1. Go for it, girlfriend!

AOC has more guts than any Republican man (OR woman, for that matter) EVER! Especially when it comes to standing up against the donald.

3. Well, at least she tried.......

It won't get a floor vote unfortunately. But maybe it will get a mention in some cable or youtube post somewhere noticeable. I doubt it will get 15 minutes of fame, but maybe a moment or two.

5. Any cosponsors?

It will be interesting to see if she gets anyone outside of the squad

10. Well Done

AOC is great. We needs a thousand more like her, in Congress and in elective office in States and Localities throughout America.

11. A Constitutional consideration

The US Constitution, Art. 3, sec.1, second sentence, says "The Judges, both of the Supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior ......."

This is a different standard than the "high crimes and misdemeanors" mentioned in Art. 2, sec. 4.

The good behavior standard seems to make judges more vulnerable to removal from office. So far as I know, it hasn't been used to remove a judge but the general trend of thought is that judges should be above suspicion and should be particularly upright in all their activities. So I think the good behavior standard could be used to remove Thomas and Alito.

15. It is not a different standard I'm afraid

If anything - “good behavior” just means that “high crimes and misdemeanors is a lower standard than some people believe.

It still boils down to “whatever two thirds of the Senate thinks that it is” - but in practice there does seem to be a different standard for judges - as they are removed far more commonly

13. Extremely rare move highlights the egregious corruption.

One for the history books and won't be forgotten.
