A New Form of Preemption? Clear Effort to Undermine Local Democracy

The Pennsylvania State House took its first concrete step in a long-standing effort to impeach left-leaning, BLM supported–and most importantly elected and re-elected–District Attorney, Larry Krasner. The House committee has issued Articles of Impeachment. This now moves to the House that must adopt the Articles by majority vote.

The timing: PA State House is 101:101–one district call away from a potential exceedingly slim Democratic majority for first time since they lost their majority in 2010.

The offense: Inappropriate use of prosecutorial discretion leading to inadequate response to gun violence. The claim is that his under-enforcement of the law (a platform he ran and won on) constitutes a dereliction of duty.
