Hi,
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced articles of impeachment
against Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.^1 Both justices have been
embroiled in ethics scandals and had glaring conflicts of interest in the
Trump immunity case — where the right-wing justices granted “absolute
immunity” to American presidents.
The articles of impeachment are based on Thomas and Alito’s acceptance and
failure to disclose lavish gifts and luxury travel paid for by GOP
mega-donors and others with interests in pending SCOTUS cases. AOC also
targeted the justices’ mysterious income, failure to recuse in cases with
clear conflicts of interest, and connections of their spouses to court
proceedings — like Ginni Thomas’ involvement in efforts to overturn the
2020 election.^2
Thomas and Alito’s corruption are a threat to our democracy and they must
be removed from the Supreme Court.

Upon introducing the articles of impeachment, AOC said, “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.”^3
Congress must join AOC and act strongly and swiftly to hold Thomas and
Alito accountable.
