I'd argue the only judges making political rulings are the likes of Kacsmaryk, Alito, and Thomas. The mental gymnastics they use to work backwards to justify their predetermined rulings are insane and Kacsmaryk has been their go to for judge shopping.
I love the few comments I see about this topic going "Well the liberals tried to do it too with Thomas!" as if there isn't a very blatant corruption scandal from him receiving expensive gifts from people who have a stake in the rulings Thomas makes.
Edit: I somehow forgot Cannon, the biggest political hack judge in the country.
Since January 2021, the leading Representative filing articles of impeachment is Marjorie Taylor Greene, who filed articles against Joe Biden five times, Alejandro Mayorkas (DHS Secretary) and Merrick Garland twice, and Matthew Graves (US Attorney for DC) and Chris Wray (FBI Director) once each. That's a total of 11 articles of impeachment filed, of which, only one was passed by the House (Mayorkas). And that one was shot down in the Senate for not rising to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors.
The #2 representative for filing articles of impeachment is Lauren Boebert, with three, two against Joe Biden and one against Kamala Harris. None were acted upon.
In the last month alone, Republicans have sought to impeach three judges - Paul Englemeyer twice (SDNY), Amir Ali (DCDC), John Bates (DCDC). Prior to that, since 2021, the only other articles of impeachment that pop up are ones AOC filed against both Alito and Thomas.
I remember a very vocal minority of some more progressive house dems were calling for her impeachment but nothing material.
If I remember correctly they were asking for her to recuse from the case which she obviously didn't do, it's such a blatant violation of conflict of interest she should have been impeached in my opinion.
I am against this administration, but I gotta say... Thats law period
Its all just mental gymnastics of language. Only an idealistic sucker would think that's not true.
Its all a game of whos more clever. Its about bending a persons view to something you want it to be by cleverly bending morality through language.
Until that snake either meets the hard wall of a judge or jurys bottom line convictions or prevails in convincing someone enough and time runs out and/or the other party has no other strategy.
