Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This resolution would impeach Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. and send six articles of impeachment to the Senate for trial. The articles charge that he allowed the Supreme Court to act in a partisan way in election and redistricting cases, and that rulings he wrote or joined on redistricting, campaign finance, and presidential immunity violated his oath. They also charge that the Court's use of unexplained emergency orders was arbitrary under his leadership. The final article charges that he failed to recuse himself from cases involving law firms that paid his spouse recruiting fees and failed to disclose related assets. The resolution states that he should be removed from office and barred from holding any future federal office.
