AOC Pushes to Impeach Supreme Court Justices Thomas and Alito
The impeachment articles cite undisclosed gifts and conflicts of interest, but face slim chances in the Republican-controlled House.
- Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced impeachment resolutions against Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
- The resolutions accuse Thomas and Alito of failing to disclose gifts and not recusing themselves from cases involving conflicts of interest.
- Justice Thomas is specifically criticized for accepting gifts from billionaire Harlan Crow and not reporting them, as well as his wife's political activities.
- Justice Alito faces scrutiny over an undisclosed luxury trip and his wife's display of an upside-down American flag during the 2020 election aftermath.
- Legal analysts and Democratic lawmakers acknowledge that the impeachment efforts are unlikely to succeed in the current political landscape.
