Should some of the SCOTUS be impeached?

AOC is for Impeachment

Questions surrounding the Supreme Court’s ethics have arisen, particularly after reports emerged about the many perks the Justices have received over the last several years. The majority conservative bench has also come under fire for some of its recent rulings, including the Dobbs decision that overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade case and, this term, the Chevron Deference doctrine. One Democratic representative has filed articles of impeachment against two of them.

In a press release on her congressional website, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), or AOC as press sources call her, announced she had introduced articles of impeachment against Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. She said, “The unchecked corruption crisis on the Supreme Court has now spiraled into a Constitutional crisis.”

She accused the Justices of failing to recuse themselves from cases in which they had personal and financial entanglements. She called such behavior a “grave threat to [the] American rule of law, the integrity of our democracy, and one of the clearest cases” for impeachment.

In making the case for Alito’s impeachment, Ocasio-Cortez said he failed to disclose financial information, including gifts, property interests, income, liabilities, and reimbursements. Additionally, he failed to recuse himself from cases where he had a bias or entanglement. Moreover, she noted his failure to recuse himself from cases involving former President Donald Trump after reports surfaced that Alito flew controversial flags associated with Trump’s claims about the past election.

Turning to Thomas, AOC accused him of failing to recuse himself from cases where his spouse, Ginni Thomas, had legal or financial interests and for failing to disclose financial information, including substantial gifts.

Republicans currently hold the majority in the Lower Chamber, albeit a slim one, meaning the House wouldn’t likely advance Ocasio-Cortez’s impeachment articles to a vote.

The problem as I see it. In order for someone to be appointed to the Supreme Court. They have to favor the views of the party in charge. So they probably are already partial to that political party. Then as Amy Barrett said. If congress were to write better laws. The Court wouldn’t need to try to interpret what Congress was actually trying to write. Lastly. The Justices can’t give up their entire personal life. When they accept the position. I can understand huge gifts from corporations or business owners or CEO’s.
Otherwise. All of the free ice cream that Biden receives. Should be questioned!

Thank you for the MHO!

AOC at the Met gala 2023 as part of her attendance, the a designer provided the congresswoman with a couture dress, handbag, shoes and jewelry, the report said. She also received hair and makeup services, a hotel room and transportation, while her now-fiancé received a bowtie and shoes. "While Rep.

Under a federal statute, no member of Congress can "solicit or accept anything of value from a person seeking official action from, doing business with" or "whose interests may be substantially affected by the performance or nonperformance of the individual's official duties."

i agreed that was despicable.

[Drewtate]

@strateguy632 liberal politicians are all about do what u say not as I do.

[sage2021]

I don't follow what's going on with them so I can't comment.

[strateguy632]

i mean the whole point of separation of powers IS so a. o. c. can't pester judges for a different opinion. typical democrat low life! misuse for agenda and for threats and pestering.

even British parliament the ones managing are the same ones making the laws... the way THEY wanna manage. its appaling to me. those brits!

but the point of impeachment is for crimes not for punishment for "interpreting" the law... that is what a judge ought to do!

especially undoing the baseless lie about "constitution" when truly not even a hint in constitution at all, certainly not about any "rights to harm or kill" a human fetus.

[DryGermanGuy]

I have heard from some official or semi-official governance list, where Clarence Thomas listed "gifts" in value of four million dollars from rich political friends. How the hell is it even remotely acceptable for a judge (!!!) to receive millions of dollars?

[Dongie]

I can think of dozens that should be jailed across the 3 branches.

[exitseven]

Maybe if you cannot define what a woman is you should be impeached

[Juxtapose]

AOC is a hypocrite and a corrupt piece of shit.

[Jerre]

I don’t think the Impeachment is going anywhere.

[RetroReviews]

90% of demoncrats need to go

[Alex-Snow]

Thomas and Alito definitely should be.

[Massageman]

Against Thomas or Alito? hardly.
