Earle stated frankly that he called the Legislature to "repel" that invasion ot the constitutional provision that the Assembly exercise "sole power" to Impeach the Governor and "all other civil officers" tor "any misdemeanor in office."

Earle offered several suggestions for the conduct of the thorough legislative inquiry he proposed because "the entire situation which confronts us is clearly and unmistakably a'shameless political con- hpiracy engineered by the Republican leadership in Pennsylvania which is attempting to conduct its political campaign in the courts." He added that "the tact that the courts have permitted themselves to be used for this purpose is the most damning indictment of our judiciary svithin the memory of man."
