In case you missed it — and, given that it was on “The View,” you most likely did — Ana Navarro suggested yesterday that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should undergo cognitive testing.
#TheView's @ananavarro Suggests 'Cognitive Tests' for Supreme Court Justices After Criticizing Clarence Thomas https://t.co/pKxqYJxvSw

Oddly enough, she didn’t make any similar recommendations for President Joe Biden, who, according to himself, may be Irish but is not stupid.
Anyway, Navarro’s suggestion that Justice Thomas is cognitively impaired is quite ridiculous, not to mention downright insulting. But to her credit, she hasn’t gone quite as far as MSNBC/Peacock host Mehdi Hasan. At least not yet.
For the record, here’s where Mehdi Hasan is at right now:
In which @mehdirhasan makes the case that impeaching Justice Clarence Thomas wouldn't succeed in that the Senate wouldn't remove him, but that it would be a good *political* move for Democrats.

It’s certainly a bold idea, we’ll give Mehdi that much.
It actually makes a lot of sense politically, not just morally, for Democrats in the House to impeach the deeply-conflicted Clarence Thomas as soon as possible, as I argue in my latest @MSNBC op-ed:https://t.co/0XvYZ4zteD pic.twitter.com/n52Enqn3xY

What if it makes neither political nor moral sense? Because that seems to be the case here, Mehdi.
Yes, loudly drawing attention to the clearly impeachable behavior of a conservative Justice, and forcing Republicans to defend him, all while the conservative court he’s on continues to gut policies liberals care about, is good politics. Not sure why this is so hard to follow. https://t.co/VbbpPc4stc

Also, convicted or not, being impeached is for life. Ask Donald Trump.

Can we impeach Mehdi Hasan? He’s a lot more problematic than Clarence Thomas, what with being an anti-Israel, antisemitic leftist propagandist and all.
Also, he’s just plain annoying.
