AOC wants to impeach the liars. Jackie Speier said that is certainly a possibility.

[mobeau69]

Put me down as a “yes”. Make that a “hell yes”.

You go ladies!

[DURHAM D]

1. They perjured themselves. nt

[True Blue American]

2. Well, here is Amy In all her glory lying to

Wait for it! John Kennedy!

[Walleye]

26. Clarence Thomas committed serious perjury in his hearing

[Bucky]

3. It's a nice thought but you'd never get 50 senate votes

...let alone the 67 needed to remove. I don't even think a formal vote to censure the four who lied could fly

[mobeau69]

5. We could campaign on it if nothing else.

[Bucky]

11. I thought about that

I don't think it's a voting issue for enough voters. Ultimately it's a distraction from the bread & butter economic issues that we need to run on to win back working class families. We need more John Fetterman's. And we need to have them deliver on the promises they run on

[OnDoutside]

6. Aren't you impeached in the House?

[mobeau69]

13. Yes. A simple House majority is all that's needed to impeach.

[OnDoutside]

19. Thanks, and it should be noted that they will probably be an

impeachment every second week if the Repugs take back the House.

[TwilightZone]

4. Waste of time.

There is zero chance they would be convicted and removed.

We should focus on winning elections in November. The only way to start turning this around is to get more Democrats elected at all levels of government.

[TwilightZone]

15. Sure, let's waste time on meaningless gestures.

AOC knows they won't be impeached. This is just a nod to her supporters and to Democratic voters.

Nothing wrong with that, but let's not pretend that there's serious intent behind it or any belief that it would accomplish anything. it's red meat for the base. All politicians do it, including ours.

[TwilightZone]

21. Oh, please.

Some things are said simply to serve a purpose. This is one of those things. It's going nowhere and I guarantee that AOC knows that.

Don't need lottery numbers to figure that out. Just common sense, which ain't so common around here sometimes. Not everything should be taken at face value.

[in2herbs]

10. "There is zero chance they would be convicted and removed." That would not be the point

of the impeachments. If these justices choose to stay on the bench after impeachment hearings, but not removal, then they should be subject to the public shame of their lies and hypocrisy until the day the die.

[TwilightZone]

18. There aren't going to be any impeachment hearings.

AOC knows that. This is red meat for the base.

Nothing wrong with that - all politicians do it - but let's please stop pretending that it's actually going to happen.

[empedocles]

22. I would rather know what Speaker Pelosi would have to say

Red meat for the base is one thing.

Winning big in November is a bigger thing.

[Sanity Claws]

14. I want stuff to come out

Even if they are not convicted at the Senate, enough stuff could be found to jeopardize their law licenses. Fucking disbar them if the Senate won't convict.
Enough stuff could come out that they resign instead of having a full airing of their shit.
Do it.

[mobeau69]

20. 67% of all women didn't want Roe overturned.

The rest want to be Handmaidens.

[delisen]

24. We can do both. Different set of actors.

We are only at the beginning of our battle . Our basic human rights, our personhood, and whether we continue to be THE United States is at stake.

Aside from the above, I don’t intend to set myself up or my children and grandchildren up to be burned at stakes. When Alito’s. Federalist Society opinion is fully digested people will be prepared to move ahead on several fronts.

People who who don’t think impeachment is worth the time can do other things for the cause.

[MyOwnPeace]

29. EXCELLENT post!

You understand what it takes to promote and advance the cause - and have the reasons for doing so.

[bdamomma]

25. that's true

they would never be held accountable. But I wouldn't let Clarence Thomas off the hook, he and his wife have ties to the insurrection.

[rurallib]

8. If people aren't punished for their misdeeds, what good is having laws?

Of you or I lied on a job application or lied at the interview is that not grounds for dismissal when the truth is found out?

There are so many scofflaws thumbing their noses at the 'rule of law' at the top of the Trump party that for them laws essentially do not exist.

What a great example for our citizens and our young people.

Trump, Pence, McConnell, Grassley, Stefanik, Mo Brooks, Gosar, MTG, DeSantis, Abbott, Barr and the list goes on and on and pn

[lees1975]

9. So impeachment might not work, but how about a criminal charge for lying to Congress

You can't make ruings from prison.

[tikka]

12. good idea

[IcyPeas]

16. may not be possible, but if the shoe were on the other foot THEY would find a way

[asiliveandbreathe]

27. Yes and hell yes...lying to congress...and what reason did they lie...well, they

We're asked if they would overturn Roe....this keeps Roe on the front burner, it supports womens right to privacy..I don't know what would happen...but it sure would show congress suppports the rule of law... it would demonstrate support for the majority of US citizens who are feeling so tremendously betrayed.

Anything less, is just lip service...misled are Ya Collins...hey Manchin...any ideas?...

AOC has more b.... than those keeping seats warm...

Talk about a gut punch...

[tikka]

28. Even if they are acquitted they should bear the stigma of being impeached
