Supreme Court Justice Clarence #Thomas has been accused of not disclosing a yacht trip to #Russia and a private helicopter flight to a palace in President Vladimir #Putin’s hometown, among a slew of other gifts and loans from businessman Harlan #Crow.
The allegedly secret gifts were disclosed in a letter from two Democratic senators that accused Thomas of potentially committing tax fraud.
@hanse_mina The U.S. needs a roadmap back from this Supreme Court, a long term plan like the Republican have used.
First, an amendment to clarify the president's power. Then laws to limit that power. Then appointments to balance the court.

We already have those things. The problem is the people whose job it is to enforce them are deliberately misreading them.
We need to impeach some justices for willful misconduct and breaching the public's trust
Oh, that’s an encouraging video to stumble across. Who else missed the fact that #AOC formally introduced articles of #impeachment against Clarence #Thomas and Samuel #Alito today? https://youtube.com/watch?v=3KZy3NSqnkg Can’t imagine how that flew under my radar.

“The Senate is not a prosecutorial body"
?
Why not? It has been before.
And, what's the goal here? Impeachment would seem proper but the Executive isn't going to dish that out. Are they going to use the judicial system to punish a supreme court member? It could work but there seem to be obvious shortfalls.
Don't get me wrong, I welcome the investigation. But we will need to proceed to impeachment, and we need to be saying that's the goal now.
Your post is incoherent: what does "the Executive" have to do with impeachment?
Meanwhile, in the real world, impeachment&removal requires A) a majority in the House B) 67 votes in the senate. Name the 17 GOP senators who would vote to replace Clarence Sale with a Biden appointee.
