Court splits on legality of move to impeach Philadelphia DA

among a panel of Pennsylvania state judges about whether a Republican-led effort to impeach and seek to remove Philadelphia's progressive prosecutor meets legal standards or if it should be stopped.

In what was described by other judges as both the lead and the majority opinion, Commonwealth Court Judge Ellen Ceisler, a Democrat, said the allegations against Krasner fall short because they do not claim he "failed to perform a positive ministerial duty or performed a discretionary duty with an improper or corrupt motive."

The impeachment articles fault Krasner’s decision not to prosecute some minor crimes, say he obstructed the House investigation, criticize his policies and management and accuse him of misbehavior involving certain cases.Krasner's legal challengeShe said Ceisler's opinion "hurriedly and needlessly plunged this court into a wash of nonjusticiable political questions over which we currently have no decision-making authority.

While you fight this shit out in your safe space, Philadelphians are still being slaughtered in the streets.

That's why most people hate the legal system. Game players every one.

That Soros money is strong

If they had to live in the city, and deal with the overwhelming violence that’s caused by his policies and failure to act- there would be NO hesitation. . Or if they were the family or friend of a loved one that was murdered and his office cut a plea deal with the murderer. 🤬

You mean regressive prosecutor

The editor of this story worked overtime to make the decision as unclear as possible. “Court rules impeachment trial unconstitutional” is much more clear and concise

The political bias displayed by these judges in a disgrace to the judiciary branch.

Impeachment is a political process, not a legal one.

We all know he's guilty, get his a$$ out of office and put in someone who will actually charge scumbag criminals and keep them in jail.
