This Is What the Democrats’ Push to Impeach Chief Justice Roberts Is Really Abouthttps://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/05/23/this-is-what-the-democrats-push-to-impeach-chief-justice-roberts-is-really-about-n4953173Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) filed an impeachment resolution Thursday against Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. I guess we should just add it to the pile of impeachment resolutions Democrats have filed against President Donald Trump and members of his administration, right?
Cohen has represented Tennessee's 9th Congressional District for years, but he's retiring after Tennessee Republicans redrew his seat following a late-April Supreme Court ruling declaring racial gerrymandering unconstitutional. Rather than accept the outcome, Cohen decided to go out with a fire-sale grievance tour, targeting the most consequential figure in American law.
In announcing the resolution, Cohen said, "I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that while John Roberts remains Chief Justice, correcting this misconduct and ensuring the Justices and the Court itself comply with their legal obligations will be impossible."
...
Take Article I, which accuses Roberts of allowing the court to become "a political instrument" through its handling of election and redistricting cases. This is rich coming from a party that spent decades running to the courts to block policies it couldn't kill through legislation, and to impose policies it couldn't pass through Congress. It’s funny how when the courts were a rubber stamp for the left, they were oracles of justice. Now that they're not, they're corrupt.
Article II claims Roberts "entrenched minority rule" through decisions that have enabled partisan gerrymandering. Cute story. Remind me again which party aggressively gerrymandered blue states for decades? Oh right.
Dems trying to make rulings that they disagree with an impeachable offense? How ... unsurprising.
Ironically (Karmically?) the R who might be replacing (white) Cohen is black (who, like other black Reps, almost certainly will be banned from the "Congressional Black Caucus").
