Why? You have to read it to believe it.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has led the charge to impeach U.S. Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel J. Alito, Jr. on grounds of alleged failure to report gifts and for political views that AOC asserts compromise their ethical obligation toward impartiality. In particular, AOC is enraged that Justice Thomas has questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 elections and the Democrat narrative regarding the events of January 6, 2021, and that Justice Alito’s wife passionately supported Donald Trump through the so-called insurrection and displayed flags AOC connects to extremism.
The impeachment resolutions attempt to dismantle the SCOTUS — not by depoliticizing it, but by hyper-politicizing it (like everything else in social justice America) into a one-party ideological apparatus. Co-sponsors of AOC’s Court impeachment coup include the usual extremist suspects Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Jamaal Bowman, but equally revealing is the resolutions’ “endorsers,” a hodgepodge of dodgy socialist NGOs and radically progressive cultural Marxists.
Wives’ Knives Out
Justice Alito has publicly explained that his wife was solely responsible for displaying an upside-down U.S. flag and that he permits her to exercise her political liberties. Still, the resolution faults the justice for “allowing” her to do so:
In January 2021, Justice Alito allowed an upside-down American flag to be flown outside his primary residence for several days. At the time, an upside-down American flag was widely understood to be an expression of support for the criminal efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and was a symbol displayed by those who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Meanwhile, Justice Thomas’s wife dared to express political speech verboten to the self-proclaimed Democrat protectors of American democracy. The resolution against Justice Thomas avers:
Mrs. Thomas advised the President to initiate and sustain political, legal, and extralegal attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 Presidential election (writing, “Do not concede”; “The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History”; “save us from the left taking America down”).
Among the endorsers of these resolutions is UltraViolet, whose website declares:
UltraViolet is a powerful and rapidly growing community of people mobilized to fight sexism and create a more inclusive world that accurately represents all women, from politics and government to media and pop culture. … We fight attacks against women and work toward a proactive vision of what equality looks like for women.
This so-called “more inclusive world that accurately represents all women” does not include political views. According to UltraViolet and AOC, a “proactive vision of what equality looks like for women” means telling two women they are not free to engage in protected First Amendment political expression while demanding that their powerful husbands stifle them or face impeachment.
Extremist Endorsements
Other “endorsers” of AOC’s ridiculous effort include the People’s Parity Project, Our Revolution, NextGen America, and Take Back the Court. Their dogmatic jibber-jabber exposes the far-left extremism of these impeachments.
The People’s Parity Project advocates for a thinly veiled Marxism enforced by a legal system that does not feign objectivity:
The People’s Parity Project is a movement of law students and attorneys organizing for a democratized legal system which empowers working people and opposes subordination in any form. … We are working towards our long-term goal: a world in which lawyers understand that the practice of law is inherently political, that they are empowered to choose a side and choose to fight for the people, and that they are then held accountable by their professional community and the public as a whole for shaping the law into a force for true justice. … Rather than seeing the courts as sacrosanct and above reproach, a referee standing apart from the game, we see the courts as another player on the field, capable of all the moves, pressures, and adaptations that we expect from members of Congress and other elected officials.
The Supreme Court must be mobilized, according to social justice ideology, not as an impartial arbiter of citizen disputes, but as an active political agent toward the liberation of the marginalized and the achievement of economic, environmental, and racial Nirvana:
NextGen America is the nation’s largest youth voter organization, mobilizing millions of young people each year to support progressive candidates and causes.
At NextGen, we know that young people have the courage and imagination to make our leaders tackle our biggest challenges. Our nation needs that courage again to solve climate change, racial injustice, economic inequality, and to save democracy itself.
AOC, et al. seek to displace two justices for their (and their wives’) conservative political views so that the institution of the Court may be more fully weaponized solely for the advancement of social justice causes instead. This is the declared intention of endorser Take Back the Court:
DEMOCRACY WILL DIE UNLESS WE TAKE BACK THE COURT. To restore the right to vote, ensure reproductive freedom, protect workers, halt our climate emergency, and save democracy, Congress must add seats to the U.S. Supreme Court.
AOC’s impeachment initiative is a politically motivated ploy timed to distract national attention from a floundering POTUS while virtue-signaling faux righteousness before the Cult-Party faithful.
The Democrats lack a party majority in the House (necessary to pass the articles of impeachment to the Senate) and hold only a bare majority in the U.S. Senate (where the resolutions would require a two-thirds vote for conviction). There is no way that these outrageous, anti-American resolutions will pass.
AOC’s hypocrisy is plain: she attacks these justices for political views she claims are inappropriate to the Court while shamelessly advancing far more partisan one-party totalitarianism — always in the name of justice.

So, the “Democrats” want a Socialist Republic, and the “Republicans” want Democracy. WHY do we keep these names for the parties?

An upside-down flag is flown in this tradition to signal that the US is under attack or in distress. Tragically, it IS.
Now, desecrating (as an example – lighting it on fire & trampling it) a US flag is often another matter altogether, yet it has been done repeatedly and openly by anarchists, leftist extremists, Hamas terrorist supporters, and BLM sympathizers throughout the past several years. Yet I never heard a peep out of this actual traitor to the flag, did you?
You don’t think this lunatic is hypocritical or using this to illicitly target political foes, do you?
She (AOC, the bar tender-best talent) got her walking orders from Schumer who threatened the two SCOTUS Trump got in. Her head has been in the swamp to long and is disillusional, some kind of worm got into it. Now Biden wants to change the SCOTUS. However all the items he wants applied to the Supreme Court actually should be applied to Congress–term limits, report all doings. Ruth Bader Ginsberg received ove a million bucks, nothing about her, but it’s too late now. Bet she doesn’t have angle wings.
Another brain dead desire of Biden. Others have told him what they want. The Constitution separates the three branches, It would take 2/3 off the states to approve. Biden is whistling Dixie. Seemingly a grand exit.
So, the author and commenters here support the rights of Supreme Court Justices to take unlimited, lavish gifts, favors, and ‘donations’, and to fly divisive political protest flags of their choosing. Do you all think that they have the right to actively campaign for their political hero, too?
She’s very specifically commenting on judge Thomas and his particular situation with a billionaire friend who paid for his son’s school.
I suggest you go look up the circumstances surrounding that and maybe you’ll have a little compassion and sympathy for what he has to go through.
Good for you if you think that any commenter here can name more than one Supreme Court justice let alone understand the ramifications of the fact that nine unelected officials (most of whom are corrupt as fu$$) can thwart the will of the people. These are the same people that when Trump was winning crowed about our democracy and now that he is going to get waxed by Kamala CLING to the electoral college and say ignorant things like, “we’re a republic, not a democracy.” Doesn’t matter how you spin it because when you’re MAGA, you don’t stand for anything, which is why you fall for everything.
Democrats love America… expect for the constitution bit. Oh yeah and the system that has served America well for over 200 years.
Don’t like the outcome of an election? – abolish the electoral college
Don’t like guns? – abolish the second amendment.
Don’t like to be criticized? – call it hate speech and censor it.
Don’t like what Jesus says – complain about freedom of religion (though they haven’t dared to try that yet).
Don’t like the judges on the Supreme Court – call them corrupt (project onto your enemies the sin that are yours) and try to “reform” it.
How much is barmaid AOC worth these days. I hear she has quite the sophisticated slush fund set-up (through her bf) to finance a life of obscene luxury for years to come.
But hey, look over there!

This would be funny if it weren’t so sad, we have the so-called congresswoman whose background is a bartender, promoting this nonsense, this loudmouth moron is just
a puppet………………… she gives a bad name to bartenders !!
i guess you could call a bar tender a lawyer////
In regard to Chris: Good for you if you think that any commenter here can name more than one Supreme Court justice let alone understand the ramifications of the fact that nine unelected officials (most of whom are corrupt as fu$$) can thwart the will of the people. These are the same people that when Trump was winning crowed about our democracy and now that he is going to get waxed by Kamala CLING to the electoral college and say ignorant things like, “we’re a republic, not a democracy.” Doesn’t matter how you spin it because when you’re MAGA, you don’t stand for anything, which is why you fall for everything.
Too stoopid to know he’s a Communist. Too Cowardly to use his last name.
The politicians in DC have a slush fund to get them out of all the sexual harassment charges brought against them and sot a thing is said, and nobody knows who they are.
So it’s OK to burn an American flag but you can’t fly one up side down. These people need to be sent to internment camps for reeducation.
Are you really that stupid? I couldn’t care less what people do to the American flag. I do care that a Supreme Court justice who is ethically bound to remain impartiality publicly shows support for an attempted coup.
From the SC Code of Conduct for Justices:
“A Justice should disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in
which the Justice’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned . . .”
On top of that both Thomas and Alito are undeniably greedy grifters taking huge amounts of money from wealthy benefactors with interests before the court – and thumbing their noses at anyone who points out their blatant lack of ethics.
Let’s hope that President Harris will support Biden’s proposed SC reforms.
The Constitution gives us the right to burn a flag in protest ONLY if you own that flag or have the permission of the owner of the flag and are not violating any burn ordinances. If you want to get clever about disrespecting the flag in a public place, pass a law that establishes a maximum fine of $10 for assaulting someone for burning an American Flag. VP Candidate Vance is ridiculed for being weird because he hugs the flag. But seriously, coloring your hair pink, purple or orange is not weird?…being a grown, flamboyant gay man, dressing like a slutty woman and wanting to read stories to small children in a public library is not weird?…promoting the placement of tampon dispensers in a men’s restroom is not weird…? If you really want to get a liberal upset, burn a rainbow flag, or a palestinian or hamas flag.
JD Vance is considered weird because he wears eyeliner, banged a couch and goes around calling people cat ladies.
But seriously, coloring your hair pink, purple or orange is not weird? I would definitely agree dying your hair orange, wearing tons of bronzer and ranting about how you miss your old ozone destroying hairspray is really, really weird and not very masculine.
“If you really want to get a liberal upset, burn a rainbow flag, or a palestinian or hamas flag.” If you want to get a conservative mad, point out that their candidates for President and Vice President wear more makeup than the future 1st female president. So weird. So so manly
Chris coming with the bants!!
You should celebrate Republican candidates who are comfortable enough to be “their authentic selves”.
The difference Trump and Vance aren’t coming for your kids while the slime on the your side boast openly that they are doing exactly that.
But I suppose you missed that nuance when you were studying hard for your two masters degrees.
Seriously, did you just suggest that you support assaulting people you disagree with? Grow up. New low for you.
Doesn’t likely have any such degrees any more than the posTer has a doctoral degree – unless they were possibly earned from either Bennington College or Middlebury in “majors” such as “Advancement of Public Action” or “Gender & Sexuality” — ACTUAL fields of “study” in those colleges that lead one to fields of endeavor which are, of course, non-existent. How non-impressive in either case.
I hold a singular M.A. (who would ever choose to attain two???) & it’s essentially meaningless. Even M.D.’s can be almost simpletons today being selected largely on the basis of “diversifying” a student body and eventually the field of medicine. It’s certainly terrifying, but definitely not impressive by any means.
Education level is not necessarily a measure of someone’s intelligence either, or does it bear any connection whatsoever to common sense, and certainly not to independent thought……..as you may possibly witness based upon the mind-numbing blather likely to follow:
