When you look up about impeaching Federal Judges, you find the following quotes from Dr. Eastland, a Constitutional Scholar:

Said Eastland: "I think we need to revive the notion that judges can be impeached when they refuse to follow the law or they so distort the law and issue rulings like this. That threat of impeachment needs to be revived."

Eastland explained that federal judges are appointed for life, or for as long as they exhibit good behavior. He pointed out that the House of Representatives has the right to bring impeachment proceedings.


Note: This was about another ruling by the 9th Circuit Court concerning Boy Scouts. It looks like they can be impeached if the House of Reps takes action for not exhibiting good behavior. Not following the law sure seems like bad behavior to me.

"...That threat of impeachment needs to be revived."

Especially when the people of CA just revived the threat of a righteous recall!

It's getting to be time to revive both impeachment AND recall on EVERY insolent prig that holds office in this state and in the nation!!!
