Kentucky's Republican-led House voted to impeach Fayette Circuit Judge Julie Muth Goodman, a Lexington judge, in a 73-to-14 vote. The vote was split mostly along party lines, with Rep. Daniel Elliott, R-Danville, the only Republican voting against the resolution, and Rep. Adam Moore, D-Lexington. The House accused Goodman of a deliberate pattern of abusing her office and defying state statutes from the bench. The impeachment process began in January when former state Rep. Killian Timoney filed a petition against Goodman, accusing her of ignoring binding legal precedents and engaging in an "egregious pattern of judicial activism". The next steps are to hold a trial and convict Goodman.
