Our Rev Supports Articles of Impeachment Against Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito & Clarence Thomas
“Let’s face it, the nation’s highest court has been compromised. Justices Alito and Thomas are on the payroll of billionaire Republican donors and must be held accountable for violating the law and betraying the trust of the American people”
Our Revolution supports the filing of articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, both of whom continue to face mounting scrutiny for failure to disclose millions of dollars worth of lavish gifts from conservative billionaire donors.
Recent reports indicate that both justices have received undisclosed gifts and substantial financial advantages from wealthy conservative supporters. Also, they have not recused themselves from cases where conflicts of interest exist and have demonstrated support for efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election.
These actions constitute abuses of power and are impeachable offenses. They undermine the impartiality and legitimacy of the Court and violate the public’s trust.
The effort to uphold the Constitution, led by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), comes on the heels of the shocking decision by the nation’s highest court to grant broad immunity from prosecution to former President Donald Trump as he faces felony charges for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
“Let’s face it, the nation’s highest court has been compromised. Justices Alito and Thomas are on the payroll of billionaire Republican donors and must be held accountable for violating the law and betraying the trust of the American people,” said Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese.
Geevarghese continues, “If Congress refuses to take action, the horrifying ruling granting broad immunity to would-be dictators will only be the tip of the iceberg. Democracy is truly on the line, and we stand firmly behind efforts by Congressman Ocasio-Cortez to reign in these rogue justices.”
