IMPEACHMENT! Senate Begins Impeachment On Judicial Council Member
Ten members of the Senate signed on to begin impeachment proceedings against JCouncil member Jessica Unterhalter. That means they will attempt to have the actual hearing at next week's Senate meeting.

A contingent of grad students showed up to the Senate meeting tonight, and were pissed off. They railed against due process violations, claimed the Judicial Council abused its power, and in a remarkable showing of bipartisan unity, Student Action and CalSERVE came together to support this impeachment effort. (SQUELCH! Senator Narodick, oftentime the lone voice of reason, opposed this effort, most obviously because no specific charges were mentioned, and no justification was given as to what Unterhalter did that warranted the impeachment proceeding.)

My guess is that anger over this dissipates over time, and the Senate realizes the horrible precedent it would set to remove a justice for making a decision they disagreed with. [If there is more to the impeachment than what was brought up at the meeting (general discontent over Unterhalter's last minute decision to prevent Misha's EO from taking effect), then I will reevaluate my tentative support to keeping Unterhalter on the council.]
