Clarence Thomas is in Deep Doo
Two Democratic senators have asked the DOJ to open an investigation
It’s on. It’s so on. Remember when I talked about AOC promising to introduce articles of impeachment against unnamed SOTUS justices?
She has released her two articles of impeachment against Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. She is accusing Alito of violating ethics rules by refusing to recuse himself from decisions involving Trump thanks to his flag-flying spouse. AOC is accusing Thomas of violating ethics rules by failing to report the lavish gifts and vacations he has received from friends. As well as refusing to recuse himself from decisions in cases where his spouse has financial or political interests.
Pausing to catch my breath. While I do that, here is what AOC has to say about this:
“The unchecked corruption crisis on the Supreme Court has now spiraled into a Constitutional crisis threatening American democracy writ large. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s pattern of refusal to recuse from consequential matters before the court in which they hold widely documented financial and personal entanglements constitutes a grave threat to American rule of law, the integrity of our democracy, and one of the clearest cases for which the tool of impeachment was designed.”
