In case you missed it, on Wednesday, Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced articles of impeachment against conservative supreme court justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
House Democrats are wilfully chooses to deflect the corruption of sitting U.S. President Joe Biden by targeting conservative Supreme Court justices.
Ocasio-Cortez claims that the justices are exhibiting a “pattern of refusal to recuse from consequential matters before the court”.
The Guardian reported that the articles of impeachment are "unlikely to gain traction in the US House, which is controlled by Republicans. The effort follows calls from two US senators, Sheldon Whitehouse and Ron Wyden, for the US attorney general to appoint a special counsel to investigate potential criminal violations of federal ethics and tax laws by Thomas."
Ocasio-Cortez wrote: “Justice Thomas and Alito’s repeated failure over decades to disclose that they received millions of dollars in gifts from individuals with business before the court is explicitly against the law. And their refusal to recuse from the specific matters and cases before the court in which their benefactors and spouses are implicated represents nothing less than a constitutional crisis."
The Democrats have been accused by the right of weaponizing the Justice system to drive their own agendas, primarily in the lawfare against Donald J. Trump, the censorship of Americans, and more.
Ocasio-Cortez's move to introduce articles of impeachment weighs on the claim that the Justices did not disclose luxury vacation trips.
The Guardian cites ProPublica, who reported that Justice Thomas "failed to disclose several luxury vacation trips that were paid for by Harlan Crow, a conservative megadonor. Thomas has also been pressed to recuse himself from cases involving the January 6 US Capitol attack and Donald Trump because his wife, Ginni, is involved with groups that were connected to the insurrection."
The irony is that U.S. President Joe Biden has spent more time on vacation than most, and has not reported his "10 percent for the Big Guy."
CBS Austin reported: "According to the Republican National Committee as of August 18, 2023, Biden has spent 382 days or 40% of his presidency out of office – days spent on vacation, personal business, or just regular days at one of his Delaware homes."
House Democrats are quick to jump on Supreme Court Justices, but fail to acknowledge the reality that the sitting "resident in Chief" "sold out to foreign actors who were seeking to gain influence and access to Joe Biden and the U.S. government," according to Hunter Biden's fotrmer business associate, Tony Bobulinski.
Bobulinski testified before the House Oversight Committee in February of 2024 during the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden, reiterating claims he made during the 2020 election, "that Biden was "an enabler" of several of his family's overseas business schemes.
The paper trail of Joe Biden's collusion with foreign actos has been long documented by the research group, 501c3 Marco Polo.
On February 21, 2024, Miranda Devine of The New York Post wrote: "Joe Biden and his Praetorian Guard in the media are over the moon about the indictment last week of FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, a US-Israeli dual national accused of having lied to the FBI when he claimed Hunter and Joe Biden each were paid a $5 million bribe by the owner of corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma."
Devine continued, "For more than three years, Joe Biden has refused to address the avalanche of evidence about his family’s corrupt influence-peddling while he was VP.
He has refused to address evidence that he was involved in son Hunter and brother Jim’s lucrative shakedown of shady characters in the world’s most corrupt countries — where he was in charge of US policy."
AOC's articles of impeachment were supported by seven other Democrats in the House.
"The resolution filed against Thomas contains three articles of impeachment. The first focuses on his failure to disclose gifts from Crow. The second two involve his refusal to recuse himself from cases connected to his wife.
Alito also took a vacation with and flew on a private jet chartered by Paul Singer, a Republican billionaire. Additionally, Alito refused to recuse himself from cases involving the attack on the US Capitol after it was reported that his wife, Martha-Ann, flew an upside-down American flag associated with the insurrection at their Virginia home. Further, the Alitos flew a flag associated with Christian nationalism at a beach home in New Jersey."
Ocasio-Cortez filed two articles of impeachment against Alito. One focuses on his failure to disclose luxury travel and the other on his refusal to recuse himself from January 6 cases.
Alito and Thomas were both part of a majority opinion earlier this month saying that former presidents have immunity from prosecution for official acts, a major win for Trump. They both also were in the majority in a case narrowing the grounds under which January 6 participants can be criminally prosecuted.
