 Regent University School of Law, Law Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
No, the reason the majority whip targeted these specific judges for impeachment was because he and other members of Congress disagreed with one specific decision rendered by each of the judges.
The only honest answer is that an impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history; conviction results from whatever offense or offenses two-thirds of the other body considers to be sufficiently serious to require removal of the accused from office.
Under the authoritative construction by the highest court of impeachment, the Senate of the United States, a high misdemeanor for which a judge may be removed is misconduct involving bad faith or wantoness [sic] or recklessness in his judicial actions, or in the use of his official influence for ulterior purposes.

Certainly, when both houses of the state legislature, by overwhelming and bi-partisan votes, and the governor ask the United States House of Representatives to investigate these matters because they are convinced that a federal judge is a tyrant in their midst, that judge is a good candidate for an impeachment inquiry.
Article III of the Constitution states that "[t]he judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."

His goals as whip are to get the votes needed to pass the ambitious GOP legislative agenda in the House and to get the money necessary to reelect Republicans—and he did not acquire his nickname by failing.
Although the GOP has its first majority in the House since 1954, it is by no means a cinch for DeLay to round up the necessary 218 votes to pass legislation.
