Rep. Ocasio-Cortez to File Articles of Impeachment Against Supreme Court Justices
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Monday's landmark ruling follows a series of high-profile corruption
scandals at the Supreme Court, and after Justices Samuel Alito and
Clarence Thomas refused to recuse themselves from the case over
conflicts of interest. That's sparked some Democrats to call for their
impeachment. On Monday, New York Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
wrote, "The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis
beyond its control. Today's ruling represents an assault on American
democracy. It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this
authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon
our return." We'll have more on Monday's momentous Supreme Court ruling
after headlines.
