Rep. Cohen Files Six Articles of Impeachment Against Chief Justice Roberts
Cohen says Roberts violated constitutional duties and ethical rules, and the six articles cite conflicts tied to his spouse and rulings favoring the wealthy.
- On Thursday, Representative Steve Cohen introduced six articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, alleging he committed high crimes and misdemeanors by violating the Constitution and breaching his judicial oath.
- The resolution signals deep frustration among Democrats regarding the 6-3 conservative majority Supreme Court; Cohen argues the Court has become a partisan force prioritizing the wealthy while undermining representative government and the Voting Rights Act.
- Cohen specifically contends that while Roberts adjudicated sensitive cases, his spouse, Jane Sullivan Roberts, received millions recruiting attorneys for firms litigating before the Court, conduct he asserts violates 28 U.S.C. § 455.
- Because Republicans hold a narrow House majority, the impeachment resolution is not expected to advance; currently, the effort lacks co-sponsors, reflecting political divisions over the Court's recent decisions.
- Following the appointment of three justices during President Donald Trump's first term, the Court has recently overturned controversial precedents tied to abortion access, voting rights, and affirmative action.
