then again I don't know if impeachments count into precedence
Judges should be able to be impeached FOR being political. It's the whole reason why they're Judges and their terms are for life.
if so then perjury is not an impeachable offense
than you Billy
?
Bill Clinton's impeachment case
Welcome, <@!248602935330603008>.
they ruled that perjury isn't enough of an offense to be impeachmment over
found it, the Samuel Chase impeachment trial
I was referring to Judges being removed/impeached for abiding to political influence
They are not suppose to be political in any way.
That's why they have the terms they have.
basically Samuel Chase was tried for ruling with political bais
Ohhh
I see now
He was the CJ for the Clinton trial
?
I honestly don't know who the CJ was at that time.
CJ?
Chief Justice.
yeah that guy
I spent ages combing through old records reading up on that case
William Rehnquist...He was CJ
yeah
During the Clinton Impeachment trial
sorry if I got confusing trying to info dump before work
overall the chase impeachment trials kinda make it hard to remove judges for political bias
Seems to me that in the Chase case, political bias wouldn't count under "high crimes and misdemeanors" and wasn't an "indictable offense".
Ideally, though, judges should be impartial...
Though I'm definitely not a lawyer just like legal smackdowns
Flynn did a doozy a few days ago
I honestly didn't keep up with it. What was the doozy?
The response just hammered the Amicus
Just read through the Case impeachment trial... yeah that doesn't just suck, it's actually scary.
And then cited the same judge that wrote it as to why everything should be dropped
I'll give this a read...

Still though, a Judge cannot use a prosecutor to give an anecdotal backlash and most certainly cannot ACT as a prosecutor. These 2 things are now textbook illegal and go into indictment territory. This Judge Sullivan is playing with fire.
The former of what I mentioned was ruled into law by the Surpreme Court about a month ago.
it's in the conclusion
