Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) believes Supreme Court justices should face consequences if they lied under oath about overturning Roe v. Wade.
During an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Ocasio-Cortez argued, “If we allow Supreme Court nominees to lie under oath and secure lifetime appointments to the highest court of the land and then issue — issue without basis, if you read these opinions — rulings that deeply undermine the human civil rights of the majority of Americans, we must see that through.”
She added, “There must be consequences for such a deeply destabilizing action and the hostile takeover of our democratic institutions.”
Ocasio-Cortez suggested what “makes it particularly dangerous is that it sends a blaring signal to all future nominees that they can now lie to duly elected members of the United States Senate, in order to secure Supreme Court confirmations and seats on the Supreme Court.”
