AOC going after SCOTUS' two Conservative Judges

AOC Files Articles of Impeachment Against Thomas and Alito

The articles are unlikely to pass the House, but signal Democrats' growing discontent with the Supreme Court's ethical impunity.

The first impeachment resolution includes the following impeachment articles against Justice Thomas:

• Failure to disclose financial income, gifts and reimbursements, property interests, liabilities, and transactions, among other information.

• Refusal to recuse from matters concerning his spouse’s legal interest in cases before the court.

• Refusal to recuse from matters involving his spouse’s financial interest in cases before the court.

The second impeachment resolution includes the following impeachment articles against Justice Alito:

• Refusal to recuse from cases in which he had a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party in cases before the court.

• Failure to disclose financial income, gifts and reimbursements, property interests, liabilities, and transactions, among other information.

Democrats for years have criticized the court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, over rulings that advanced causes popular on the right. These have included rolling back abortion rights, expanding gun rights, rejecting race-conscious collegiate admissions and ruling that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution for official acts in office in a decision favoring Donald Trump.

Ocasio-Cortez said in a statement that Thomas and Alito's "pattern of refusal to recuse from consequential matters before the court in which they hold widely documented financial and personal entanglements constitutes a grave threat to American rule of law."
