Agreed (with you) on all points. Voting on the articles of impeachment was swayed somewhat by Party affiliation, but in some cases Dems voted to impeach Dem judges, and for sure, often Pubs voted to impeach Pubs.
I suspect Judge Walker might (might) survive, as she is “new”, her infractions seem less egregious, and she was willing to meet with lawmakers in her office to explain her office’ renovations’ cost. The rest are, as I said here:

toast. And Justice Loughry is likely going to jail for a long time...
Good info, we cleared that up in the title.
Nah....cockless sounds better.
The crimes doesn’t shock me as they are the typical run of the mill crimes in West Virginia but I can’t figure out is what part of West Virginia are these justices from? Are they from my neck of the woods which is Southern end or are the majority of them from the upper part?
Allen Loughry......Tucker
Margaret Workman...Charleston
Robin Davis........Boone
Beth Walker........Charleston
Three women and a soon to be inmate.
When Roccus typed “Charleston” (the city where they’re from), the name of the county is “Kanawha.”
WV residents north of around Clarksburg tend to refer to Charleston and thereabouts as “downstate.” I’ve only passed through the WV state capitol city several times, and found it a rather provincial sort of town.
Ha ha,and hear hear!
At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account. ~ Thomas Jefferson, letter to Monsieur A. Coray, Oct 31, 1823
WHAT?!!!!
