AOC Moves to Impeach Supreme Court Justices Thomas and Alito
The success of either resolution against arguably the two most conservative justices is unlikely given Republican control of the House.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm willing to bet that even if the two judges were removed tomorrow, the Democrats wouldn't add any judges because they'd want to "play fair" and not assign someone right before an election.
It was Mitch McConnell and the Republics that blocked Merrick Garland, not the Democrats.
That is true, but you also have to remember the Democrats BARELY put up a fight against their nonsense because they were SO certain they were going to win in 2016.
This "Put all our eggs in one basket, the people are too smart to fall for this" crap ALWAYS undoes the Democrats. Every single time.
Shit wasn't even that long ago and people are already distorting and misremembering it... smh
And Democrats are likely to apply the same bullshit excuse that McConnell pulled on themselves.
They did in 2020 when they let Trump nominate a justice a month before the election. Obama was denied his appointment because the election was nearly a year away
They've been playing that game since Reagan, so yeah.
You also want that juicy carrot at the end of that stick during an election year. Ensure your voters are going to vote for you or else risking losing your whole democracy.
Counter point - you get them installed so they can make meaningful decisions that help the people and then constantly remind the public:
We did that! We did that! We did that! Vote for us and there will be more of that.
That’s literally the stick and not the carrot
They would. But Democrats don't have a majority in the Senate, so confirmation won't happen. Manchin and Sinema are the necessary independents likely to refuse to confirm.
