Post-CJP report, what happens next?

Today's DJ has Special masters report on Justice Johnson leaves areas to continue fight, says attorney -- In the wake of a 316-page special masters' report issued by the Commission on Judicial Performance on Friday, speculation has grown that Johnson might be the first California justice ordered off the bench in more than 40 years.
In the previous case of a justice being removed from the bench, a panel of appellate court colleagues ordered California Supreme Court Justice Marshall F. McComb removed from office due to "senile dementia" in 1977 after the CJP recommended his removal. In 2017, 6th District Court of Appeal Presiding Justice Conrad L. Rushing resigned from office in the face of sexual harassment allegations and a Judicial Council investigation.
