Removing a Judge from office is not a new, radical idea. Thirteen times in our nation’s history, federal Judges have been impeached and removed from office. The impeachment charges have ranged from bringing the court into disrepute, to abuse of power, to unlawful rulings.
All Judges swear an an oath to uphold the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land. It’s spelled out in the Constitution in Article Six. Yet, rather than upholding the Constitution, some Judges are using their gavel to legislate radical political views. That power is not granted to them by the Constitution. If any Judge tries to make the Constitution say something
other than what its framers intended, or tries to legislate law from the bench, it is permissible—legally--to impeach that Judge and remove him from office.
Article Three says that a federal Judge will serve during good behavior. It says that a Judge can be removed from office by impeachment by the House
of Representatives, followed by a trial in the Senate and a conviction of the charges.
Article Two, Section Four of the Constitution says, The President, Vice-President, and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
According to the Constitution, We, the People, have the authority to impeach and remove any Judge who is guilty of legislating from the bench. That Judge has broken his oath of office and can be removed. These activist Judges have taken power unto themselves because we’ve refused to stop them!
In law, treason is the crime of disloyalty to one’s nation or state. Reneging on a sworn oath of public office falls under that definition. In addition, legislating from the bench falls under the more broad definition of other high crimes and misdemeanors.
