According to Slate in the below article

Lisa Graves is urging impeachment proceedings of a sitting judge. I agree that Kavanaugh should be impeached but it it unlikely to happen (for the same reasons tRump isn't being impeached). The impeachment process is described here

But maybe there is something else that can be done and that is by filing a complaint against a judge for judicial misconduct.

One example of misconduct is "engaging in partisan political activity or making inappropriately partisan statements." I just haven't figured out who would be the best party or parties to file such a complaint/s.
Any thoughts?

So....
