Specifically, we believe that Judge Richard Posner of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, via both his actions on the bench and public statements, has demonstrated that he is unfit to sit in judgement of his fellow citizens and should be removed from the bench by act of Congress.
We further note that Congress has been woefully inadequate in restraining the federal judiciary in general, permitting jurists to investigate themselves via the Judicial Conference of the United States on matters of corruption both public and private and otherwise granting themselves powers and favors more fitting titled royalty than the servants of a constitutional Republic under the rule of law.

The momentum is undeniable now. Congress has to notice this level of public unrest.

I value the United States Constitution and I am appalled that a judge could state he sees no value in spending any time studying it as it is the very instrument (Article III) that gives him power.
I just read his statement regarding the Constitution and my jaw dropped. He has just violated his oath as a judge and is unfit to serve.
His comments about the Constitution in Slate render him unqualified to interpret it.
How dare this userper take an oath to uphold the constitution of the United States and yet state that it is perfectly fine (even desirable) for judges to “ignore” constitutional text.
The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. To publicly call for ignoring the constitution as a Federal judge is a prima facia case for immediate removal from office. He should note that his very office derives its legitimacy from the document he finds obsolete.
Monstrous disgust has nothing to due with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
Does not deserve the position under our constitution

Impeachment is congress's only check against abusive judges. Now is the time to use it.
