On March 22, the Kansas State Senate passed Senate Bill 439, which effectively expands the scope of impeachment in such a way that the state legislature could remove state supreme court justices merely because they disagree with these judge’s decisions.

Like the United States Constitution, the Kansas Constitution currently allows the legislature to impeach government officials for “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”  Kansas Const. Art. II § 28.  Judicial officers fall within this ambit; in fact, at least for the United States, most impeachments have been of judges.
