AOC threatens to IMPEACH all six conservative Supreme Court Justices after Trump immunity ruling
Squad leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that she plans on impeaching the six conservative Justices on the Supreme Court for their ruling in Donald Trump's presidential immunity case.
The conservative 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court ruled Monday a president does have immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts in a monumental decision.
The ruling kicks the decision on whether Trump intentionally tried to subvert the 2020 election results back to a Washington, D.C., judge - and will likely delay the trial until after the November election in a 'big win' for the former president.
Reacting to the ruling, an outraged Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X: 'The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control. 'Today's ruling represents an assault on American democracy.'
'It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture,' her post continued.
The House returns to session Monday, July 8, after the July 4th recess, which is when she plans to take action.
Her post did not specify which justices she plans on drafting articles of impeachment for, but it is expected to target the six conservative justices.
The ruling Monday means that if Trump wins the November election he can direct the Justice Department to drop the charges against him, dealing a blow to those who want to see him convicted for his involvement with the January 6 riot.
The case centers on the former president's alleged actions on January 6 to overturn the election results.
Prosecutors have argued that Trump was acting as a candidate, and not in his official capacity, when he addressed the audience.
