“Alito’s next opinion piece in the WSJ is about to be ‘I am a little king, actually. The Constitution doesn’t explicitly say I’m not,’” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) quipped.
Impeach or shut the fuck up "Progressives".
At least they could use it to fundraise, right?
Impeachment starts in the House, which is currently run by Republicans. So that's a non-starter unless you want to impeach Kagan, Sotomayor or Brown-Jackson.
You need a majority vote in the house and the Republican majority will NEVER vote to impeach a Republican Supreme Court justice when there's a Democratic President. Will never happen.
This is the same political body who needed 15 votes to decide who their own leader was.
House leadership doesn't do anything without knowing the votes are there first and they are absolutely not there.
The problem is any mass mobilization against him will come from those further Right, not Left.
In the House, the Left is in the minority, the entire Democratic body could mobilize against McCarthy and he wouldn't give two shits, because as far as he's concerned, they're already against him. They're the minority, he doesn't have to care.
Anyone else notice how the two arguably worst Supreme Court justices were nominated by the so-called "moderate" Bush family?
Well, here's the problem. Alito is correct, that Congress can't impose "ethics rules" on the court.
The sole remedy given to the people is impeachment, and Bribery is explicitly listed as a valid basis for impeachment under Article 1.
We would never get an impeachment through the Senate, of course.
Alito: “Regulate us, I dare you!”
Congressional Dems: “Hold our beers..."
Alito: “Regulate us, I dare you!”
Congressional Dems: “Hold our beers..."
Narrator voice: They did not actually regulate Alito. Ever. And they sip wine instead of beer.

pile on
And do absolutely fucking nothing that actually changes that.
