Allegations of Corruption and Misconduct: Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and her colleagues cite a pattern of recusals avoidance and non-disclosure of financial interests by Justices Thomas and Alito. They argue that such actions compromise judicial impartiality, threatening the credibility of the nation's highest court. "Absent resignation, they must be removed," Ocasio-Cortez declared on the House floor, stressing the existential threat these practices pose to the rule of law.

Backing this stance, Reps. Barbara Lee (D-CA), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Delia Ramirez (D-IL), Maxwell Frost (D-FL), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) have co-sponsored the impeachment resolutions, amplifying calls for comprehensive judicial ethics reform.

Campaign for a Progressive Judiciary: The Squad’s strategy extends beyond the alleged misconduct, reflecting a broader ambition to reshape the Supreme Court to be more amenable to progressive policies. Critics argue this is part of a larger battle to control constitutional interpretation, thus steering judicial outcomes towards left-leaning agendas.

Precedent of Left-Leaning Judicial Lapses: Interestingly, while targeting conservative justices, the Squad remains silent on ethical concerns surrounding liberal justices. For instance, allegations against Justice Sonia Sotomayor pushing for book purchases during her university visits, and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's refusal to recuse herself from cases related to her husband's law firm, have not garnered equivalent outrage from progressive circles. Similarly, questions surrounding ethics disclosures of liberal Justices such as Ketanji Brown Jackson’s husband's consulting work remain minimally scrutinized.
