IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. Hamadeh of Arizona submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

RESOLUTION

Impeaching Sparkle L. Sooknanan, a Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Resolved, That Sparkle L. Sooknanan, a Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate: Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Sparkle L. Sooknanan, a Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against her for high crimes and misdemeanors.

article i: abuse of judicial authority

In her conduct of the office of Judge, Sparkle L. Sookanan abused the power entrusted to her in that: Judge Sookanan issued an injunction that halted President Trump’s SAVE program, substituting the judgment of a single unelected judge for that of the duly elected Executive Branch. Through this extraordinary intervention, Judge Sooknanan elevated personal legal and policy preferences above the constitutional powers vested in the President. Article III grants judges life tenure during “good Behaviour”, not lifetime immunity from accountability. When judges repeatedly exceed their constitutional role and exercise power never granted to them by the Constitution, they violate the spirit of the “good Behaviour” requirement and invite congressional scrutiny. Congress possesses both the authority and the obligation to check abuses by members of the Federal judiciary. Failure to respond to judicial overreach risks normalizing the concentration of unchecked power in the hands of unelected judges. Impeachment is a constitutional remedy designed to preserve the separation of powers and safeguard the authority entrusted to the elected branches of government. Congress possesses both the authority and the obligation to check abuses by members of the Federal judiciary.

article ii: usurpation of executive authority

In her conduct of the office of Judge, Sparkle L. Sookanan abused the power entrusted to her in that: By blocking the implementation of the SAVE program, Judge Sooknanan effectively seized powers reserved to the Executive Branch and interfered with the President’s constitutional responsibility to faithfully execute the laws of the United States. Such actions represent an improper encroachment upon powers entrusted to democratically accountable officials. Article III grants judges life tenure during “good Behaviour”, not lifetime immunity from accountability. When judges repeatedly exceed their constitutional role and exercise power never granted to them by the Constitution, they violate the spirit of the “good Behaviour” requirement and invite congressional scrutiny. Congress possesses both the authority and the obligation to check abuses by members of the Federal judiciary.

article iii: disregard for the separation of powers

In her conduct of the office of Judge, Sparkle L. Sookanan abused the power entrusted to her in that: The Framers did not establish the judiciary as a super-legislature empowered to veto executive actions based on policy disagreements. Judge Sooknanan’s actions represent a dangerous expansion of judicial power at the expense of the constitutional balance among the branches of government. Article III grants judges life tenure during “good Behaviour”, not lifetime immunity from accountability.

article iv: exceeding article iii authority

In her conduct of the office of Judge, Sparkle L. Sookanan abused the power entrusted to her in that: Federal judges are empowered to decide cases and controversies, not to dictate national policy. Judge Sooknanan’s sweeping injunction exceeded the limited authority granted under Article III and transformed the court into an instrument for imposing policy outcomes. Article III grants judges life tenure during “good Behaviour”, not lifetime immunity from accountability.

article v: undermining confidence in the judiciary

In her conduct of the office of Judge, Sparkle L. Sookanan abused the power entrusted to her in that: By obstructing a program intended by its supporters to strengthen election integrity, Judge Sooknanan fostered the perception that Federal courts are increasingly acting as political actors rather than impartial arbiters. Public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary is undermined when judges appear to place ideological preferences above constitutional limits. Article III grants judges life tenure during “good Behaviour”, not lifetime immunity from accountability. When judges repeatedly exceed their constitutional role and exercise power never granted to them by the Constitution, they violate the spirit of the “good Behaviour” requirement and invite congressional scrutiny.
