Tell Your Representative: Begin impeachment proceedings against Justice Thomas and Justice Alito.
To Your Representative:
I am a constituent from Big Lake.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced articles of impeachment against Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito for “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” in violation of Article II of the U.S. Constitution, making them unfit to continue serving on the Supreme Court.
As your constituent, I am urging you to support impeachment proceedings against Justice Thomas and Justice Alito.
Investigative reporting has exposed that Justice Thomas and Justice Alito have accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in gifts from billionaires. Thomas has also refused to recuse himself from matters before the Court in which his wife had an interest, including attempts to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election. Justice Alito, meanwhile, displayed a symbol of the January 6th insurrection and the “Stop the Steal” movement outside his house after the 2020 election and then flew an“Appeal to Heaven” flag, a symbol of Christian nationalism, over his vacation home in 2023. Alito, like Thomas, refused to recuse himself in cases related to January 6.
The Framers of our Constitution called on Congress specifically to hold judicial officers, including Supreme Court justices, accountable for high crimes and misdemeanors that compromise the integrity of the Court. Given the compelling evidence against Justice Thomas and Justice Alito for repeated transgressions fitting this description, it is imperative that the Judiciary Committee promptly begin impeachment proceedings against them.
