West Virginia is in the grips of a constitutional crisis, as the state’s highest court effectively ended an impeachment proceeding against one of its own members.
The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals ruled that the state legislature exceeded its authority in impeaching its own chief justice, Margaret Workman, for violations of the state judicial conduct code. Should Workman be removed from office, she would become the fourth justice in as many months to leave the court in disgrace.
West Virginia’s Supreme Court has been in a state of disarray since the summer. A full complement of duly elected justices sat on the court in June of this year: Workman and Justices Robin Jean Davis, Menis Ketchum, Beth Walker and Allen Loughry. Since then,Loughry and Ketchum have been convicted on fraud charges in federal court, Davis retired to avoid an impeachment trial, and Workman and Walker were impeached by the state legislature.
GOP Gov. Jim Justice appointed two interim justices to the vacant Davis and Ketchum seats in August. Workman appointed a third acting justice to replace Loughry.

Like all political bit**es, they lie, cheat, steal, take bribes, sell out "we, the people", and come to believe they are rulers instead of servants.
March them outside (while forcefully jamming an AK in their back, over and over --- bruises won't matter to them shortly) and hang them.
Televise it.
These people have forgotten their and their role.
Now look at them -- they use their power to PROTECT thieves and liars.
Let's see how much power they have suspended in the air.

Keep cheering and thinking ANYTHING short of hanging slime like them is an option. It isn't.
This entitled and privileged attitude is so deeply entrenched that a little peroxide just won't clean it up --- it needs lots of rope and gasoline (just to make sure....).
AND lots of TV coverage.
They must be Democrats because if they were Republicans it would be all over this story.
Like the idea 633pm, but I believe all TV stations here on the shore (as well as many radio stations) are owned by WBOC....... WMDT would show anything controversial if their lives depended on it.
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo TV may not work!
HAHAHAHA
Civil war is coming soon.
Yeah, but the first part --- hanging them ---will work just fine.
