Delegate Miller is that if the man, if the officer has

2

been tried for the crime, which is the cause also for

5

impeachment, and had appealed that case to the Court of

4

Appeals, then while those judges certainly would not

5

also sit on the impeachment panel, at least a majority

6

of those judges have the power to select the people who

7

will sit on the panel.

8

That, I must say, does bother me. The fact

9

that the judges of the Court of Appeals who will have

10

already heard evidence and who may have already heard

11

evidence in a criminal trial of the case will at least

12

have the power to select those judges who will sit on the

13

judicial tribunal. I rise again to speak in favor of

14

tradition and urge that we reject the committee's proposal

15

and adopt the amendment.

16

THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Weidemeyer.

17

DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: Mr. President, I rise to

18

inquire from the Chair is there any relief for the poor

19

delegate who wants to vote instead of listening to debate?

(Laughter.)

THE CHAIRMAN: Are you ready for the question?
