I suppose a violation of known ethics of your local bar association also rise to the leve of potential disbarment or impeachment, but such would have to be with notice and warning, so for all practical purposes, the only sitting judges I know of that have been impeached have been first convicted of crimes.

As a policy rule, you couldn't allow vague generalities to suffice to remove potentially unpopular judges. I'm uncomfortable with that standard.
