The Democrat from New York believes that the Supreme Court is currently facing a corruption crisis that they cannot control. It is up to Congress to protect the nation from this authoritarian takeover. It is stated that the House will return from its recess soon. The congresswoman plans to file articles of impeachment but it is unclear which justices she will seek to impeach.
Previously, she mentioned Justice Clarence Thomas for not disclosing luxury trips paid for by Republican billionaires. The recent ruling by the Supreme Court provides presidents with immunity from criminal prosecution for most official acts, which has raised concerns. Democrats currently do not have enough control in the House to move forward with impeachment proceedings against the justices.
The impeachment bid is seen as a significant escalation in Democrats’ efforts to hold the justices accountable. The goal is to ensure that the extreme, far-right justices are acting in accordance with the Constitution. Overall, there is growing concern about ethics scandals within the Supreme Court and the impact of conservative opinions on important precedents like Roe v. Wade.
