BREAKING: Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner calls for the impeachment of "at least two" Republican Supreme Court justices for their blatant corruption.
This is EXACTLY what Democrats need to do after the midterms...
"There is structural power in the Senate to deal with the Supreme Court. It's going to require us to get the majority, but at that point I very much think we need to be exercising ethics oversight over the court," said Platner.
"If we held Supreme Court Justices to the exact same standards we hold federal judges, there is a compelling case for the impeachment and removal of at least two," he continued.
"But to make that happen we need to elect people to the Senate that want to wield power like that, who understand that power matters. That it's real and you can use it," he added.
Platner — the current frontrunner in the Maine Democratic primary race to challenge Republican Senator Susan Collins — is absolutely right. It is an ongoing outrage that we are saddled with this illegitimate court.
We know that Clarence Thomas was accepting bribes in the form of expensive gifts and luxury trips from right-wing billionaire Harlan Crow. Similarly, Samuel Alito was "gifted" a private jet trip to Alaska for a fancy fishing vacation by hedge fund manager Paul Singer.
These men are using their supposedly sacred judicial powers to enrich themselves and live like the 1%, all while handing down rulings that immiserate millions. They must go.
