Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Per this annotated interpretation of the Constitution: "The type of behavior that qualifies as impeachable conduct, and the circumstances in which impeachment is an appropriate remedy for such actions, are thus determined by, among other things, competing political interests, changing institutional relationships among the three branches of government, and legislators' interaction with and accountability to the public.
45% : Trump posted on social media.
34% : Why impeachment wouldn't work in the Senate If the House were to vote to impeach a federal judge, it would require 2/3 of the senators present to vote for conviction, and there is no chance that would happen if the judges were impeached for overturning a policy decision made by President Trump.
31% : Some trials are contained just on the Senate floor, like the two impeachment trials of Trump.
28% : Supreme Court Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement afterward, rebuking Trump and his allies for going after judges who rule against the administration.
21% : The attacks on the judiciary by Donald Trump and his allies have increased in recent days, with calls to impeach a judge who ruled against the president on deportations.
