Instapundit just doesn't get it. It may not be politically correct to call for judicial impeachment based on a judges view of written laws, but in a system of checks and balances, it's the only limitation to judicial power. Everytime a judge issues an order affecting a governmental body, that judge is assuming power over that governmental body. Sometimes it is a reasonable and easily justifiable assertion, such forcing compliance with the laws passed by a higher governing body. But each time that a federal judge ignores congress, or a state judge ignores their state legislature, that judge is taking power from a duly elected body and retaining it within the judiciary.
Since judges have taken it upon themselves to re-write or negate laws written by elected bodies at or above their level, most notably by federal and state supreme courts but also commonly done by other federal judges, the only way the public can force a change in judicial interpretations or precedent is to force an elected body to impeach those judges. Anything else can be pounded out of existence by a judge's gavel.
Most elected officials are just as ignorant of the constitution as judges are, but we can vote those bastards out. Judges probably won't get impeached for tyranny for a while, but the public needs to know the option is open. We may not be lawyers, but we're not slaves of lawyers either.
Goe, a free man.
