West Virginia House Votes to Impeach Walker, Loughry, Davis & Workman
WOWK ^ | 08/14/18

Posted on 08/14/2018 7:46:52 AM PDT by Enlightened1

UPDATE (11:50 PM 8/13/18):

The West Virginia House of Delegates has impeached all four of the state's Supreme Court justices.

The Republican-led House on Monday night impeached Justice Beth Walker and the other justices for abusing their authority. The article says they failed to control office expenses and not maintaining policies over important matters such as working lunches, the use of state vehicles and office computers at home.

Walker was the last of the four justices to be impeached. She had avoided impeachment earlier when the House voted not to pass an article against her for $131,000 in renovations she made after taking office last year.

Suspended Justice Allen Loughry, Chief Justice Margaret Workman and Justice Robin Davis also were impeached.

Loughry was suspended earlier this year and has pleaded not guilty to a 23-count federal indictment.

Actually only three of the five will face impeachment since Robin Davis resigned from the court (effective today) to avoid facing impeachment and Menis Ketchum resigned on 7/11/18 in order to plead guilty on 7/31/18 to a single felony count of wire fraud in a plea bargain

This is actually a GREAT example of a legislature exercising its constitutionally mandated oversight role over a judiciary that was clearly out of control and believed it, and its spending, answered to no one.

The “2017-2018 expenses scandal” section of the wiki site

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Appeals_of_West_Virginia

gives a pretty good synopsis.

Amazing, how that works sometimes before trials and even after the jury has been impaneled.

Actually Davis resigned yesterday 8/13/18, just gave her speech today. WVMetroNews said that by doing this, she is eligible to run for the court again this November.

Ya just can’t make this $#!t up.

This sounds like an interesting turn of events. We need more details.

Agree, and will be watching this one for developments.

Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court needs to be next. They flipped at least two congressional seats to the Democrats by redrawing boundaries earlier this year. Possibly as many as 4-6.

I see you're too much of a coward to say what state you're in (insanity) on your "about" page.

As one of your "losers who live and vote in W. Va" let me say... mettilo dove il sole non splende
