Albert Henry Walker fears that the independence of the federal judiciary can lead to irresponsible behavior as federal judges can only be removed through impeachment. He suggests that federal judges should be able to be recalled similar to the plan for state judges in Arizona. He supports his suggestion with the case of Judge Henry W.
