Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat and member of the 'Squad', aired her grievances against the U.S. Supreme Court, criticizing what she perceives as an 'abuse of power'.

In particular, she condemned the court's recent pivotal rulings on affirmative action and President Biden's student loan debt plan. Ocasio-Cortez proposed impeachment and subpoenas as measures to curb the court's power, arguing that they have overstepped their authority.

She emphasized the importance of discussing judicial review as a means to check the courts. The court's end-of-term decisions rejecting the use of race in admissions, ruling in favor of a Christian web designer's refusal to create same-sex wedding websites, and striking down President Biden's student loan debt cancellation plan have stirred controversy and drawn criticism from Democrats, who deem the court 'illegitimate'.

Ocasio-Cortez expressed concern over these rulings, perceiving them as a dangerous step towards authoritarianism and an excessive concentration of power in the hands of the courts. She cited Justice Elena Kagan's statement, highlighting the court's tendency to assume the role of a legislature.
