@ Steve, Re. constitutional process. The issue here is nuanced. By definition of a constitutional and democratic process, the people elect a representative, a President. This is the person who receives the duty to express the will of the people with determined policies, usually reiterated during the candidacy process.

Sometimes judges will interfere with this process, with decisions that are against the public interest, against the will of the people, with a visible bias.

That is what has happened in the case of the judge who wanted to take those murderers back to the USA

That is also what is happening in Italy, some judges who are declaredly followers of determined political parties will make their best to counteract the decisions of the government, which has been elected by the people. In contrast, the judges have not been elected by the people.

The bottom line is that judges should exhibit total impartiality and show a lack of bias in their decisions following the rules of their duty. Some of'em don't do that. These deserve to be impeached, it's not an issue of queens and kings, it's an issue of democracy.
