CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The West Virginia House of Delegates wants the U.S. Supreme Court to take a look at an opinion that put a stop to impeachment trials against justices of the state Supreme Court of Appeals.
House Speaker Roger Hanshaw, R-Clay, announced Tuesday evening that the House filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court asking the court to review the decision made by an all-appointed panel of circuit court judges in October.
“We have said since October that a strict reading of that opinion removes virtually all of the Constitutional checks and balances we have on the judicial branch of government,”Hanshaw said.
