West Virginia's Entire Supreme Court Impeached
Summary from the AllSides News Team
The entire West Virginia Supreme Court has been impeached by the state's House of Delegates, citing excessive spending. While no one has defended the lavish expenditures, some have likened the move to a coup executed by the Republican-controlled legislature in order to allow the sitting GOP governor, Jim Justice, to replace several Democrats on the high court.
