Sign the petition: Stop GOP power grab in Pennsylvania to impeach supreme court justices
Pennsylvania state legislature
In a stunning display of contempt for democracy and the rule of law, Pennsylvania Republican state Rep. Cris Dush has introduced a resolution to impeach the state Supreme Court justices who struck down the GOP’s congressional gerrymander and replaced it with a much fairer map for the 2018 elections.
This maneuver comes just a day after the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously rejected the GOP’s bid to block the state court’s ruling, demonstrating that even the conservative-majority federal bench thinks Pennsylvania Republicans have no legal leg to stand on.
The bad news? Republicans hold enough seats needed to impeach judges thanks to their gerrymanders of the legislature, which gave them a solid hold on the state House and the minimum two-thirds of necessary seats in the state Senate.
The good news? All we need is one Republican in the state Senate to block this charade. That's why we must pile on enough pressure against this undemocratic travesty.

I am outraged that Pennsylvania Republicans wish to impeach justices on the state Supreme Court—simply because they ordered the GOP to draw a fair congressional map.
The judges were simply doing their job. The old map was unconstitutional, and this matter was settled all the way up to the United States Supreme Court.
It is time to end this ultra-partisan and blatantly undemocratic move. Say "no" to impeaching these justices.
