AOC unveils articles of impeachment against Justices Thomas and Alito

Andrew Solender


Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and a group of House progressives on Wednesday introduced articles of impeachment against conservative Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

Why it matters: It's a long-shot element of a broader legislative push by House Democrats to rein in the court after a spate of decisions in June that incensed liberals.

Driving the news: The resolutions accuse Thomas and Alito of refusing to recuse from cases in which they had a "personal bias or prejudice concerning a party," as well as "failure to disclose" income, gifts and other financial info.

    The articles targeting Thomas include a third charge: "Refusal to recuse from matters involving his spouse's financial interest in cases before the court."
    The resolutions point to lavish gifts both justices received from benefactors reportedly involved in or connected to cases before the Supreme Court.
    The measures also point to the involvement of Ginni Thomas in efforts to overturn the 2020 election and reports of "Stop the Steal" symbols at Alito's properties to argue that their recusal from Jan. 6-related cases was warranted as well.

Zoom in: The articles of impeachment are co-sponsored by progressive Reps. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.).

The other side: Thomas' attorney Elliot Berke said in a statement last August that the justice has "always strived for full transparency and adherence to the law" and "never accepted a gift from anyone with business before the Court."

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
I thought the stinking Democommies in New York were gerrymandering her district out of existence, or that was what was said a couple years ago.  Where are they on getting rid of her?  The establishment Dems don't like her any more than Republicans do.  She is an absolute idiot.  I added Boston University to my list of of schools with graduates I would NEVER consider for any job under me.

Liberal women in general tend to be flippin' idiots and she's the creme of the crop.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

   I have a tendency to confuse the two, being once to Matamoros, in the 70's.

The question all the boys have about AOC is ... what's the bright red lipstick about?

When guys see bright red lips like that, they only think about one thing.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
