AOC Files Impeachment Articles Against Supreme Court Justices Thomas and Alito

The articles cite undisclosed gifts and failure to recuse from cases with personal and financial conflicts, but face an uphill battle in a GOP-controlled House.

  • Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced articles of impeachment against Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito for ethical violations.
  • The justices are accused of not disclosing gifts and failing to recuse themselves from cases involving conflicts of interest.
  • The impeachment articles are co-sponsored by several progressive Democrats but are unlikely to advance in the Republican-majority House.
  • Democratic senators have called for a special counsel to investigate Thomas's acceptance of hospitality from wealthy donors.
  • Both justices deny any wrongdoing, asserting their actions are consistent with ethical guidelines.
