Democrat Seeks to Punish Chief Justice Roberts With Impeachment

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is facing a new impeachment resolution introduced by Rep. Steve Cohen, a Democrat from Tennessee.

Cohen unveiled the long-shot effort on Thursday after previously announcing he would not seek reelection, amid a rapidly shifting political landscape following a major Supreme Court of the United States ruling in late April that significantly narrowed the scope of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

As of now, the impeachment resolution has attracted no co-sponsors.

With Republicans narrowly controlling the House, the measure is not expected to move forward,
