Fortunately for the nation, the Supreme Court does not take direction from members of Congress. Now, perhaps someone will explain this to AOC. The following from westernjournal.com.
The Supremes have not yet ruled on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health abortion case, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is already attempting to delegitimize the decision. And, get this, she’s accusing Justice Brett Kavanaugh of being “credibly accused of sexual assault on multiple accounts” with “corroborated details.”
Of course, “credibly accused” is not any kind of legal standard, unlike, say, due process and the presumption of innocence. Indeed, there is nothing to investigate because there are no “corroborated details” that sustain Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations against Justice Kavanaugh.
Yet the court, says Ocasio-Cortez, “is letting him decide on whether to legalize forced birth in the US.”
Reminder that Brett Kavanaugh *still* remains credibly accused of sexual assault on multiple accounts w/ corroborated details & this year the FBI admitted it never fully investigated.
Yet the court is letting him decide on whether to legalize forced birth in the US. No recusal.

Did anyone in the United States not expect this craziness from the radical left? During Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing the T-Ball Batting Tee was stood up in preparation. The only question was, which radical leftist would be first in the batting lineup.
The groundwork for Ocasio-Cortez to delegitimize the Supreme Court was laid by democrat senators before Blasey Ford or Julie Swetnick emerged and then-Sen. Kamala Harris was reading wholly unsubstantiated gang rape charges against Kavanaugh into the congressional record. There were ludicrous hearings about yearbook jokes and drunken parties that were only meant to discredit any future decisions by the court.
Note that Blasey Ford alleged to have “100 percent” certitude that Kavanaugh had assaulted her in the 1980s, yet she possessed 0 percent memory of any details that could have substantiated her claim — not even a time or a place.
In the hierarchy of “rights,” abortion apparently sits above all others. In the mind of Democrats, then, originalist justices who may potentially overturn Roe v. Wade aren’t merely wrong, they’re nefarious extremists and thus any smear tactic is justified in the campaign to stop them.
Then there were the extraconstitutional standards democrats kept inventing.
Any nominee of a president who was “under suspicion” of criminality—these were the days when Russian collusion was still a thing—were “illegitimate.”
Sen. Ed Markey argued that Kavanaugh’s nomination was “illegitimate” because the president was “all but named as a co-conspirator” in federal crimes.
CNN’s lascivious chief legal analyst, Jeffrey Toobin, who has a personal stake in liberal abortion laws, would go on to claim that “40 percent of the Republican appointees to the Supreme Court have been credibly accused of sexual misconduct,” which is a good reminder that Justice Clarence Thomas was also smeared in much the same way.
Anita Hill was not a “credible” accuser, either. To this day, no credible person—and Thomas has had scores of subordinates working for him during his years in government, before and after his confirmation—has confirmed that Thomas acted in the ways Hill described. And yet Democrats continue pushing revisionist histories.
Today, many Democrats demand that Biden pack the courts and destroy the judicial system, or they threaten justices on the steps of the Supreme Court.
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch! I want to tell you, Kavanaugh!” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said last year. “You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions!”
There is no ex post facto clause in the Constitution. Kavanaugh was nominated by the duly elected president and confirmed by the duly elected Senate in the same constitutional manner that every Supreme Court justice in history has been nominated and confirmed.
Ocasio-Cortez also pointed out that Trump was “elected via minority,” which is either another extraconstitutional demand or a sign that the congresswoman is simply unaware that presidents have never been elected by majority but rather by the Electoral College.

Furthermore, Ocasio-Cortez’s assertion that overturning Roe would necessitate “forced birth” –a new talking point among pro-abortion advocates—is both factually wrong and morally repugnant.
Increasingly, progressives talk about pregnancy as if it were a gruesome affliction and unborn children as if they were malignant tumors.
Turn the issue of abortion over to each state to decide for itself. Overturning Roe would clear the way for states to choose whether restrictions on abortion are appropriate in and to that particular state. A number of states already have laws on the books that will go into effect immediately.
