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.

Let’s not be ignorant and stupid by taking this too seriously. These Demo-twits are probably unaware of what they’re getting in to. Kind of a tough row to hoe if you consider that only one justice has ever been impeached. And he was acquitted. And it was in 1805.
Hillary will claim that a blue dress is an erectionist symbol.
AOC is desperately trying to regain some semblance of seriousness and dignity after her humiliating and juvenile performance on stage at Bowman’s re-election rally.
Does AOC even understand the concept of the three branches of government, including the importance of an independent judiciary?
I doubt it, not with this ridiculous political stunt.
Maybe she’s trying to change the subject, take the focus off of Biden.
Won’t work, though.
These clueless females don’t have a clue what they are doing.
They don’t understand nor care to understand America’s Rule of Law of the Constitution.
The difference is the insurrectionist Leftist men KNOW they are committing insurrection. The females have no clue.
I haven’t seen her do anything ‘powerful’.
She doesn’t even have a piece of passed legislation to her name.
Most of the time she just makes an ass of herself.
In other words, wholly political, without a crime or misdemeanor.
Or put another way--not what impeachment is for, and what the nation has tried to avoid all these long years, but par for the course for tyrannic communists.
She has also increased her net worth from “ barista tips” to multi millionaire during her first term in office.
Speaking of things to investigate
Oh I dunno, if good tips would encourage her to go back to bartending, might be a good investment.
“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. “
You mean the way Kagan recused herself from obamacare rulings???
The donkey is hee-hawing again.
It’s not an act… 😉
I didn't think about that. It's possible AOC knows it won't work, just trying to distract from Biden news.
This is a good related interview:
She will eventually become a senior member and a committee chair. Maybe even a leadership position. That she makes an ass of herself is evident just to us, but to her base it’s laudable and expected..................
That is probably part of the story, but she and her gang may be hoping for more, based on untrustworthy "republicans."
This evil evil person should be repatriated or imprisoned forthwith. In ko case should we allow her to occupy any position in our nation’s government.
Absolutely.
