U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez filed articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito for what she said was their failure to report gifts and refusal to recuse from cases in which they were conflicted. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Given the Supreme Court’s refusal to deal with the issue itself, “Congress has a legal, moral, and democratic obligation to impeach,” the New York Democrat said in a press release on Wednesday. Progressives and others have criticized both justices over reports they accepted vacations from wealthy people and failed to recuse from cases despite conflicts they said were created by their spouses.

Conservatives have decried Supreme Court ethics concerns as a political ploy by the left to undo the 6-3 conservative majority that has overturned the constitutional right to abortion, undermined affirmative action and voting rights, strengthened gun rights, and weakened the power of federal regulatory agencies. Mark Paoletta, a conservative lawyer and vocal Thomas defender, called the effort on X “Democratic lawfare against their adversaries.” The Supreme Court didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Samuel Chase was the lone justice to be impeached by the House, in 1804.

  • Jimmy Hoffa, Where For Art Thou?
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 07/29/2024 - 11:00 PM

    There's been almost as much written about Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance as there is is over the JFK shooting. On July 30, 1975, Hoffa went to a restaurant in suburban Detroit for what is thought to have been a meeting with Teamster officials. He was never seen again and was legally declared “presumed dead” in 1982. Mind you, JFK dwarfs all conspiracies, but we do know that the mob could have been implicated in both. Jack Nicholson portrayed the Teamster man in the 1992 film. Was Hoffa's body found buried next to a Milwaukee baseball stadium by a search dog called Moxy?

    “North Carolina Gov.
