I guess its plausible and also being done with the usual playbook of putting something out there that initially appears unlikely but by the time they get to the place they can implement it the public has accepted it as "normal." The R candidate claims he is talking about impeaching the county judges (of which she is one) and others who have "failed" at their job - and Rs have been agitating about getting rid of the the District Attorney for a while now. But to impeach a newly elected Supreme Court Judge by claiming she has "failed" before she has made any decisions? He says he has not ruled this out - but I hope it just more agitprop to try to drive their base to the polls rather than a serious threat.
Good point about softening the ground. They push the boundaries so often and so hard that the overton window shifts and makes what was previously unthinkable acceptable (and a sign of 'strength')
