West Virginia Supreme Court Halts Impeachment Trial

October 11, 2018 at 8:13 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Acting justices on the state Supreme Court issued a ruling to block the impeachment trial of Justice Margaret Workman, putting the legislative and judicial branches of West Virginia’s state government in direct conflict,” West Virginia Metro News reports.

From the ruling: “This case is not about whether or not a justice of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia can or should be impeached; but rather it is about the fact that to do so, it must be done correctly and constitutionally with due process. We are a nation of laws and not of men, and the rule of law must be followed.”
