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.
