i don't know whether AOCs call for impeaching the justices will be the right one (it doesn't have a chance in hell of getting through), but the conversation has to start with congress, who are prime offenders in letting the court get to this point, and i'm encouraged someone there recognizes that

Durbin is my senator and he continues to reply with form letters assuring that “Chief Justice Roberts will do the right thing”. They still don’t understand what playing field they are even standing on.

I'm at least open to every idea, and this is a thing within her power and within her responsibility. Though because of the House it will go nowhere, the Senate won't even get a chance to kill it.

It would mostly be political theater, but potentially the sort that motivates new laws.

I'm hoping it at least raises public awareness and puts politicians on record. "Do you support lawless presidents?"

Absolutely agree...it's time, and it needs to he taken seriously. They've gone too far....let me refrase that. They already gone too far with killing Roe, but now they're just mocking the US. SCOTUS needs to be dealt with

She is one of the best parliamentarians in there right now but also understands the interplay between the House, the media, and voters, and how to position herself there in a maximally useful way. The left and the wider coalition are very lucky to have her there.

Morelle is proposing a constitutional amendment reversing the decision. Some of these folks understand the moment.

I'm not sure that her proposal will work--I mean, the GOP currently hold the house and Speaker Johnson is a Trump suck-up. However...if it lights a fire under people's feet to make sure that Democrats win the House and keep the Senate in November, then what she proposes may be a big help.

Impeachment is an appropriate response, but a politics that admitted it as a possibility wouldn't require it. We need new laws, but we don't have a Congress that would give them. So all we can do is say what we would do, if we could.

She gets that you have to do something beyond acting 'very concerned'. No matter how far it can get, it can give the base a little energy boost and signal to Republicans that Dems won't take everything lying down.

I think AOC’s purpose here is to do just that – get it on the Congressional record that there are members of Congress who are paying attention to the court’s corruption.

The issue isn't necessarily the performative politics. It's blaming Democrats when the performative politics on their own fail.

If the Senate, Congress, the WH, & Schumer’s/Durbin’s offices get lots of angry calls from us, over the next several days, they’ll at least get a sense of the public pressure they ought to be responding to.

given impeachment thresholds, I think "expand the court" or some purely legislative answer is the only realistic one that could get through at the same time, I think the sentiment behind impeachment is the right one, because the message should be that these maniacs have failed and must be removed

The entire point of the Supreme Court is to be a non bias party. This is getting incredibly out of hand

Imagine if the courts were flipped on the Democrats side, and they kept pulling this shit. There would be countless calls for impeachment from the right.
