Alabama Congresswoman Terri Sewell is urging members of the House Judiciary Committee to investigate the possibility of impeachment of federal Judge Mark Fuller. On Wednesday, Sewell sent a letter to the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and Ranking Member John Conyers asking them to investigate whether Congress should impeach Fuller. In September, Sewell gave Fuller a Nov. 12th deadline to resign after his Aug. 9th domestic violence arrest. All of Alabama's congressional delegation, including senators Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby, called for Fuller's resignation. In a statement released from her office, Sewell said "no one should get a pass" for domestic violence, whether they are a football player or a federal judge.
