re: Federal judges can be impeached/removed for "abuse of power"

I don't like impeaching judges for decisions that we disagree with. An independent judiciary is a key part of our government. The risk of rogue district judges are why we have appeals courts, and rogue appeals courts, the supreme court. Traditionally, effective impeachment has been reserved for unethical activity, like the former Judge Porteous. If nothing else, at least let the case run through the entire court system before impeachment even enters the discussion.
