Liberal Democratic U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has introduced articles of impeachment against conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, her office said on Wednesday.

It won’t pass, but at least it’s nice to be reminded that The Squad is still out there trying to actively better our world just a bit.

it’s an election year, and when your political power is essentially neutered by the results of the previous election, you have to do SOMETHING to signal to your constituents that you still care about the things they care about. I don’t mean to be too cynical about things, it’s just important to remember that this is a political move as much as it is a moral one.
