Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is at it again, this time with an audacious plan to remove conservative justices from the U.S. Supreme Court. The New York Democrat, never one to shy away from the limelight or controversy, had a meltdown over the recent Supreme Court ruling that upheld the president’s immunity in his official duties—a judgment that former President Donald Trump celebrated as a victory. In her infinite wisdom, she deemed the decision as anti-democratic and tyrannical, because heaven forbid a ruling doesn’t align with her progressive ideals.
Naturally, she took to X (the platform formerly known as Twitter, in case anyone is keeping up) to complain about “corruption” in the highest court of the land. According to her, this ruling wasn’t just a decision but an outright assault on American democracy. She went on to announce her intentions of filing articles of impeachment against the conservative justices once Congress returns from its Independence Day recess. Yes, AOC is declaring herself as the defender of the nation against what she calls “authoritarian capture.”

Let’s not forget, Democrats are in the minority in the House. The likelihood of impeaching any conservative justice on Ocasio-Cortez’s initiative is about as probable as finding a vegan at a Texas BBQ. Even if this far-fetched scheme somehow managed to inch its way out of the House, it would crash and burn in the Senate. But hey, why let a little thing like reality get in the way of a good virtue-signaling session?
Making matters even more absurd, her call to action got a thumbs-up from none other than Mark Hamill, the “Star Wars” actor who seems to have found a second career in political commentary. Hamill hurled his support her way, probably while humming the theme to Star Wars. In contrast, LibsOfTikTok had a far more realistic reaction, pointing out the hilarity of AOC’s reaction with the emoji equivalent of a belly laugh.
In the end, this is just another episode in the AOC show, where every decision that doesn’t fit her progressive script is labeled authoritarian or corrupt, and every rant provides fresh fodder for her social media followers. While she’s busy playing the heroine in her own make-believe saga, the rest of America continues to move on, shaking their heads and rolling their eyes.
