17. Does anyone think they will actually have widespread impeachment of judges? That seems truly insane.

I don't know how the Kansas Constitution is written but they could just start impeaching people for no real reason. I just don't know if 2/3 of the Kansas Senate is crazy enough to go alone with that. But that almost seems like were we are going. They impeach judges and then have Chairman Brownback appoint some tea-party dodo in their place.
