Was a pretty good ~10 min speech too, on the House floor.
Is there any chance this will ever pass?
I don’t really know what it would take to get this done
She could also try to convince Biden to have them assassinated, which would be totally legal.
We’d need every Democrat and a few Republicans. Since these traitorous justices are what’s giving Republicans power, it’s pretty unlikely. Still worth trying.
Yeah, you push the issue and get people on record voting to defend blatant corruption. Then you can use it against them in the next election. House Reps run for office every two years. It’s really frustrating to watch the Democrats abandon a cause because “it will never pass the House.”
There’s always a chance, it’s just very small. These corrupt justices are the end game for the republican party, the odds of any of them breaking ranks to convict is very low.
That said, it’s almost certainly not about conviction, so much as upholding the rule of law and creating political pressure and support for something like packing the court.
The motion will get assigned to a committee, run by Republicans, where it will die. Even if there is a sympathetic Republican on that committee, all House members are up for re-election in November, and voting for this is a sure way to get the MAGAs all up in their grill and would likely lead to that person losing a ton of MAGA support, and likely losing their job.
AOC knows this and is doing this to help Democrats in vulnerable districts, to help turn the House in the next Congress. “Elect us into the majority, and we will actually look into this.”
You are arguing that Republicans are, ”To busy keeping their job to do their job”. While that may be true in some cases, I fear that for some of them, breaking the Supreme Court like this was the goal all along.
