Ready To Rumble

Well, I'm back, as promised, and already disagreeing with ColumbusGuy (who did step up admirably while I was gone).

Here's a bit from his discussion about impeaching judges: "It's one thing to maintain judicial independence; it's another to enable judicial incompetence...."

We have an obvious solution for incompetent legislators, but federal judges are there for life. I think there's a reason for that. In fact, I don't see how you can maintain independence without protection for the incompetent, since impeachment for incompetence would soon collapse into impeachment over disagreement.
