; Art 3, Sec 1
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested
in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the
Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The
Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold
their Offices during good Behaviour, and shall at stated
Times, receive for their Services, a Compensation, which
shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

I guess it depends on the definition of Good Behavior.

Question. Can judges be impeached??

Impeachment is the only way to rid the country of a federal judge.

The most notable recent case is Alcee Hastings, a federal district judge in Florida. He was impeached and convicted of accepting a bribe in 1988.

Alas, the miscreant was then elected to Congress in 1992 -- where he remains to this day.

Well, we sure tried to impeach Cheif Justice Earl Warren in the 50’s and 60’s!!!
