Impeachment is always a political process, whatever the rules say are "valid" reasons for doing it. Just compare Clinton and Bush :/
I remembered the name: it's a "Bill of Address". The process is that the bill of address has to be passed by both houses, then IIRC the governor can send it to the governor's council (the body that approved judicial nominations in MA), and if they pass it too, the judges are removed. So, it requires that the house, senate, governor, and council, all approve it. Definitely a long shot even in much more favorable circumstances. This one won't get to Romney.
