WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Andrew Clyde (GA-09) filed three articles of impeachment against Eleanor Ross, a U.S. District Court Judge for the Northern District of Georgia, for high crimes and misdemeanors. “When judges become political activists or engage in judicial misconduct, Congress bears both the responsibility and the constitutional authority to hold them accountable,” said Clyde . “Judge Ross’ deeply disturbing actions prove she is incapable of displaying integrity or showing impartiality. She’s simply unfit to remain a U.S. District Court Judge for the Northern District of Georgia, which is why I’m leading the charge to impeach Judge Ross and ultimately remove her from the bench.” The three articles of impeachment are summarized below and available HERE . Article I: Incident to her position as a United States District Court Judge, Eleanor Louise Ross has engaged in conduct with respect to improper sexual activity in chambers with a law enforcement officer that is incompatible with the trust and confidence placed in her as a judge. Article II: Eleanor Louise Ross engaged in judicial misconduct by attending a partisan political event . Article III: Eleanor Louise Ross corruptly obstructed, influenced, or impeded an official proceeding . Read the Daily Caller’s exclusive on Rep. Clyde’s articles of impeachment against Judge Ross HERE .
