We're the Only Ones Judgmental Enough

The chamber voted overwhelmingly to convict U.S. District Judge Thomas Porteous on four articles of impeachment stemming from corruption and perjury charges; on the first charge, involving corruption charges from his tenure as a state court judge, the vote was 96-0. [More]
I think I'm going to start using "porteous" as an adjective...

    Encouraging. Could we someday see judges impeached for unconstitutional rulings as well?

    Too bad they didn't prohibit Alcie Hastings from further US government offices like they did for Porteous.

    You may have two adjectives there, David; was the judge Hastingsed or Porteoused? Oh, wait, those are verbs aren't they.
