Senate Democrats are calling on conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from ruling on former President Trump’s claim that he is immune from prosecution for alleged crimes he committed while in office.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and other Democrats on the panel argue that Thomas faces a conflict of interest because his wife Ginni was outspoken in support of Trump’s false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
“There are so many unanswered questions about the relationship of the justice and his family with the Trump administration that I think in the interests of justice, he should recuse himself,” Durbin said.

Of course they do. Although I wonder why they don’t also pressure the only other actual conservative - constitutionalist, Alito, to recuse himself.
The other seven are compromised, so can easily be pressured to opine the way the Deep State wants.
NO !!!
Not gonna happen.
Only if Jack Smith recuses himself first
Ain’t gonna happen,Dick Turbin.
Sure, as long as sotomayor recuses herself, too.

Shame on you Senator Durbin. You are a disgrace and a scandal to our Church.
Thomas’s response should be, FU!!!!
Being a member of SCOTUS is Clarence’s job. Has nothing to do with whatever his wife does.
Dick Durbin has always been a no good racist. When the old fart was young and in a Catholic school in downstate Illinois, he ran in a crowd of kids from public school that used to target black pedestrians downtown. They would get in a car and drive the streets looking for unsuspecting victims. The boys would hang out the windows of the car with sticks in their hands, and when the dri Dr spotted a black pedestrian close enough to the road he would drive up behind him so one of the teens with a stick could take a swing at the pedestrians’ head.
They called it “n.... polo.”
The guy is one nasty weasel. He got out of southern Illinois and ended up way up by “Crook” County.
‘Rats = Racists.
Yet again...
bullshit
