Old US law books confirm 300-year history of removing judges w/o impeachment, thru quo warranto


It appears that expulsion of a judge through quo warranto proceedings finds support in history. The writ of scire facias was created in 1285 during the 13th year of the reign of Edward I by the English Parliament in the Second Statute of Westminster. The writ of quo warranto was created during this same period. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scire_facias)

Proceedings in scire facias were regarded as a form of action, and the defendant could plead his defense as in an action.* They were analogous to quo warranto proceedings.**
