This story is funny for a lot of reasons, but mostly because it's getting no media traction at all — the big story today is George Clooney's op-ed encouraging President Joe Biden to drop out of the race. But in case you missed it, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
Today, I introduced articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

Check out the list of co-sponsors: Reps. Barbara Lee, Rashida Tlaib, Bonnie Watson Coleman, Delia Ramirez, Maxwell Frost, Ilhan Omar, Jamaal Bowman, and Jasmine Crockett. She's almost got the whole Squad on board, including Bowman, who will be looking for another job soon.
I read her full statement even though I didn't want to and did not come away convinced. I do believe in the separation of powers, though, and that Democrats can't stand not controlling every branch of government. They've been doing all they can to undermine the legitimacy of the Supreme Court, and President Joe Biden has just been defying its ruling.
You are being erratic and emotional, please calm down.

The Communist Dems are so emboldened and desperate that they will do anything to take down and destroy what they don’t control!
Not ruling the way you want isn’t impeachable in America.

You’re throwing a temper tantrum for internet points.

That is pretty rich coming from someone with their own ethics violations

Nobody is going to impeach a Supreme Court Justice.

Publicity stunt. To impeach would require a vote of impeachment by the House (219 R's vs 213 D's) and a trial and conviction by the Senate (49 R's vs 47 D's). Ain't happening.

The lawfare continues. Democrats are determined to denounce, prosecute, & punish anyone who doesn't support their policies.

That's the key symptom of repressive authoritarianism, by the way.
Before you accuse anyone else of tyranny, @AOC, have a look in the mirror.
Oh honey…..you poor thing. Just keep exposing yourself and your kind.

Let's see how far this gets.
