Pennsylvania Chief Justice Criticizes Impeachment Moves

The impeachment resolutions, introduced by a Republican lawmaker, follow a tense battle over the commonwealth’s redrawn congressional map, which the Democratic-majority court imposed after declaring the previous map unconstitutionally gerrymandered to favor Republicans.

Chief Justice Thomas Saylor, himself a Republican, said he was “very concerned” about the filings.

“Threats of impeachment directed against Justices because of their decision in a particular case are an attack upon an independent judiciary, which is an essential component of our constitutional plan of government,” he wrote in a statement.
