AOC Files Futile Impeachment Articles Against Justices Alito, Thomas

Liberal Democratic U.S. representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) has introduced articles of impeachment against conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, her office said on Wednesday.

The effort stands no chance of advancing in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. To remove an official through this process, the House must vote to impeach and the Senate then must vote to convict.
