INDIANA MOVES TO IMPEACH "ROGUE" JUDGES & PROSECUTORS: FINALLY, REAL TEETH FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
Indiana Rep. Andrew Ireland filed a proposed constitutional amendment to let the state legislature impeach judges and prosecutors who go soft on violent offenders.
Repeat killers or rapists get slaps on the wrist, and now lawmakers could boot the enablers out the door.
The push?
It's aimed square at spots like Marion County, where critics say DA Ryan Mears has let folks with rap sheets, like the IndyGo bus arsonist, walk free, spiking fear in neighborhoods.
Ireland's bill would expand impeachment beyond just "high crimes" to straight-up failure to enforce laws that protect innocents, needing approval in 2 legislative sessions before hitting voters.
This is the accountability people've been screaming for.
Soft-on-crime benchwarmers hide behind "discretion," but when their leniency endangers families, it's not justice, it's negligence.
The U.S. would be in the vanguard of this movement, it's due to time to boot 'em, replace 'em with tough enforcers who prioritize victims over perps.
Indiana's leading the charge; time for every state to follow and make courts serve the people, not coddle chaos.

In product liability cases, willful negligence can send people to prison.
Impeach? They should be thinking rope.
The Indiana state constitution does not define treason against the state, as do many other state constitutions.
The state legislators need to work to include that revision in the Indiana constitution so they can apply it to traitorous state judges.
Rope? Time to bring Old Sparky out of retirement.
I think a law that holds judges personally and criminally liable for acts committed by individuals who were given lenient treatment would go a long way towards addressing the problem.
This is the right stuff. At last there will be consequences for these no-consequences-for-violent-criminals judges.
Yes, I agree.

It would be implausible to suggest they do not already possess this power, and have since 1832 or whatever.
These clowns aren’t “soft” on crime, what they are is hard on the citizenry, punishing decent peaceable people. If you’re kind to the cruel, you just end up being cruel to the kind. This has the odor of some legislative publicity stunt.
One State down, another 49 to go, but it’s a very important beginning in the right direction.
