Pepperdine Professors Kmiec and Scarberry on impeachment

"Interestingly, Massachusetts judges are also subject to removal under a procedure known as a bill of address. The Massachusetts legislature can remove renegade judges from office by a simple majority in both legislative chambers with the concurrence of the governor and his advisory council. Under the bill of address, the legislative and executive branches need not specify the grounds of removal at all."

It would amuse the hell out of me if the Goodridge authors were impeached by some obscure legal principle that would not have been unearthed but for the decision.
