A top House panel will hold a hearing later this month on the impact of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, it announced ahead of the weekend.

News of the hearing came from House Oversight and Reform Committee Democrats, who said in a statement that the panel would "examine how the Republican-appointed Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will impact people and families across America for generations to come." The hearing, which will take place July 13, was announced Friday, one week to the day since the nation's highest bench announced that it would reverse the 1973 landmark ruling, which had guaranteed nationwide abortion access for nearly half a century.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), who heads the Oversight Committee, wrote in a separate statement that the hearing would highlight the "devastating effects" that the ruling would have on the public's ability to access reproductive care.

“Make no mistake: This decision is the culmination of a yearslong public campaign by Republicans to appoint a Supreme Court that would support draconian restrictions on people’s reproductive healthcare," the New York Democrat said. "This hearing will focus on those whom these restrictions will harm the most and highlight the devastating impact that this decision will have on generations to come."

Maloney added that she was “committed to protecting and expanding access to abortion and reproductive healthcare for all.”

Except for BiXiden being in the White Basement, I’d not have a problem with an impeachment of Traitor Roberts.

The legislative branch of the federal government is clearly vastly over-funded.

A lot fewer babies torn limb from limb, or have their brains sucked out or their spinal cord cut. That’s one impact I can think of

No, impeachment is reserved exclusively for the Executive and Judicial branches. Representatives and Senators may only be removed by a two-thirds vote of their respective Houses. Only five Representatives and fifteen Senators have been expelled from Congress since the Constitution was ratified. Fourteen of the fifteen Senators expelled were due to their States leaving the Union at the start of the Civil War, as were three of the five Representatives. So expelling a member of either House for cause is quite rare.
