肯塔基州最高法院因权力分离而暂停弹审判. Kentucky Supreme Court halts impeachment trial of judge due to separation of powers.

肯塔基州最高法院的裁决停止了法耶特县巡回法官朱莉·穆斯·古德曼 (Julie Muth Goodman) 的弹审判, 并宣布这些条款违宪, 因为它们侵犯了权力分立. A Kentucky Supreme Court ruling halted the impeachment trial of Fayette County Circuit Judge Julie Muth Goodman, declaring the articles unconstitutional due to violations of the separation of powers. 法院指出,与司法裁决的不同意见不构成轻罪,强调"法官行为委员会"应处理违规审查. The court stated that disagreements with judicial rulings do not constitute a misdemeanor, emphasizing that the Judicial Conduct Commission should handle misconduct reviews. 虽然参议院弹委员会仍将于4月16日举行会议, 但在此之前, Senate President Robert Stivers acknowledged the decision and is reviewing its implications, though the Senate impeachment committee is still scheduled to meet on April 16.
