    And in the case of this state Supreme Court Justice, it’s not even “get you fired.” Republicans know that their firing effort will fail, but until the state Senate holds the hearing the Justice isn’t allowed to rule on cases.

    So Republicans aren’t even firing this justice, but putting her in limbo until the cases that the Republicans want are decided. Only after those cases are decided in the Republicans’ favor will they drop the impeachment charges.

    Of course, if this is successful, all they need to do is impeach justices to ensure favorable results any time a case comes up that threatens Republican power. Impeach enough left leaning justices and the Republicans could even ensure a hard right verdict.
