Preserve judicial independence, reject impeachment as political weapon

Seeking to impeach judges who issue rulings one disagrees with represents an alarming attack on judicial independence and the rule of law. Rather than undermining the checks and balances at the heart of American democracy, we should respect court decisions even when we disagree with them. Impeachment must remain an extraordinary remedy for truly egregious misconduct by judges, not a political weapon to wield against unfavorable rulings. I urge you to firmly reject any efforts to impeach judges merely for upholding their constitutional duties according to their best interpretation of the law. Protecting judicial independence safeguards liberty for all Americans.
