Democrat Seeks to Punish Chief Justice Roberts With Impeachment

Cohen said in a statement announcing the resolution that Roberts has led the court to be “understood as biased: with decisions designed to benefit Republicans at the expense of representative government, seemingly contradictory and unexplained orders, and a pattern of ethical breaches that raises questions about the role of the wealthy.”

“I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that while John Roberts remains Chief Justice, correcting this misconduct and ensuring the Justices and the Court itself comply with their legal obligations will be impossible,” Cohen, whose seat is going to be redrawn out of existence by the Tennessee Legislature, said.

In recent years, the Supreme Court has pivoted significantly to constitutional originalism following the appointments of three justices during President Donald Trump’s first term.
