When tar and feathers ain't good enough

by Smitty (h/t Scott W. Graves)

Scott points to a Washington Times article about a Federal judge who could well be impeached:

As Congress wrapped up several weeks of evidence-gathering hearings this week, legal experts who testified before a House task force suggested Judge Porteous is a clear candidate to become just the eighth federal judge in U.S. history to be impeached and convicted by Congress. Lawmakers appear poised to take their advice and bring charges early next year, setting up a historic trial in the Senate.

An early draft copy of the article I saw* also quoted Nancy Pelosi as saying "If he wants to be that sort of jackass, he'd better get himself elected."

Stacy has brought up the notion of tar & feathers, recently, for other officials. But is this too much of a touchy-feely, nice guy approach? Maybe we should blow by medieval and go truly olim schola:

Of course, the irony of the 111th Congress discussing impeachment of anyone is not lost.
