(The Center Square) – U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tennessee, filed six articles of impeachment against U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, saying Roberts's leadership is marked by "arbitrary, unexplained, and inconsistent decisions."
The 10-term congressman's district, which includes Memphis, was carved into three separate districts by Tennessee lawmakers during a special session. Cohen is not seeking another term in Congress.
