Is LCannon impeachable?
For what she did in this case? Absent evidence of an envelope of greenbacks or other bribe, absolutely not. And properly so.
Now, it's true that impeachability is ultimately a political test. Whether a public official should be impeached depends on whether a majority of the House of Representatives believe it's appropriate, and whether the official should be convicted depends on whether 2/3 of the Senate wants to convict.
However, assuming that Congress exercises its power in a reasonable and just manner, it would never impeach a judge for a single bad decision.
The 11th Circuit's decision was, in its quiet way, scathing. We'll have to be content with that.
