New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has announced her intention to file articles of impeachment in response to the recent Supreme Court ruling that grants limited immunity to former President Donald Trump against criminal prosecution related to his time in office.
Ocasio-Cortez expressed her concerns about the ruling, labeling it as an assault on American democracy. She emphasized the role of Congress in safeguarding the nation from what she described as authoritarian capture.
The Democratic congresswoman stated, 'It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.'
Ocasio-Cortez has been actively involved in advocating for increased accountability within the Supreme Court and has been pushing for investigations into potential ethics violations involving its justices.
The Supreme Court ruling has sparked significant debate and controversy, with Ocasio-Cortez's announcement adding a new dimension to the ongoing discussions surrounding the implications of the decision.
As the situation continues to unfold, the filing of articles of impeachment by Ocasio-Cortez is likely to further intensify the political landscape and prompt additional scrutiny of the Supreme Court's role and responsibilities.
