Entire W. Va. Supreme Court justices impeached

They look so innocent and nice

Trials will be held in West Virginia beginning next month for all 4 Supreme Court justices in spite of Democratic efforts to remove the charges against some of them, which were rejected.

The state Senate voted on Tuesday voted down a resolution to drop the articles of impeachment against Robin Davis, who retired soon after she was impeached last month by the House of Delegates.

The vote was held after Senate President Mitch Carmichael, ruled in a separate resolution that to censure justices Beth Walker and Margaret Workman, rather than subjecting them to impeachment trials, was out of order. Had that resolution been approved, they would have kept their seats on the court and continued their miscreant behavior.

Trial dates are set for Oct. 1 for Walker, Oct. 15 for Workman, Oct. 29 for Davis and Nov. 15 for suspended Justice Allen Loughry.

The Senate, comprised of 34 members will serve as a jury and some from the House of Delegates will serve as prosecutors. If convicted, the justice would be disqualified from holding public office but will not be banned from Twitter and will be permitted to say anything at all, so long as it is against POTUS, Kavanaugh, Pence, Fox News or the NRA.

Democratic lawmakers, who hold minorities in the House and Senate, and who are hoping to get illegal aliens into West Virginia to vote Democrat, have characterized the impeachments as an "unprecedented power grab by the GOP," Fox News reported.

The reason for impeachments in these cases stem from questions involving office renovations for the justices. Davis spent a whopping $503,000 in taxpayer money; Loughry spent $367,000; only $131,000 was spent by Walker; and a paltry $113,000 by Workman.

Evidently, they installed swimming pools and saunas in their offices.

The questions became accusations or corruption, incompetence and neglect of duty.

The aforementioned censure agreement made with House managers was announced earlier Thursday, but Ohio County Republican Sen. Ryan Ferns, objected to a resolution to approve the agreement because he said it would be premature to make a decision without hearing any evidence. After some back and forth, Carmichael agreed.

Loughry was the only justice at the Tuesday hearing. A 25-count federal indictment against him alleges, in part, that he repeatedly lied about using his office for personal gain.

A fifth justice, Menis Ketchum, [aka Denis the Menis Ketchum] resigned in July and pleaded guilty in August to a felony count of fraud related to his personal use of a state vehicle and gas fuel card. He faces up to 20 years in prison. Imagine his embarrassment when an inmate named Tiny asks him, "Hey, what aya in for?" and he tells him, "I used a government car and gassed it up with a government gas card."

Don't drop the soap, Menis, and maybe get a few interesting face tattoos.

The departures of Ketchum and Davis ahead of a deadline for justices to step down or be removed means their replacements will be decided by the voters, not gubernatorial appointments. A special election will be held in November.

If the Senate convicts any other justices, Gov. Jim Justice [seriously] would name their replacements. And with a name like "Big Jim Justice," you know he's going to make the right choices.

And they took Kris Paronto's Twitter account away for tweeting the truth.
