NOW Sets Sights On Impeachment Of Galveston Federal Judge
For those who first learned about the reprimand of Federal District Judge Samuel B. Kent from a front-page headline in the Houston Chronicle, The Galveston County Daily News has a new twist in the saga this week:
The National Organization of Women said Monday it was asking Congress to investigate whether U.S. District Judge Samuel B. Kent should be impeached and removed from the bench.
Kent’s reprimand made him unfit, especially when it comes to hearing sexual harassment cases, Kim Gandy, president of the half-million member organization, said in an interview from Washington, D.C.
“If he’s found to have committed sexual harassment himself, one can reasonably conclude that he does not consider that a serious issue,” Gandy said.
It’s an interesting argument.
The last time a federal judge was impeached was 1989. With a Democratic Congress in charge, we may very well see an impeachment in the near future. And, Democrats may wish to note that Kent was an appointee of the elder President Bush.
