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 context in which the interaction between the parties is to occur clearly goes beyond that of «negotiation and mediation pursuant to a «special» process provided under the Act», (57) to a process whereby the State itself appears to
usurp the Federal Court's
judicial power under s 94A, that is, that the State can make a judgment on whether the claimants have established the elements of s 225.
