Ronald Reagan famously said, “The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.” In the case of Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez (D-NY), I have serious doubts about the first part of the Gipper’s quote, particularly when AOC gets She swung her arms way beyond her skisThe U.S. Constitution. What’s the best? It’s the best part? She does it with as much arrogance and determination as possible.
Our story begins on Thursday, as reported by RedState, with AOC declaring, in reference to the Supreme Court’s decision to hear a 2020 election-related case, “We are witnessing a judicial coup in process.” Then, in typical Socialist BarbieAOC Fashion, Her Comments got Even More Hilarious
This is a coup d’état. If Congress and President do not stop the Court, they signal that the Court will be coming to the Presidential election next. All our leaders — regardless of party — must recognize this Constitutional crisis for what it is.
Melodramatic, much?
This is a coup d’état.
The Court signals that if Congress and the President don’t stop the Court from ruling now, they will do so for next year’s Presidential election.

Things changed. It is really dumb. Emphasis, mine:
Personally, I believe this. Clarence Thomas must be impeachedI am certain beyond any shadow of doubt. Ich bin You will be amazedIt is not. In any other wayTo be controversial Anybody. It is the extent and magnitude of misconduct,Clarence Thomas by himself — um, in addition to several of his colleagues — have [sic]Participated and was engaged The Supreme Court is not foundationally legitimate and it is our responsibility — our constitutional duty —To rein them in.
Analysis: No, nonsense, no, no, oh hell no, damn — what is wrong with you?
Your humble conservative political pundit may not challenge the constitution skills of the former bartender. But I will. That’s exactly what it says — via the official Supreme Court website.
The Court of Appeals is the nation’s highest court for any case or controversy arising from the Constitution and the United States laws. The Court acts as the last arbiter in all matters of law.
Any questions, Alex? Now, let’s do the role of the House of Representatives, shall we?
According to the Constitution, Congress makes and adopts federal laws. The House is one of Congress’s two chambers (the other is the U.S. Senate), and part of the federal government’s legislative branch. The law limits the number of representatives to the House at 435. This is proportional to the total population of all 50 states.
Send a memo to AOC [pundit checks notes] I don’t see anything in the above federal government descriptionThe House [nor that of the Senate] where it says “constitutional duty” to “rein in the Supreme Court.”
While it’s true that a Supreme Court justice can be impeached by Congress — with a simple-majority vote in the House and a two-thirds vote in the Senate — it hasn’t happened since 1805. Moreover, the Brennan Center for Justice explains that impeachment shouldn’t be used as a means to penalize justices for their decisions, contrary to what AOC and her smug Democrat co-sponsors continue to say.
Because the impeachment power lies primarily in the hands of politicians, it is at times threatened for partisan reasons, but the impeachment and removal of judges is in fact rare and usually limited to grave ethical or criminal misconduct such as perjury, fraud, or conflicts of interest.
The United States Constitution provides little guidance as to what offenses constitute grounds for the impeachment of federal judges:
As with other government officials, judges may be removed following impeachment and conviction for “Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors”; otherwise, under Article III, Section 1, judges “shall hold their offfices during good behavior.”
“Historical practice suggests a strong tradition against impeaching judges for judicial rulings,” noted the Brennan Center, citing late-Chief Justice William Rehnquist.
Rehnquist wrote a book examining the history of judicial impeachment, in which he noted that early historical uses of the impeachment power established a norm that “judicial acts — their rulings from the bench — would not be a basis for removal from office by impeachment and conviction.”
Then again, I’m sure Rehnquist It was also lackingAlexandria Ocasio -Cortez’s constitutional skills.
Bottom line:
Again, as I’ve noted many times, the hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds. I’ll give you two perfect examples.
The first is the overturning of Roe V. Wade. If SCOTUS had upheld Roe, would AOC, the entire Democrat Party, and liberal media sock puppets have been histrionically whining about the “delegitimized” court failing to do its “constitutional duty” by refusing to protect babies killed by You can have an abortion on demand until you give birth. The same party that obscenely claims to be the party that protects America’s children? Please.
The second is the 2016 Presidential Election, in which Hillary is stillWallowing about. The Democrats, along with their puppets in state media, might have demanded the dissolution the Electoral College if the election results had turned against them. With Trump winning the popular and Hillary winning the Electoral College voter vote. A second rhetorical question is, naturally.
If the Democrat Party is unable to win its case, their first instinct is to cheat. (See: 2016 election.) Democrats are determined to make sure that cheating does not become an acceptable offense. (See the Electoral College and Packing the Supreme Court.
Democrats have Alexandria Ocasio Cortez as a resource for sharp insight and practical solutions.
