A dozen GOP Pennsylvania lawmakers filed legislation on Tuesday to impeach four Democratic state Supreme Court justices who ruled the state’s congressional map was unconstitutionally gerrymandered and replaced it with a new one. Two Republican appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court and a federal lawsuit have been unsuccessful in blocking the new map. Dush, who did not immediately return a request for comment, said in February that the state Supreme Court had violated the legislative process. Supreme Court justices are elected in Pennsylvania. The last time a judge was impeached in the state was in 1994, when a state Supreme Court justice was found guilty of a felony.
