Additionally, Dush argued that the judges are “guilty of an impeachable offense.” Their actions “warrant removal from office and disqualification to hold any office or trust or profit under this Commonwealth.”
In a recent interview with CNN, Dush said, “When the Supreme Court oversteps its authority, the only remedy that is left in the checks and balances system is for impeachment.”
In Pennsylvania, an impeachment requires majority votes of the House and two thirds of the Senate lawmakers. Republicans control the state legislature with 120 seats in the House and 34 seats in the Senate.
Furthermore, Dush said if the House approves the judge’s impeachment,, the Senate will probably do the same.
