Dems are currently in the minority in an extremely partisan House, unfortunately, so AOC can't do much other than applying public pressure.

ETA: vote.

No one is above the law.

Sadly, the evidence appears to suggest otherwise. Until the Democrats and Republicans in Congress get together and pass laws to enforce ethics rules on the SCOTUS, as they have with all other federal courts, then the members of SCOTUS are indeed above the law.

There are an awful lot of people in America who are above the law. We get to watch them break the law on TV, then they dare us to try to hold them accountable.

no one is above the law

Grow up or open your eyes bud, there’s a two-tiered system or justice and those in that upper tier are lost certainly above the law

Extreme gridlock and, sadly, bigger fish to fry with a complete Inability to pass core-function bills like budgets due to that gridlock. Why gridlock? Ask McConnell and McCarthy

The Republicans in Congress have no interest in cooperating.

When?

I wonder if Congress can withhold SCOTUS operational funding until something is done?

They could do a hell of a lot more than that. The Constitution defines the SCOTUS and states:

In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.

Congress has the power to modify the powers of the Supreme court. They could, if they had the will, take away the vast majority of the power of SCOTUS. Congress could add exceptions to the SCOTUS' appellate powers for all matters except matters "affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party." With the President's assistance, Congress could even expand the court and alter the current majority.

They could do all this, but they won't, and for the same reason they won't impeach the blatantly ethically bereft members of the court. Because the Republicans are benefiting from the status quo and they will never allow the Democrats to change it as long as they have more than 40 seats in the Senate and a majority in the House.

Well we know that Thomas favorite pastime is hanging out in Walmart parking lots so he may enjoy that.

Man sent a literal read receipt. It’s beyond time these greater-than-thou judges had some ethics.
