Two members of the advisory body for the federal judiciary warned Tuesday about Congress turning to impeachment of judges if lawmakers are unhappy with decisions.
Four impeachment resolutions have been filed against three judges this year, after rulings that temporarily paused or slowed President Donald Trump’s efforts to reshape the federal government.
Since 1803, only 15 judges have faced impeachment, the last in 2010 on charges of accepting bribes and making false statements under penalty of perjury, according to the Federal Judicial Center.
