Theoretically, yes. Impeachment of a SCOTUS judge follows the same procedure as impeachment of any other Federal official. The House would have to approve articles of impeachment. Even that seems unlikely as a practical matter, though. Even if the wide latina were impeached, removal from the bench would be pretty much impossible, given the current makeup of the Senate and the fact that a 2/3 vote would be needed to remove her.

Perhaps, impeachment would launch the Wise Latina on a new career in Congress -- as it did with Federal Judge Alcee Hastings. Hizzoner is now known as Cong. Alcee Hastings (D-FL).

‘Impeachment of a SCOTUS judge follows the procedure as impeachment of any other Federal official.’ The idea that we can not use impeachment as a deterrent to the runaway, power mad Federal officials currently in office because the Senate would not remove them is just another excuse to do nothing used by the GOP. You and I both know it might wake some folks up and be an major source of embarrassment for the Lefties. Think of all the candidates for impeachment, Obozo, Biden, Holder, Reid, Nancy, Debbie, the Wide Latina, the current head of the BLM, the head of the IRS, the list is endless. Even if they have just taken the job, we know they have left a slimy trail behind on the way up. Why not just do it? What do we have to lose?
