Bar Association Hits Legislative Action Seeking To Remove Nashville Chancellor From Office Tuesday, March 2, 2021
The Tennessee Bar Association issued a statement on Tuesday challenging a Tennessee House resolution that would consider removing Nashville Chancellor Ellen Hobbs Lyle from office.
House Resolution 23 (HR 23) would have a chilling effect on the administration of justice in our state and threatens the bedrock principle of separation of powers, which lies at the core of Tennessee s system of government, the statement says in part.
Rep. Tim Rudd, R-Murfreesboro, is asking for a legislative committee to be formed to remove her from the bench. He said the action relates to her earlier ruling expanding absentee voting, which he called judicial overreach.
