Rep. AOC Delivers Major Floor Speech on Articles of Impeachment Against Justices Thomas and Alito

Corruption, without consequence, infects all it touches. To contain it, Congress must exercise its powers to impeach.
The longstanding patterns of corruption from Justices Thomas and Alito constitute a clear and present danger to American democracy.
Today Rep. AOC moved to impeach them - not out of party, and not because she is blind to the odds. But because it is the right thing to do for the American people.
Watch Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speak on the House Floor on her impeachment articles against Justices Thomas and Alito.

[@Dark_Jaguar]

More importantly, everyone that votes against, on both sides of the aisle, will be on-record and will have to explain their votes. That brings me to my next point, VOTE LOCAL! These days, voting local is the most important thing someone can do, over and above even the presidential election! Don't get me wrong, the upcoming election matters on the national level, but unless we build that ground level of support for issues, not even someone like Sanders can accomplish anything if we ever get them in the oval office.

Yes. The corruption goes right to the heart of the U.S. Democrat government. They are using a tactic called "accusation in a mirror" - turn things around and accuse your opponents of doing exactly what you yourself are doing. Trump did not lie (tell us one lie, just one...), and everybody knows that Biden really does lie all the time. "Accusation in a mirror" is a tactic used only by very immoral people.
