Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh are on the middle of an AOC Supreme Courtroom offensive. The primary-term Congresswoman is alleging each males dedicated perjury of their affirmation hearings. Consultant Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) mentioned so in a letter to Senate Majority Chief Chuck Schumer (D-NY), co-signed by Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), one other member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. The curious factor is, neither one among these Home democrats plan to do something about it simply but. As a substitute, they’re asking the Senate majority chief to do, effectively, one thing.
“We request that the Senate make its place clear on whether or not Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch lied below oath throughout their affirmation hearings.”
“By no means write a letter, by no means throw one away.” That was a tenet of well-known Philadelphia mayor Frank Rizzo, which Alexandria Casio-Cortez and Ted Lieu would do effectively to include. Their letter to Schumer excoriates Supreme Courtroom nominees for mendacity to Congress, saying, “Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch straight lied to Senators. Then it asks Schumer for some type of ruling on AOC’s allegation. The Senate, as a physique, doesn’t difficulty public positions on the veracity of testimony it receives. What then are they asking for, and why?
Ignorance Is Bliss
Are Ocasio-Cortez and Lieu unaware of the powers and duties of the workplace they maintain as a member of the Home? There are a couple of congressional powers which might be held completely by the Home over the Senate, and the facility to question is one among them. The Structure says, “The Home of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and different Officers; and shall have the only real Energy of Impeachment.” Why then is Home member AOC asking for the top of the Senate to weigh in right here?

Some intelligent commentator wrote they might begin believing in a local weather disaster when these shouting about it acted like there was one. That was a response to the Obamas’ acquisition of a 29-acre waterfront property on Martha’s Winery. The joint letter says “the legitimacy of the US Supreme Courtroom is at stake” and that “Justices who deceive the American individuals as a way to get confirmed shred the legitimacy of the Supreme Courtroom.” The place then is their proposed decision of impeachment?
AOC Supreme Courtroom Farce
Florida Governor and potential presidential contender Ron DeSantis described AOC’s politics as “Socialism wrapped in ignorance.” Let’s say she is just not unaware of the distinctive powers Home members must carry articles of impeachment. Is it practical to suppose this courageous younger lady ran for and received a Home seat, is satisfied Justices perjured themselves, and now waits for Chuck Schumer to agree? I give her extra credit score than that. Maybe she doesn’t wish to be embarrassed by beginning an impeachment that will probably be a spectacular failure? A cynic would possibly counsel she thinks her donors and constituents are so unencumbered by an understanding of our constitutional processes that they suppose she’s truly doing one thing.
