Bill overview
This resolution seeks to impeach Judge John Deacon Bates of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. The House of Representatives alleges that Judge Bates acted improperly by ordering federal agencies to reinstate content related to gender-affirming care on government websites, arguing this contradicted executive orders and disregarded the potential harm to children. The resolution asserts his conduct demonstrates a lack of integrity and unfitness for his judicial position.
