      First.. if it does NOT reach the level  ..

      "§ 25 Removal of judges from office.
      Sec. 25. For reasonable cause, which is not sufficient ground for impeachment, the governor
      shall remove any judge on a concurrent resolution of two-thirds of the members elected to and
      serving in each house of the legislature. The cause for removal shall be stated at length in the
      resolution."

      However the impeachment is easy enough if there is a conviction:

      § 7 Impeachment of civil officers.
      Sec. 7. The house of representatives shall have the sole power of impeaching civil officers
      for corrupt conduct in office or for crimes or misdemeanors, but a majority of the members
      elected thereto and serving therein shall be necessary to direct an impeachment.
      Prosecution by 3 members of house of representatives.
      When an impeachment is directed, the house of representatives shall elect three of its
      members to prosecute the impeachment.
      Trial by senate; oath, presiding officer.
      Every impeachment shall be tried by the senate immediately after the final adjournment of
      the legislature. The senators shall take an oath or affirmation truly and impartially to try and
      determine the impeachment according to the evidence. When the governor or lieutenant
      governor is tried, the chief justice of the supreme court shall preside.
      Conviction; vote, penalty.
      No person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two-thirds of the senators elected
      and serving. Judgment in case of conviction shall not extend further than removal from office,
      but the person convicted shall be liable to punishment according to law.
      Judicial officers, functions after impeachment.
      No judicial officer shall exercise any of the functions of his office after an impeachment is
      directed until he is acquitted.
