Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, appears to be trying to have the justices of the Supreme Court impeached.
AOC appeared to have every originalist member on the court dismissed during an interview with NBC News. According to the Western Journal, she singled out Clarence Thomas as being especially impeachment-deserving.
“If we allow Supreme Court nominees to lie under oath and secure lifetime appointments to the highest court of the land and then issue, issue without basis—if you read these opinions—issue without basis rulings that deeply undermine human civil rights of the majority of Americans,” AOC said.
“There must be consequences.”
She continued by repeating the lie that Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and other judges had lied about maintaining Roe v. Wade’s precedent.
“I believe that violating federal law in not disclosing income from political organizations as Clarence Thomas did years ago, is also potentially an impeachable offense,” AOC told NBC News.
AOC is actually referring to the non-disclosure that Thomas’s wife, Ginny, works for the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank.
Despite AOC’s insistence, it doesn’t seem like the Thomas family’s failure to disclose Mrs. Thomas’s work history was illegal.
On the other side, AOC has been charged with giving her boyfriend access to campaign funds.
“I believe that not refusing from cases that one clearly has family members involved in with very deep violations of conflict of interest, also impeachable offense,” the congresswoman said.
“And I believe that this is something that should be very seriously considered including by senators like Joe Manchin and Susan Collins.”
Many people understand that the justices are only carrying out their responsibilities, but AOC, the Left, and supporters of the so-called “living document” appear more focused on advancing their own agenda than promoting the Constitution.
