I'm not surprised that there's a method for "impeaching" judges, but I'm surprised that the way it gets done is to pass a specific law.
Or is it not that the law would directly remove the judges, but that it would add to what is "impeachable", on the expectation that the governor would then go ahead and remove them?
Even then, it seems utterly bizarre that you could make a particular *ruling* into an "impeachable" offense.
But I obviously don't know much of anything about the rules involved here.
