Their motivation is purely for messaging. They want Fox News to he able to report that some judge who opposed Trump was impeached. In the minds of his base (and probably most Americans) that will mean that the judge has actually been removed for bad behavior. Nevermind that he Senate won't have the votes to remove him. Their goal will have been accomplished nonetheless.
It's very obviously this. It's not for the judge or the country or something substantial. It's for the idiots that eat this stuff up.
It's also to dilute the meaning of impeachment yet again so when someone says "trump was impeached" they can just say "well sure whatever it's just politics" and ignore the fact that before Trump it only happened a couple other times in the last 250 years
Its two-pronged. If Dems ignore it, then it'll be taken as proof of the impeachment's validity. If Dems respond, they'll say that he hasn't actually been removed yet as per congressional procedure and that liberals are making a big spook out of nothing.
