Impeachment is for "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors". The courts themselves have said that "other high Crimes and Misdemeanors" covers anything that Congress sees fit to convict an impeached official on. That doesn't mean that it should cover merely exceeding the scope of a judge's authority, but my point was just that the parent comment was wrong.
