In Wisconsin, the Republicans there want to impeach a state supreme court justice before she takes office, not because she's done anything wrong but because she might rule in a way that they don't like.

Republicans threaten to impeach newly elected Wisconsin supreme court judge
Smarting after Janet Protasiewicz’s election to the state’s highest court, Republicans are now changing tack to challenge Democrats
Republicans in Wisconsin are threatening to remove from office the newly elected state supreme court justice Janet Protasiewicz if she refuses to recuse herself from cases involving gerrymandering. The effort comes on the heels of Republicans in the state senate advancing a move to oust the state’s top elections official.
The efforts to remove Protasiewicz and the Wisconsin elections commission administrator, Meagan Wolfe, from office have been decried by Democrats and government watchdog groups as undemocratic and could affect the administration of elections in 2024.
It reeks of being a desperate ploy to retain their power there; anti-democracy and utterly craven but understandable - desperate ploys are the only thing they have left.
On the other hand, D.C. Republicans are just *petty*.

‘They did it to me': Trump says Biden impeachment inquiry might be motivated by revenge
Trump told former Fox and NBC host Megyn Kelly that GOP attempts to indict Joe Biden could be next.
Former President Donald Trump has “no idea” whether Republicans will vote to impeach President Joe Biden.
But he does have a theory on what motivated House Republicans to launch a Biden impeachment inquiry: revenge.
Cheeto did get one major thing wrong - he did it to himself.
If he wasn't a crook who fomented treason, he wouldn't have been impeached or indicted.
But acknowledging that wouldn't comport with his self-image of victimhood.
