Ocasio-Cortez Introduces Impeachment Articles Against SCOTUS Justices

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, alleging ethical violations, failure to disclose gifts, and refusal to recuse from relevant cases. The impeachment effort, unlikely to advance in the Republican-controlled House and Senate, follows criticism of the Court's recent decisions, including granting broad immunity to past presidents. Ocasio-Cortez's move reflects broader concerns about the justices' ethical conduct and potential influence on American democracy. The articles highlight Thomas's ties to GOP donors and Alito's failure to recuse himself from cases involving personal biases. Co-sponsored by other Democratic representatives, the impeachment articles aim to address what Ocasio-Cortez sees as a significant threat to the rule of law and constitutional integrity.
