Monday’s landmark ruling follows a series of high-profile corruption scandals at the Supreme Court, and after Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas refused to recuse themselves from the case over conflicts of interest. That’s sparked some Democrats to call for their impeachment. On Monday, New York Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote, “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. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.” We’ll have more on Monday’s momentous Supreme Court ruling after headlines.
