Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is still trying to steal headlines and distract from the failure of Joe Biden by introducing articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
This is nothing but ridiculous and silly grandstanding. There are no grounds for the impeachment of Thomas or Alito. Thomas did not violate any ethics standards of the Supreme Court by hanging out with people who happen to be rich Republicans any more than Democrats on the Supreme Court have violated their ethical standards by hanging out with rich Democrats.
Being on the Supreme Court automatically makes you a member of the economic and philosophical elite in this country. That’s just the way it works.
The idea that Samuel Alito should also be impeached demonstrates the full-scale insanity of the joke. The Democrats are claiming that a full-on senile president who’s incapable of forming sentences should remain in the White House, and everyone in the cabinet who knew who he is senile should remain.
But Alito’s wife flew flags the Democrats didn’t like, and they’re trying to construct that into some sort of statement about January 6 so that Alito is impeached.
Ocasio-Cortez knows her act is going nowhere. She doesn’t control the House. But getting a member to introduce articles of impeachment is the simplest thing in the world.
It’s an attempt to undermine the credibility of the Supreme Court. These same people say Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, yet our institutions are filing articles of impeachment against Thomas and Alito for absolutely nothing. They’re completely fine with the integrity of the Supreme Court as long as the majority is made up by people sympathetic to Democrats.
WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show
The minute that there is a Republican majority, a Republican-appointed majority on the Supreme Court, then it’s time for the Democrats to destroy the institution as a whole.
Yesterday, Ocasio-Cortez put out a statement saying, “The unchecked corruption crisis on the Supreme Court has now spiraled into a Constitutional crisis threatening American democracy writ large. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel 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, the integrity of our democracy, and one of the clearest cases for which the tool of impeachment was designed.”
What “unchecked corruption crisis”? Please name the case in which Clarence Thomas was paid for his opinion. Can she? The answer, of course, is no, she cannot.
So what are the impeachment articles against Thomas?
First, “Failure to disclose financial income, gifts and reimbursement, property interests, liabilities, and transactions, among other information.” Yet he did all of the legal disclosures he’s required to do.
Next, “Refusal to recuse from matters concerning his spouse’s legal interest in cases before the court.” She is not named in any of the court cases. If my spouse has political interests, why should I have to recuse based on that? I seem to remember being told by Democrats that to even imply that married women don’t have their own political interests because they’re married, and so they’re obviously impacting their husband or vice versa, would be sexist.
Ocasio-Cortez says with regard to Alito, “Refusal to recuse from matters involving his spouse’s financial interest in cases before the court.” Personal bias or prejudice? I’m sorry. Is the new standard that justices are not supposed to know people or groups? Because that’s going to be a hard one for Democrats to fulfill.

This is not going anywhere. The sponsors are the usual cast of idiots: Barbara Lee (D-CA), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Delia Ramirez (D-IL), Maxwell Frost (D-FL), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). It’s the clown caucus. And many of those members are also members of the pro-Hamas caucus in the House of Representatives.
This is AOC’s latest attempt to storm the castle.
Pathetic.
