The Supreme Court is facing a corruption crisis that the Democrats in New York believe they cannot control. Congress must take action to protect the nation from an authoritarian takeover. According to recent reports, the House will soon return from its recess and the congresswoman plans to file articles of impeachment against certain justices.
The impeachment bid is seen as a significant escalation in Democrats’ efforts to hold the justices accountable. They are concerned about ethics scandals within the Supreme Court and the impact of conservative opinions on important precedents like Roe v. Wade. Justice Clarence Thomas was previously mentioned for not disclosing luxury trips paid for by Republican billionaires, which has raised concerns about transparency and accountability within the court.
A recent ruling by the Supreme Court has provided presidents with immunity from criminal prosecution for most official acts, which has added to these concerns. Currently, Democrats do not have enough control in the House to move forward with impeachment proceedings against the justices, but this may change in the future.
