More seriously, the process is the same as to impeach the President. File articles of impeachment in the House, pass committee, pass the rules committee, pass the House floor, hold a trial in the Senate, and get 2/3 of Senators to convict.
In the meantime, this man enjoys absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for his judicial acts.
It’s things like this that make people say Luigi is a saint. There are people just clearly doing awful things with immunity, and there’s no lawful mechanisms to deal with it.
This is why confining the scope of your actions to be within the bounds of law that was specifically written to disenfranchise you from your political will and make you subservient to the whims of the owning class is fallacy at best.
The process is only the same because Congress hasn’t bothered to make it easier.
With a majority sufficient to prevail in impeachment Congress can literally remove any judge from any position for any reason they feel like saying is a “high crime or misdemeanor.” They’re not actually bound by common law or jurisprudence or statute in this, since impeachment of anyone but POTUS is a purely congressional act that cannot be appealed.
Without that level of supermajority, however, a simple majority act of Congress signed by the president can restructure or constrain any court in the country, including SCOTUS, by making structural or regulatory changes or just defining what “good Behavior” means with, at worst, a jury trial.
We don’t see the Republicans doing this because the current court is the one they want. But if Hillary Clinton had nominated three justices who were so brazenly corruot the GOP would have overturned Marbury v. Madison if that’s what it would take to remove them.
That’s the fun part… You don’t!
