Impeach Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan Now — Corrupt Judges Must Be Removed, and H.Res. 1421 Is the Tool to Do It

I. No Judge Is Above the Law — and the Constitution Gives Congress the Power to Remove Them

The Constitution of the United States gives federal judges lifetime appointments. They serve “during good Behavior” — which means they serve until they die, retire, or are impeached and removed by Congress. Lifetime tenure was designed to insulate judges from political pressure. It was not designed to insulate them from accountability. A judge who violates the public trust, who abuses the power of the bench, who commits acts that rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors — that judge must be removed. And the Constitution gives Congress the power to do it.

H.Res. 1421 is a resolution to impeach Sparkle L. Sooknanan, a Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, for high crimes and misdemeanors. The resolution has been introduced in the House of Representatives. It must pass. Not because impeachment should be used lightly — it should not. But because a federal judiciary that believes it is immune from consequences is a federal judiciary that will inevitably abuse its power. And a federal judiciary that abuses its power is a threat to every American citizen who expects the law to be applied fairly, not ideologically.

Federal judges in America have become a parallel government. They issue nationwide injunctions that block the policies of elected presidents. They legislate from the bench, inventing rights and remedies that appear nowhere in the Constitution. They rule based on their policy preferences rather than the text of the law. They treat the courtroom as a platform for social engineering rather than a venue for resolving disputes. And they do all of this knowing that the impeachment power — the only constitutional check on judicial misconduct — has been used so rarely that it has effectively ceased to exist as a deterrent.

H.Res. 1421 revives that check. It says to Judge Sooknanan — and to every federal judge who has forgotten that the robe is a symbol of service, not sovereignty — that Congress is watching. Congress has the power. And Congress will use it. Pass the resolution. Hold the hearings. Present the evidence. Let the judge defend herself. And if the evidence proves what the resolution alleges — that she committed high crimes and misdemeanors — remove her from the bench and bar her from ever holding federal office again.

Deuteronomy 16:18-20: “You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment. You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which the Lord your God is giving you.”

God commands judges to judge with just judgment. Not to pervert justice. Not to show partiality. Not to take a bribe — whether that bribe is money, power, or the approval of the political class. A judge who perverts justice has violated not just the law but the command of God. And the people have a right — a duty — to remove that judge from the office she has disgraced.

II. The Federal Judiciary Has Become a Rogue Branch — and Impeachment Is the Only Fix

The American people did not elect Judge Sooknanan. They did not confirm her. They have no power to vote her out. She serves for life. The only mechanism for removing a federal judge is impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate. That mechanism has been used so rarely — only fifteen judges have been impeached in American history, and only eight have been convicted and removed — that the federal judiciary has effectively become a branch of government with zero accountability.

This is not what the Founders intended. The Founders gave Congress the impeachment power specifically because they feared an unaccountable judiciary. Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 79 that the impeachment power was “the only provision on the point which is consistent with the necessary independence of the judicial character.” The Founders understood that judges needed independence to rule fairly in individual cases. They also understood that independence without accountability would become tyranny. The impeachment power was the bridge between the two — independence for honest judges, removal for corrupt ones. And for two centuries, that bridge has been crossed so rarely that judges have forgotten it exists.

The result is what you see today: federal judges who behave as if their rulings are beyond question, their power is beyond challenge, and their tenure is beyond termination. A district court judge in Hawaii issues a nationwide injunction blocking a presidential executive order on immigration — and faces no consequence. A district court judge in Washington issues a nationwide injunction blocking a presidential executive order on birthright citizenship — and faces no consequence. A district court judge in Texas issues a nationwide injunction on an abortion medication approved by the FDA — and faces no consequence. Single unelected judges, in single courtrooms, are issuing orders that bind the entire nation. And they face no consequence for doing so — because Congress has allowed the impeachment power to atrophy into irrelevance.

H.Res. 1421 sharpens the sword. It says that impeachment is not a relic of the eighteenth century. It is a living constitutional power that Congress can and must use when judges abuse their office. Judge Sooknanan is the target of this resolution because the evidence warrants it. But the message is broader: every federal judge is on notice. The era of judicial impunity is over. Congress is watching. And the power to remove is real.

Isaiah 10:1-2: “Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, who write misfortune which they have prescribed to rob the needy of justice, and to take what is right from the poor of My people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless.”

Woe to the judge who decrees unrighteous decrees. Woe to the judge who writes misfortune prescribed to rob the needy of justice. The robe does not protect against the woe of God. And the impeachment power does not protect against the judgment of Congress. Remove the judge. Remove the unrighteous decree. Restore justice to the people whose cases she has decided.

III. What Impeachment Means — and What It Does Not

Let me be clear about what impeachment is and is not, because the word has been weaponized in recent years and its meaning has been distorted.

Impeachment is not a criminal trial. It does not send the judge to prison. It does not impose a fine. It removes the judge from office and disqualifies her from holding future office. It is a political remedy for a political problem — the problem of a public official who has violated the public trust and must be removed from the position she has abused.

Impeachment is not a punishment for bad rulings. Judges make bad rulings all the time. They misinterpret the law. They misapply precedent. They make errors that appellate courts correct. Bad rulings are not grounds for impeachment. High crimes and misdemeanors are grounds for impeachment — acts that constitute an abuse of power, a violation of the judicial oath, a betrayal of the public trust, or conduct that renders the judge unfit to serve.

Impeachment is not partisan revenge. If Judge Sooknanan is removed, it will be because the evidence presented to the House and the Senate proves that she committed acts warranting removal — not because she is a member of one political party or was appointed by a particular president. The standard is the evidence. The process is the trial. The outcome is determined by the facts, not by the politics.

And impeachment is not the end of judicial independence. It is the preservation of it. A judiciary that is never held accountable is a judiciary that will eventually destroy its own legitimacy. When citizens believe that judges rule by whim rather than by law — when they believe that the outcome of a case depends on which judge is randomly assigned to hear it, not on what the law actually says — the entire judicial system loses credibility. Impeaching judges who abuse their power restores credibility. It tells the public that the system works, that no one is above the law, and that the robe does not confer immunity from consequence.

Romans 13:3-4: “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.”

The judge is God’s minister for good — if she does good. If she does evil, she should be afraid. The sword of impeachment is not borne in vain. It is the tool God gave Congress to execute wrath on those who practice evil from the bench. Use it.

IV. The Bottom Line — Impeach, Remove, and Restore Accountability to the Federal Judiciary

H.Res. 1421 must pass. The evidence must be heard. The trial must be held. And if the evidence proves that Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan committed high crimes and misdemeanors — as the resolution alleges — she must be removed from the bench, disqualified from future office, and added to the very short list of federal judges who learned that the robe does not make you untouchable.

This is not about one judge. It is about a judiciary that has spent decades accumulating power while shedding accountability. It is about a Congress that has forgotten it has the power to check the courts. It is about a Constitution that provides the remedy, and a people who deserve to see that remedy used. Impeach Judge Sooknanan. Remove her if the evidence warrants it. And let every other federal judge in America know that their conduct will be watched, their rulings will be scrutinized, and their power is not absolute.

The judicial branch is not the supreme branch. It is a coequal branch, subject to the same checks and balances as the others. The impeachment power is the check. H.Res. 1421 is the exercise of that check. Pass it. Use it. Restore accountability to the federal judiciary. And remind every judge in America that the Constitution is not a suicide pact — it is a document that provides the tools for self-defense. Impeachment is one of those tools. It is time to pick it up.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, You established government to punish evil and protect good. You gave us judges to administer justice impartially, without partiality, without corruption, without fear or favor. Forgive us for a judiciary that has forgotten its mission — that has substituted ideology for law, activism for judgment, and power for service. Forgive us for judges who have used the bench as a platform for social engineering rather than a place for resolving disputes according to Your law and the law of the land.

Bless H.Res. 1421. Let the evidence be heard. Let the trial be fair. Let the outcome be just — whether that outcome is acquittal or removal, let it be determined by the facts and not by politics. If Judge Sooknanan has committed high crimes and misdemeanors, let her be removed. If she has not, let her be acquitted. But let the process itself be a message to every federal judge in America: you are not above the law. You are not immune from accountability. You serve at the pleasure of the Constitution, not the other way around.

Restore the balance of power that the Founders designed. Let Congress be Congress. Let the courts be courts. Let the executive be the executive. And let no branch claim supremacy over the others, for all authority comes from You, and all authority will answer to You. In the name of Jesus Christ, the righteous Judge who will return to judge the living and the dead — Amen.
