Ocasio-Cortez: Supreme Court has ‘gone rogue’

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.
