Obama-Appointed Judge Faces Impeachment for Having Loud Sexual Encounters in Her Chambers

An Obama-appointed district judge could face impeachment after reports of sexual encounters in her chambers during work hours. District Judge Eleanor Ross allegedly carried on an ongoing affair with Atlanta Police Deputy Chief Kelley Collier from 2003 to 2025, according to filings and reports. Ross received a private reprimand for the behavior, prompting Republican Rep. Andrew Clyde to announce on Thursday that he is drafting articles of impeachment. Clyde argues the misconduct, lack of integrity, and impartiality warrant removal from the bench. Clerks and staff reportedly heard loud noises during the encounters, prompting investigations that examined evidence including a couch stain.
