Judge William Pryor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ed. note<\/u>: Welcome to our daily feature, Quote of the Day<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

All the chief justice did, I thought modestly and appropriately, was to point out the unbroken tradition in American history that we don\u2019t impeach judges for decisions that are unpopular or that we may think are wrong or right, whatever it may be, wrong, controversial<\/strong>. \u2026<\/p>\n

We have a remedy for correcting decisions that we may think are wrong. But that process is not impeachment, it\u2019s an appeal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014 Chief U.S. Circuit Judge\u00a0William Pryor<\/a>\u00a0of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, in comments noted by Reuters<\/a> that he gave during a recent appearance on Yale Law School professor Akhil Amar\u2019s podcast \u201cAmarica\u2019s Constitution,\u201d<\/a> where he reiterated his support for Chief Justice John Roberts, who weighed in on President Donald Trump\u2019s calls to impeach<\/a> D.C.\u2019s Chief District Judge Jeb Boasberg, by saying, \u201cFor more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
