SB 439 Specifies grounds for impeachment of Kansas Supreme Court justice and District Court judges chosen via merit / commission system to include «attempting to subvert fundamental laws and introduce arbitrary power, attempting to usurp the power of the legislative or executive branch of government, exhibiting wanton or
reckless judicial conduct.»
The Court specifically refused to extend liability to such situations, believing that the imposition of liability on social hosts for wilful, wanton, or
reckless conduct was a matter of social policy on which the Supreme
Judicial Court had deferred to the Legislature.
