AOC: Justices Who Lied About Roe In Confirmation Hearings Should Be Impeached

[Webster]

(The Guardian) Progressive congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has proposed the impeachment of supreme court justices who allegedly misled senators about their thoughts on Roe during their confirmation hearings.

At least two senators, Republican Susan Collins and Democrat Joe Manchin, have said the reversal of Roe contradicts Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh’s previous comments about the landmark case.

“I believe lying under oath is an impeachable offense,” Ocasio-Cortez said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” yesterday. “And I believe that this is something that should be very seriously considered, including by senators like Joe Manchin and Susan Collins.”


Ocasio-Cortez also pointed to the alleged involvement of Ginni Thomas, the wife of supreme court Justice Clarence Thomas, in the January 6 insurrection to argue that the court is losing its credibility with the public.

She warned that the supreme court’s willingness to issue sweeping, unpopular decisions could threaten the foundation of America’s system of government.

“This is not just a crisis of Roe; this is a crisis of our democracy. The supreme court has dramatically overreached its authority,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “This is a crisis of legitimacy, and President Biden must address that.”

If they have seen the stats on political shifts mind dead AOC would understand how stupid her comments are.

Given her district is, according to the Cook PVI, D +25, she can say these things without worrying about the consequences.

In a swing/marginally Democratic district, not so much....
