    Cool WINNING: All of West Virginia's Supreme Court justices impeached over spending



    CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia lawmakers completed the extraordinary move of impeaching all four state Supreme Court justices Monday night for spending issues, including a suspended justice facing a 23-count federal indictment.

    Beth Walker became the final justice to be impeached when an article was approved stating all four justices abused their authority. It said they failed to control office expenses, including more than $1 million in renovations to their individual offices, and not maintaining policies over matters such as working lunches and the use of state vehicles and office computers at home.

    Minority Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee that approved the articles last week had tried to speed up the impeachment process in the hopes of beating an Aug. 14 deadline for arranging a special election in November if any justice is removed from office or leaves office. Instead, the committee took its time, even conducting a tour of the state Supreme Court offices earlier this month.

    Republican Gov. Jim Justice will be allowed to appoint new justices to replace any who are impeached — with no requirement that they be from the same party as the incumbent. Democrats have accused Republicans of attempting to wrest the court away from voters, who elected the current justices in nonpartisan elections.

    This is what corruption and abuse of power looks like. Republicans are the most corrupt people on Earth, they don't want the people to have a say. They require 100% control and power of all parts of the government. And they wait until the minute after deadline to remove corrupt officials just to deprive the voters of a say on their replacements. Allowing corrupt officials to stay in office so that they can have more power. Sickening. Sickening. Disgusting.

    It would be nice if it were "one" party or the "other" instead of the entire system wouldn't it.

    It is one party. The Republican party. Remove the Republican party, remove corruption. This is not a both sides thing. This is a one side thing.

    The impeachment process isn't used nearly enough in my opinion. Judges are by far the easiest to remove and should be done at all levels when the continue to make judgments that are inconsistent with their mandates.

    I can't imagine living someplace where a million dollars for office renovations is considered excessive spending.

    Fucking "Deliverance" country.

    I wish that New England, New York, and the West Coast didn't have to share a government with pathetic crackers like this.
