It's nothing more than a political stunt that will go nowhere. There's a lot of that happening these days.

Isn't the argument that one branch of govt can't have authority or leverage over another? They are supposed to be separate.

They do have checks, the Judciary tells Congress and Executive what they did was wrong and tells them how to do things in the future.

This might be the biggest issue. laugh

Many of their actions outside of chambers do bring into question the legitimacy of their impartiality. While it's true that each branch of government has its own responsibilities, it's also true that it was set up in a manner there are to be checks and balances in place. Having a single body govern and police themselves certainly isn't working.

I can get on board with arguing/discussing the merits of a code of conduct for SC Justices. IMO, there's enough evidence out there (and it seems to be picking up momentum) to justify something concrete to keep these lifetime appointees in line.

What AOC is doing, however, is nothing more than a temper tantrum. IMO, it's really unfortunate because stuff like this distracts and makes it harder to have the tough conversations that need to be had.

You say 'libtard' every chance you get and almost never have anything thoughtful to say, and then ask someone "Do you even listen to yourself".

Comedy gold, right there.
