How? Judges don’t serve at the whim of the POTUS as they are appointed for life. Is he planning on impeachments?

as they are appointed for life.

Ever actually read the Constitution? They are not appointed for life in the Constitution, any more than separation of church and state is in the Constitution.

Federal judges shouldn't be allowed to make sh*t up, either.

I do not know the specifics, but I'm sure the founders provided a process whereby a lifetime-appointed judge going off the rails can be removed, and if the president wants to head up such an effort, that fine with me.

And these guys are going off the rails.

You obviously don’t know much about the Koran. It is explicit that a woman’s testimony is worth only one-half of a man’s testimony, thus it would take the testimony of two to three women to win against a man in a Sharia court. Therefore a woman who is raped must have a number of eyewitnesses to the act, otherwise she is simply ruled an adulterer and is subject to being stoned to death. I lived in Jordan for two years (1975 to 1977) and I know this to be true.

All federal courts with the exception of the Supreme Court are a creature of the Congress. Go read the Constitution if you don't believe me! The Congress could abolish the 10th Circuit Court, merge with another district or do whatever it decides. Like call the judges in to explain themselves, even impeach, Remember impeachment is NOT a criminal indictment, the reasons for impeachment can involve criminal activity but it doesn't have to be. It's a removal from office for failure in that office. Failure being whatever a higher authority like the US Congress over the lower federal courts define that failure to be.

Yes, Gingrich was talking about impeachment of federal judges, where justified.

[PapaNew]

Is he planning on impeachments?

Why not? The Constitution says judges may remain as long as they remain on good behavior. I've long said that "good behavior" means preserving, protecting, and defending the U. S. Constitution and if any federal judge is found to have clearly and repeatedly ignored or wrested the text or best original good-faith understanding of the Constitution, he is NOT on good behavior and may be impeached.

That’s exactly what he’s planning...
