  • The Role of the Senate in Judicial Impeachment Proceedings: Procedure, Practice, and Data
    The Role of the Senate in Judicial Impeachment Proceedings: Procedure, Practice, and Data Susan Navarro Smelcer Analyst on the Federal Judiciary April 9, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41172 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Role of the Senate in Judicial Impeachment Proceedings Summary On March 17, 2010, the Senate organized for the impeachment trial of G. Thomas Porteous, U.S. district court judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The House of Representatives had voted on March 11, 2010, to approve four articles of impeachment against Judge Porteous, which alleged that the judge engaged in a “corrupt scheme” with a law firm and failed to recuse himself in a case where that same law firm represented one of the parties; solicited favors or gifts from a bail bondsman and the bail bondsman’s sister while the judge used his official position to provide assistance to them and their business; made material false statements in conjunction with his personal bankruptcy filing; and made material false statements to the Senate and the FBI in connection with his nomination to the federal bench. The House had impeached Judge Porteous on these charges, fulfilling it its constitutional role as the chamber with the “sole Power of Impeachment.” The Senate is now faced with executing its constitutional responsibility to “try all Impeachments.” The Senate, however, receives little constitutional guidance on how these trials should be conducted. Procedure in the Senate is primarily governed by the special rules established for impeachment trials, precedents established by previous impeachment trials, and existing Senate procedure.

Anniversaries are ritualized times for looking back, for remembering the struggles and relishing the victories, and by doing so becoming stronger and wiser. On this 40th anniversary we will remember the stories and lore that still circulate regarding the efforts of citizen activists to get a wildlife refuge created in the south bay. It was just one year ago that we celebrated the role Redwood City citizen Ralph Nobles played with many, many others in protecting the then vulnerable baylands that became the Bair Island unit of the Don Edwards Refuge.
