Cruz demands impeachment of Boasberg and judge who sentenced Kavanaugh’s attempted assassinSen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Wednesday called on Congress during a Senate hearing to impeach two federal judges, making his most elaborate case yet for imposing the extraordinary sanction on a pair of closely scrutinized jurists.
Cruz acknowledged that impeaching federal judges is exceedingly rare — 15 have been impeached in history, typically for straightforward crimes like bribery — but the Texas Republican argued it was warranted for Judges James Boasberg and Deborah Boardman.
"Rarer still, until now, were the deeper offenses the framers feared most, judges who, without necessarily breaking a criminal statute, violate the public trust, subvert the constitutional order or wield their office in ways that injure society itself," Cruz said. "That is why, throughout history, Congress recognized that impeachable misconduct need not be criminal."..............
