Even before being officially sworn into the new Congress, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14) wasted no time revealing the radical left's true intentions, telling CNN's Manu Raju this week that Democrats must leave "all options on the table." Her target? The Supreme Court of the United States, with a chilling proposal to impeach justices.
"How high do you go? Do you try to impeach Trump?" Raju asked.
"I think we should leave all options on the table, absolutely," Ocasio-Cortez declared. "I mean, of course, this Supreme Court as well, has also kind of legalized a lot of his criminality. And they're pointing at impeachment."
"We'll see. We'll approach it, but I think all options are on the table."
Impeachment because the Supreme Court "legalized a lot"? This kind of rambling justification, paired with her characteristic eye-rolling search for a coherent thought, serves as a stark reminder: AOC's pre-teen intellect remains the left's gift that keeps on giving. When the radical left needs to go low, Ocasio-Cortez consistently finds new depths of weapons-grade absurdity. Because of course she does.
Democrats have long telegraphed their desire to stack the Supreme Court, an overt power grab designed to subvert the separation of powers. Now, Ocasio-Cortez has taken that radicalism a step further, suggesting impeachment for justices simply because they rule in favor of the law and the Constitution -- a concept apparently alien to the progressive agenda.
Though she conveniently failed to name names in her latest pronouncement, her history speaks volumes. In July 2024, she famously introduced articles of impeachment against Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, which were, thankfully, dismissed by the then-Republican-controlled House.
And there it is: A Democrat, once again, targeting a historic black figure -- Justice Clarence Thomas, the second African American and longest-serving Black justice in American history. The irony is, as always, lost on the left.
Esteemed legal scholar Jonathan Turley rightly points out that Ocasio-Cortez "is suggesting a type of collective guilt for 'high crimes and misdemeanors.'" Turley, a consistent voice of reason, warns that Democrats have been pushing for the impeachment of conservative justices for years "on specious grounds."
"Democrats appear to be adopting an 'impeach-them-all-and-let-God-sort-them-out' approach to the upcoming session of Congress," Turley explained, accurately summarizing the left's destructive impulses.
Is anyone truly surprised by this escalating rhetoric? Not incoming House Minority Leader Jim Jordan (OH-4). Jordan previously told Sean Hannity to expect a relentless barrage of impeachments, not just against a former President, but against a wide array of perceived political opponents.
"There'll be a third impeachment. They can't help themselves," Jordan noted. "They're going to go after everyone in the Cabinet. We've already seen that with Secretary of War Hegseth. They're going to go after people in the private sector, which I think is ridiculous."
However, Ocasio-Cortez's grand plan faces a rather inconvenient hurdle: a fundamental math problem. And given her track record, basic arithmetic has likely been a lifelong challenge for the Congresswoman.
While the House can impeach a justice with a simple majority -- which Democrats are poised to command -- actually removing a justice requires a two-thirds vote in the Senate, or 67 votes if all 100 senators are present. Current projections place Democrats at 55 seats and Republicans at 44, with Alaska still uncalled. This means Democrats would need approximately 11 or 12 Republican votes, an utterly fantastical scenario for impeaching Supreme Court justices.
As Turley correctly assesses, "Since Democrats do not have enough votes to overcome a veto, they are looking at gridlock on legislation. What they can offer is rage in the form of investigations and impeachments."
"In the meantime, the Democratic Party is sounding like a party of berserkers. There is little recognition of the dangerous, destabilizing impact of such actions on our constitutional system."
The historical record only reinforces this reality: only one Supreme Court justice, Samuel Chase in 1804, has ever been impeached by the House, and he was subsequently acquitted by the Senate the following year.
Democrats haven't even taken their oaths of office, yet Ocasio-Cortez is already targeting the highest court in the land. Her dream of removing a justice is a pipe dream, exposed by simple math, but it's a chilling indicator of the radical left's unyielding desire to tear down any institution that stands in the way of their agenda. This assault on our constitutional system, driven by political spite rather than legal principle, is precisely why the America First movement must remain vigilant in defending the foundational pillars of our republic.
