    Knew who the judge was without having to look. This piece of shit needs to be removed. Can US Circuit court judges be impeached?

      Absolutely. Any federal judge can theoretically be impeached, it just very rarely happens. 15 times to be exact.

      Fifteen federal judges have been impeached. Of those fifteen: eight were convicted by the Senate, four were acquitted by the Senate, and three resigned before an outcome at trial. Source
