The only case I can recall of where CA Supreme Court justices were 'punished' for their decisions was the case of Chief Justice Rose Bird, and two other justices, Justice Reynoso and Justice Grodin, all appointees of Gov. Jerry Brown, who were turned out for their repeated overturning of death penalty convictions in 1986. In that sense, it wasn't because of one decision that they were turned out, but because of repeatedly making the same decision over and over again. Chief Justice Bird, for example, voted to overturn every single one of the 68 death penalty convictions that reached her court. Until the day she was turned out she remained defiant in her attitudes towards the death penalty. One certainly has to admire her consistency and sense of principle, even if one differs with her conclusions.
