SRES 808 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that Eleanor L. Ross, judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, engaged in conduct that falls beneath the dignity of her office.

This Senate resolution expresses the chamber's view that Judge Eleanor L. Ross of the Northern District of Georgia engaged in conduct that undermines the dignity of her office. The measure is based on findings that she maintained a sexual relationship with a police official inside her chambers during court hours and lied to investigators about these activities for nearly two weeks. Specifically, the bill highlights that the Senate believes Judge Ross violated judicial ethics codes by engaging in improper workplace behavior and making false statements that hindered an official investigation. Ultimately, the resolution formally condemns her actions and states that her behavior does not meet the high standards expected of federal judges.
