what a state

[Dr. Arch]

Whew lad

[ND, SD, MT, WY, and ID statehood was and is unconstitutional]

What exactly did the state supreme court do that bothered the legislature?

Looks like a ton of corruption investigations/indictments

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Yeah Ojeda was ranting about this one female justice a few months ago  and I think she's a dem, and she totally did like a super expensive and unnecessary renovation and new furniture for her office thag costs hundreds of thousands, and tens of thousand for stupid sh!t like chairs and desks and blinds and stuff.

Remember, Trump won West Virginia by 42%.

The actual motivation here is that Democrats were set to enjoy a one-seat majority.

Yep, shameless powergrab by the GOP under the guise of good government, the timeframe is more than convenient because Justice gets to appoint every replacement. A few months ago it would've just been a special election to replace.

They need Don Blankenship!

Pretty much. Going after the one guy under federal indictment is worthwhile, but to go after the rest for arguably overdoing it on the renovation costs is weak tea.

Is this a court packing scheme?

[Adam Griffin]

All of West Virginia's Supreme Court justices impeached over spending

Republicans at maximum corruption since Nixon, except now it's widespread.

[IceSpear]

Racist WV Hicks will overwhelmingly support this.

You get the government you deserve.

[Santander]

You get the government you deserve.

The people are worse.

Early congratulations to the four coal corporation lawyers about to be gift-wrapped these seats.

[IceSpear]

But but muh Dems better not ever pack the Supreme Court

Lol, good catch. I wonder how the moderate heroes will reconcile this one.

[falling apart like the ashes of American flags]

One of the Democrats resigned to force an election instead of appointment.

Interesting move.
I think today is the deadline (correct?)
How many of the justices were left leaning, and how many were right?

[falling apart like the ashes of American flags]

2 Democrats, 2 Republicans. A third Democrat was already removed from the Court for other offenses.

It should be clear they are all guilty scumbag (Richard Ojeda has been one of their biggest critics), but that doesn't make this not a blatant power grab.

I hope the Democrats in the U.S Senate are taking notes.  Especially Justice Gorsuch has committed a number of impeachable offenses.

Can you give an example?

He probably sent some emails about Benghazi. And even if he didn't, I bet he can't prove he didn't. Impeachment! (Just holding him to established GOP standards here.)
