“Any justice can be impeached, but it’s highly improbably since there are liberal judges and conservative judges who protect each other to guarantee the survival of their game.”

And just HOW do any other judges from ANY COURT have ANY JURISDICTION when it comes to impeachment of one of their number? There is this little thingy about separation of powers in The Constitution that rears its ugly head and says that judges can’t protect each other from the oversight of the Congress. In point of fact, with the exception of the SCOTUS, The Congress could abolish every f*cking court in the country! And maybe it would be a good idea, and then we could start of with a completely new slate of judges who would be Constitutionalists.

The process for impeaching a SCOTUS Justice is the same as a President. It begins with the impeachment vote in the house which is basically the same as an indictment. Then the actual trial for removal is conducted in the Senate.

It is easy to see that any such action is 99.99% impossible. Thus proving Robert's statement about the political persuasion of judges to be 100% false.
