Here we go.
House Democrats are now pressuring Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from Trump’s immunity case.
Special Counsel Jack Smith last Monday asked the US Supreme Court to weigh in on Trump’s immunity claims.
In September Trump was hit with 4 counts in Jack Smith’s January 6 case up in DC: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
Jack Smith is fighting to keep the March 4 trial date (one day before Super Tuesday) in his January 6 case against Trump in DC.

The Washington Post reported:
In a new letter, eight House Democrats, led by Rep. Hank Johnson (Ga.), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee’s courts subcommittee, are calling on Thomas to recuse himself in the case, citing the court’s new code of conduct’s guidance on impartiality.
Specifically, they raised concerns about Thomas’s wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, who repeatedly pressed the Trump White House and lawmakers to overturn Biden’s 2020 victory, attended the Stop the Steal rally before the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and told the House committee investigating the attack last year that she still believed the 2020 election was stolen. The letter, dated Dec. 15, says Ginni Thomas’s actions after the election “raise serious questions” about her husband’s “ability to be or even to appear impartial in any cases before the Supreme Court involving the 2020 election and the January 6th insurrection.”
“If you want to show the American people that the Supreme Court’s recent Code of Conduct is worth more than the paper it is written on, you must do the honorable thing and recuse yourself from any decisions in the case of United States v. Trump,” the lawmakers state.

Pretty certain Thomas is not a wimpy as Jeff Sessions.
Pretty absurd. “Durr let’s get this black dullard congressman to write the letter. That might work.”
House has no power over the Supreme Court except for the impeachment of one of the justices
So if your wife has a good relationship with a campaign the juatice should recuse. I notice they aren’t applying the same standard in the NY case. The Repukes should be calling on the wise Latina or whomever to recuse since they obviously hate Trump.
beside being unconstitional, unprecedented, racist, and sexist, what is wrong with this request?
They can launch their butts no one can force him to recuse.
Remember how the most ethically-on-high Elena Kagan recused herself from all of the Obamacare cases?
You know, the Obamacare she helped to create?
Go on Clarence, you rule as the law compels you.
They can attempt to impeach Thomas. Then Thomas can play the race card.
so....
lets reveiw..
3 commiedem judges brag, campaign, and boast of hanging trump before any trials even started...
..and thats a-ok.
...and now they want to can thomas who has never bragged, campaigned or boasted of intentionaly prejudging a case...
yup.
commies
dems
rogue criminals.
Hey,why don’t we just recuse Ginni Thomas from the deliberations? Problem solved!
Im calling it now. Justice Thomas will recuse himself, because its the right thing to do.
Those demo-commies want to ignore separate and equal.
But Judge Engeron’s wife can he as anti-Trump as she wants, right? No recusal.
Well, sauce for the goose.
Oh, NO! Absolutely NOT!
Old hank needs to go see if Guam will tip over because there are way to many people
I believe it was he who described the democrats' execrable tactics as "a high-tech lynching". I'd like to see him revive that phrase ... some of the democrats might suffer apoplexy ...
Demonicrats are lying, murdering traitors. Justice Thomas should reject their rantings.
