Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan don’t feel like Thomas should have to recuse himself despite his wife’s QAnon-fueled election activism

Some congressional Democrats, on the other hand, see no reason for Thomas to stay on the bench for matters relating to Jan. 6. Sen. Ron Wyden was among those calling for his recusal. “Judges are obligated to recuse themselves when their participation in a case would create even the appearance of a conflict of interest.

. “In light of new reporting from numerous outlets, Justice Thomas’ conduct on the Supreme Court looks increasingly corrupt.”the impeachment of the court’s longest-serving judge. This has only occurred once before, in 1804, and did not result in a conviction in the Senate. “Clarence Thomas needs to be impeached,” she tweeted on Friday.

Legal scholars have also called for Thomas to step down from election-related cases. “The judicial standard for recusal centers on an *appearance* of a conflict of interest,”Daniel Goldman, the legal counsel for the effort to impeach former President Trump. “That Thomas ruled on a matter directly involving his wife—whether or not her texts were at issue or if he actually knew about them —clearly *appears* to be a conflict. Recusal was necessary.

Surprise! Not.

12WCV Since we're on the subject of conflict of interest, how about this war and Joe and Hunter Biden's personal dealings in Ukraine? Not a peep? Oh, we get it. You're not a journalist at all. You're a carnival barker. There's no way your parents are proud of you.

Of course they do.

They are cowering in closets

RecuseOrResign

Do they share each other’s clothes?

DineshDSouza Lady Macbeth, how unAmerican, conspiring to thwart a perfectly safe election, by robbing them of their votes

Rumplicans live with their heads in the sand~!

What you liberals should do is quit assuming the justice KNEW about his wife texts and purposely decided to protect can't prove it, until you can you have no tell and scream all you like .

no shit

Power over principle.

You don’t understand… Hunter. Biden’s. Lap. Top. Is. The. Most. Explosive. Thing. To. Happen. Since. The. Big. Bang. Who cares if a Supreme Court justice’s wife influences his decision with her crazy conspiracy theories? 🤷🏻‍♂️

'Republicans shrug at... [insert crime against humanity here]' IS NOT NEWS.

Headline should end at “Republicans shrug” because that’s all they do. Expecting them to take the moral path in anything at this point is an idiot’s quest. They truly are...

Of course they don't they just as corrupt as he is. I expected no different. Nevertheless, they will need to contend with this. This isn't going away just like January 6th isn't either. They can't just sweep this under the rug no matter how hard they try. -ONE.💯
