Democrats appear to be adopting an “impeach-them-all-and-let-God-sort-them-out” approach to the upcoming session of Congress.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested this week that Democrats may want to impeach United States Supreme Court justices because “you know, they kind of legalized a lot of his criminality.”
The democratic socialist has been promising “many, many, many” investigations into what she now calls the “criminals” in the Administration. In an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju, she added the justices to the list of potential targets:
“There are so many criminals in this administration, it’s hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations. There are going to be many, many, many investigations. I imagine many subpoenas, and we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us…I mean, I think we should leave all options on the table. Absolutely. 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. Impeachment in this Republican majority at that time was pointing at the Supreme Court/ We’ll see. We’ll approach it, but I think all options are on the table.” (emphasis added)
This is not the first such call by Ocasio-Cortez. She previously announced that she wants the impeachment of all six of the conservative justices. Other Democratic members immediately joined her call for Supreme Court impeachments. Ocasio-Cortez also admitted that she does not understand why we even have a Supreme Court. She asked, “How much does the current structure benefit us? And I don’t think it does.”
Democratic members have been calling for impeaching conservative justices for years on specious grounds. Justices Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Gorsuch have all been named in past impeachment demands. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, however, is suggesting a type of collective guilt for “high crimes and misdemeanors…and legalizing a lot.”
So, as Democratic leaders call to pack the Court with an instant liberal majority, others would like to remove conservatives through impeachment. These voices show the impact of the rage politics used to secure power in Congress. 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 History Channel is re-broadcasting the series ‘WWII” narrated by Tom Hanks. Hitler’s rise to power and the overwhelming support he received and why, gives one pause these ‘daze’ when one considers the tripe, offered up by the Democrat ‘horde’ with regard to its intentions going forward, their electorate minions have swallowed. Do not send to know who was elected. Send to know who voted. Therein lies the rub.
Reducing America to an illegitimate nation embroiled in insurgency and open rebellion was definitely not on my 2027 bingo card.
Retard says what? Make me a drink and sit down and be quiet.
You impeach them because they ignored the constitution to enable fascism.
examples please.
Please don’t ignore the coordination between government and non-governmental organizations raping the taxpayers in places like Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Miami…
I look forward to your silence.
Immunity decision. Trump ballot eligibility decision. Ballroom decision (minor but established that SCOTUS will not stop Trump even if they think what he is doing is illegal). Slaughter.
“There are so many criminals in this administration” Sandy’s definition of “crime/ criminal” is “your opinion does not agree with my deranged agenda”.
Sandy was chosen for her acting ability and her constituents are idiots,
oh boy, there goes that pesky disingenuousness from the professor. Dang. It’s pretty bad.
Calling the Democratic Party a “party of berserkers” over a routine, non-committal interview dodge is pure partisan rage-bait—and it relies on erasing everything House Republicans have actually been doing for the past two years.
First, you take Rep. Ocasio-Cortez saying “We’ll see… all options are on the table”during a CNN interview—an interview that was actually about Republican Rep. Thomas Massie’s bipartisan impeachment resolution against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth—and inflate it into an official Democratic crusade to impeach the entire Supreme Court. In reality, incoming House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries explicitly confirmed this week that not a single House Democrat has even approached him about impeaching President Trump, noting the caucus’s priorities are affordability and standard executive oversight. You also neglect to mention that removing any justice requires 67 votes in the Senate, making your warnings of a “destabilizing” judicial purge pure disingenuous BS.
More glaringly, the sudden pearl-clutching over “specious” judicial impeachments conveniently leaves out that House Republicans spent 2025 and 2026 formally filing articles of impeachment against federal judges simply for issuing rulings they disliked:
Unlike Democratic leadership—which hasn’t endorsed impeaching a single justice—House Speaker Mike Johnson publicly declared in January 2026 that he was “for”impeaching federal judges, prompting Chief Justice John Roberts to issue a rare public rebuke reminding lawmakers that judicial rulings are not impeachable offenses.
If you want to lecture Congress on the “destabilizing impact” of retaliatory judicial impeachments, Professor, you might want to start with the party that actually spent the last two years introducing them.
X: Don’t worry, you will never have to worry that your overloading of commentary will ever be deemed as “rage-baiting.” …you might be releasing your own rage, but no one seems to be taking your bait. p.s. instead of relying on AI and google so much, why don’t you save up your tips, so that you can buy a Thesaurus to help you find synonyms (is that word too big for you?) for ‘disingenuous’ and ‘hilarious.’
That’s it? That’s all you got? That’s lame.
Maybe “Lame” should be your new sign-in, X. although “X” implies “canceled out.”
LOL! Still lame.
I thought the anonymous comment was pretty funny. Fits you to a T*
*T as in tee hee

He did say that. He was obviously lying.
Turley benefits from the trickle-down grift. He’s such a virtuous man.
Regarding Ms. Occasio-Cortez, you can’t fix stupid, but you can elect it.
That’s how we got Trump. Pretty sad.
Revisiting a Pelosi-rrection? Perhaps wield a liberal license in a Whitmer-conspiracy? All’s fair in lust and abortion at The Twilight Fringe. LOL
As if the Trump supporters on January 6 were not berzerkers? Every Turley article is about focusing on the sawdust in a Democrat’s eye while ignoring the lumber in a Republican’s eye. So predictable, I’m not even going to bother anymore.
The ” berzerkers” J6 were corrupt fbi thugs.
I put AOC in the same category as Joseph McCarthy. 100% warped. She panders to the press with inane ideas. Unfortunately the press obliges her by reporting her irrational diatribe. I wish she would sit down and be quiet.
McCarthy was right. We now know that not one person he accused was innocent.
January 6th was tamer than most weekends in democrat strongholds across the country.
We know you’re programmed to spew that propaganda, but seriously, get some new material.
“I’m not even going to bother anymore.” Great! ANON is leaving this site!!
You really want to compare the number of federal buildings attacked by liberals compared to conservatives? Or communities burned down and destroyed? Police attacked and injured? Really? Not even close, lumber boy.
Can she be impeached for stupidity?
If that were true Trump would have been impeached and removed a long time ago.
Says MORON X
The business you’ve built is located just where?
It’s torture. Being subjected to this mentality is torture. Surely, she’s the reason for prayer?
“AOC” does not have a law degree, and has expressed disdain for lawyers – I know: so what’s new about that? – due to a family will/estate dispute years ago. Nonetheless, regarding why we have a Supreme Court, perhaps she should read the United States Constitution, Article III, Section 1.
I think this makes sense when you understand that “crime” in this woman’s mind is opposing her political and social objectives, not committing acts which violate clear statutory prohibitions. The regime is, like similar regimes of the past, quick to spare the criminal and to criminalize the political opponent.
@Alec
Precisely. The ‘crime’ is disagreeing paired with not acknowledging how clearly amazing she is. The modern left is perfectly primed to punish people for this. If that isn’t junior high level sheet, I don’t know what is.
Most of you that have kids know you wouldn’t put them in charge of your household chores at this point, and yet, you expect them to be able to run a country? Wake the eff up. You are a HUGE part of the problem we now face, and that goes for the ‘best’ of us.
James: I really know little about AOC but didn’t she work as a bartender after college? It is sobering (no pun intended, ha ha) to think about how much of her political hatred and visceral commentary she might have spread in conversations with her guests/customers, who might have looked up to her as a “college graduate” working her way up.
@lin
😂
Yes, and as far as we know, that is her only prior work experience. She was hired, let’s stop pretending, we are not children that need to play make believe games to spare anyone’s feelings. She is everything the dissenters think she is. The astonishing thing about a baby like her may be that our expectations were somehow too low. The dnc really does think people are stupid, and in many cases they are correct.
“junior high level” is exactly where the useful idiots of the dnc play.
They have to appeal to the anti-depressant-addled masses of white women (and their eunuchs) and middle-school BS is the medium in which to grow their petulance.
It’s about impeaching the conservative justices for finding the Democrats stupid and destructive bills and actions unconditional. No disagreement or dissent allowed or we will imprison or kill you.
Are you starting to understand their desire for a dictatorship yet?
AOC is both dumb and dangerous, and that is a lethal combination.
ajeanne, Dumb? She’s a clever sociopath manipulating the mob. She put on make-up with teens on u tube. Doesn’t this mean she’s a wolfish person looking for money and power? A sociopath finds a person’s weakness and uses it, a conman seeking the illusion of confidence. What does she seek from the teens but future votes. Is there a psych onboard here? She wants the speakers job?
Ajeanne, think about her conference with the public regarding ova harvesting drawing the public’s attention shamelessly to her pelvis. It’s creepy, Jeanne.
She is very creepy and SCARY. Like I said, she is dangerous.
You guys sound like the British after the battle of Yorktown: “IT IS LOST! The world has turned upside down! ” You will get used to it eventually.
Go back a bit further with the history.
‘If you are victorious in one more election against the Republicans, then you shall be utterly ruined. ‘
Of course, if you are a central authoritarian, totalitarian, or islamist one more victory may not be calamitous for you.
Hmm, and how will this help the economy ?
If you are a member of the corrupt, organized crime organization known as the DNC or its patrons in the EU or Beijing this will help your personal economy enormously. Otherwise, not so much.
Uh, it’s called a ‘coup’, the salient among us knew this was coming, and two things: if anyone thinks AOC does not simply read a script, like an actress, then wow, you need to dig deeper; and if you still think voting blue is about ‘loving others’ and not supporting a regime – I honestly don’t know what it will take. Do you literally have to have your property seized or stand in a bread line at the grocery store again as during covid, but now, for good? The entire country just got Spanbergered, and things are not going to be fun from January onward. They could get quite ugly.
The one thing that will be very, very obvious: nothing is cheaper, let alone ‘free’; and no, your freedoms will be progressively neutered, not expanded upon. The modern left are tyrants, pure and simple, and we just elected them to run our lives – we will be expected to simply do what they say. These are the aristocracy, certainly including the likes of fake AOC, not we the people.
Going to keep saying it: hope that 40 cents you are saving on gas, something that could have been done at any time, without an election, was worth it. To young voters, no, you cannot take your votes back. Welcome to reality.
Well that answers the question of whether they will overreach or not. This is going to turn off so many people that it will actually be fun. Plus just wait until the radicals don’t get their way on something, er, anything and they explode with their usual calm and aplomb.
