Washington D.C.—Today, July 10, 2024, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) introduced articles of impeachment against United States Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
"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," tbe lawmaker says.
It may not unseat them, but it will be a matter of record that this action was introduced. It all hinges on getting the votes from Congress, if I understand this process correctly, and it seems very unlikely unless there is increased pressure on legislators (but we all saw how they've regularly ignored their constituents on the current genocide in Palestine, among other major issues).
