Trump's call to impeach judges is a threat to the constitutional order.

Sign up for the Slatest to get the most insightful analysis, criticism, and advice out there, delivered to your inbox daily. Together, the threats of presidential defiance and congressional impeachment constitute a dangerous attack on the independent judiciary’s power to constrain executive branch action within the limits of statutory and constitutional law. The constitutional standard for removal of judges is the same as for executive branch officers—whether they committed “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Related From Slate Lawyers Can Slow a Trump Dictatorship. The primary example is Judge John Pickering, who was impeached, convicted, and removed in 1804—nominally for improper rulings, drunkenness, and blasphemy, but actually because he was severely mentally ill. With the exception of Judge Pickering and Judge Mark H. Delahay, who was impeached in 1873 for being habitually drunk on the bench and resigned before he could be tried in the Senate, all 11 successful removals by impeachment of judges have involved charges of treason, corruption, perjury, or other ordinary crimes. First, the House of Representatives is now controlled by a Republican majority which seems perfectly prepared to investigate and indeed impeach officials it does not like regardless of whether they have engaged in conduct remotely approximating “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” In February 2024, House Republicans impeached Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, although the Senate refused to consider the matter.
