 Ocasio-Cortez: Supreme Court has ‘gone rogue’
by Caroline Vakil - 07/13/22 9:15 AM ET

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday said that the Supreme Court has “gone rogue” after it overturned Roe v. Wade last month, a move that upset Democrats who say several justices had not been forthcoming about their feelings regarding the 1973 landmark abortion rights decision during their confirmation hearings.

Ocasio-Cortez said the move from the conservative wing means a number of changes should be considered for the high court.

“I believe impeachment should be on the table. I believe court expansion should be on the table. I believe that ethics rules should be on the table. I believe that recusal requirements should be on the table,” Ocasio-Cortez told reporters.

“I think all of it should be considered right now. And we shouldn’t be putting any tools out because of … the degree of which this court has gone rogue.”

Ocasio-Cortez also noted one Supreme Court justice whom she believed should be impeached.

“I believe that Clarence Thomas should be impeached without a shadow of a doubt,” the New York Democrat said.

Imagine if Americans throughout history had become this idiotic and hysterical every time they disagreed with how a court ruled. My gosh.

Actually, the SCOTUS has finally ceased to be rogue.  I think Wicker v. Filburn (the Feds may forbid a farmer from growing wheat for his own family's consumption because doing so "affects interstate commerce" -- which view of the commerce clause created the Federal bureaucratic behemoth), Reynolds v. Sims (which forbade states from following the wisdom the Founders showed in setting up the Senate by having an upper legislative house based on counties or towns (in New England), rather than population-based districts), and Roe v. Wade were all rogue decisions with no actual basis in the Constitution.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

The Supreme Court has most emphatically not gone rogue; they've simply ceased to favor the left's political agenda.

Everytime AOC says "I think......" she proves she's a pathological liar. She is incapable of thinking.

At least in a handful of (admittedly important) cases recently.  When Roberts starts reliably acting like a conservative on his interpretations, maybe then we can make a more sweeping statement.

SCOTUS justices should not be liberal or conservative. They should be constitutional.

I'll give a big "Amen" on that!

Exactly so. And not deciding that an insurance scheme is a tax because of reasons.

Agreed. There has been problems with SCOTUS  for a long time. 5-4 decisions should be extremely occasional and not the norm if they are doing their jobs correctly.

Yep. I'd add US v Miller to your list, but it is nice to see some rulings that appear to be compliant with the Constitution for a change.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
