A Republican congresswoman is talking about the possibility of impeaching an Alabama federal judge arrested and charged with assaulting his wife in an Atlanta hotel.

Rep. Martha Roby, R-Alabama, said Tuesday she was waiting for the judiciary disciplinary process to finish but that U.S. District Judge Mark Fuller must be held to a higher standard. Domestic violence could mean impeachment, she said.

“Domestic abuse cannot be tolerated, explained away or swept under the rug,” Roby, of Montgomery, told The Montgomery Advertiser. “It must be confronted head on, and abusers must be held accountable. Our sons and daughters are paying attention, and how our society handles this moment matters a great deal.”

Fuller, 55, was arrested in August after his wife, Kelli, called Atlanta 911 to report he was attacking her in a downtown hotel. He was arrested on misdemeanor charges.
