WASHINGTON, D.C. — A wave of momentum is building in the House of Representatives to impeach U.S. District Judge Eleanor L. Ross, following a damning judiciary panel report that revealed she engaged in sexual activity with a police officer inside her chambers during working hours.

The Impeachment Push

The scandal, which has rocked the federal bench, has triggered swift political action. Representative Andrew Clyde led the charge on Thursday, announcing he is actively drafting articles of impeachment.

“Her egregious misconduct, severe lack of integrity, and blatant impartiality warrant impeachment proceedings,” Clyde stated in a post on X.

The effort is gaining traction within the House Judiciary Committee. Chairman Jim Jordan confirmed that his team is reviewing a memo detailing the judge’s actions, noting that impeachment remains a viable path. “Everything’s on the table. We don’t take anything off the table,” Jordan said.

Representative Clay Fuller has further escalated the move, confirming that he is coordinating with the committee to introduce a formal article of impeachment on Monday. “This radical judge has no place in power and is unfit to sit on the federal bench,” Fuller declared.

The Investigation

The controversy stems from a judiciary panel report exposing the judge’s conduct. The investigation identified the individual involved as Kelley Collier, a Deputy Chief with the Atlanta Police Department. The Atlanta Police Department has confirmed it has launched its own internal investigation into the officer’s conduct during business hours.

A Rare Constitutional Procedure

Impeachment of a federal judge is a rare and solemn constitutional process. In the history of the United States, only 15 federal judges have ever been impeached. The last such proceeding occurred in 2010, underscoring the severity of the allegations now facing Judge Ross.

As the House prepares to act, the legal community is watching closely to see if the proceedings will move toward a full floor vote, which would mark a significant moment for the federal judiciary.
