I fondly remember the ousting in California long ago of Rose Bird (sp?). In a state court famous for being left of Lenin, she was a standout.

Hubby and I were living in Southern California at the time and remember it fondly.
From http://judgepedia.org/index.php/Rose_Bird:
"Bird was the first Chief Justice to be removed from that office by a majority of the state's voters. California Supreme Court justices are selected by the Governor but must be regularly reconfirmed by the electorate; prior to Bird, no California appellate judge had ever failed such a vote. "She was removed in the November 4, 1986 election after a high-profile, highly partisan campaign that cited her categorical opposition to the death penalty."
Good riddance to bad trash.

I was biting at the bit back then to vote her out. She is probably still whining about "those wacko voters" to this day. LOL.

Bird was an appointee of Jerry Brown.
