Top Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin argued in the New York Times this week that Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito could, in theory, be forced to step down from cases related to the January 6 Capitol riots.
In a guest essay for the New York Times on Wednesday, Raskin detailed ways Thomas and Alito could be forced to recuse themselves from the upcoming Trump v. United States and Fischer v. United States, both involving former President Trump's role during the Capitol protests.
"Of course, Justices Alito and Thomas could choose to recuse themselves — wouldn’t that be nice? But begging them to do the right thing misses a far more effective course of action," Raskin wrote.
Alito and Thomas, both nominated by Republican presidents and part of the Supreme Court's conservative wing, have come under fire from Democrats and mainstream media in recent months over claims that they cannot objectively rule on matters around Jan. 6.

If Samuel Alito should recuse himself because of a flag flown 3 years ago, then Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson should recuse herself from any case impacting women, since she cannot define what a woman is.
oh man, that is FU FUnny right there.
tthanks for the laugh.

It’s a close call between Raskin and Schiff of who is the biggest leftwing jerk in Congress. There are plenty of other lefty scoundrels, to be sure, but they are also-rans compared to these two.
They know it’s BS it is all about intimidation and marginalization.
Schiff is a client of the daughter of that piece of shite judge in NY
Fine. Let the march Thomas and Alito out at gunpoint and finally give everyone a real wake up call about what sort of government we actually have now.
The dumbassery runs deep in this one.
It’s nonsense. But they will try.
In theory, there is a “separation of powers.”
Make that IN PRACTICE.
Morons.
Actually, 2000 clinched it. That is when I noticed that Democrats and their Party became completely demon-possessed. That's the point when I really jumped into paying attention to politics. The evil was just too blatant to ignore.
Oh, I am fully awake. I was pointing out the lawless government way back when I got ridiculed as crazy for even suggesting such a thing. In fact, I started my blog with a post explaining that I didn’t much care about Barack Obama but the lawlessness that I had personally observed within all levels of government was going to kill this nation unless we found a way to stop it.
The Weaponization of Government committee should be investigating the government supercomputer “The Hammer” along with Dennis Montgomery’s software for it, HAMR which was exposed in Wikileaks’ Vault 7 dump. Montgomery says that John Brennan and James Clapp0er had him write software that would allow that supercomputer to spy on anybody but in particular judges and justices as well as members of the media and Congress and Donald Trump. He said the purpose was to get bribery material.
There was a reason that Roberts very, very unhappily “changed his mind” on Obamacare, and if Jim Jordan can follow the tracks that Montgomery can provide, they could get to the bottom of this and a lot of other crap that goes on in DC.
Montgomery was given immunity in return for his massive loads of evidence but then the FBI gagged him and buried everything.
I actually believe that getting to the bottom of Brennan and Clapper’s treason is essential if we’re ever going to get our country back.
Oh - and Montgomery also says that he was commissioned to get “The Hammer” to download the FL voter database in 2012 and re-upload a revised version so that it could be altered without leaving an evidence. He said he was commissioned to do the same thing on the Hawaii Dept of Health database, multiple times in 2012.
Brennan and Clapper are armpit-deep in the treason that was Barack Obama and in stealing elections - in addition to bribing and/or attacking justices, judges, lawmakers, media people, and Donald Trump. This hellhole goes DEEP, and nothing gets fixed until we mine down to the very bottom pit and throw every minion in prison.
Megyn Kelly said that red-state DA’s and AG’s need to start indicting people right and left, now that open lawfare is upon us. She said, basically, that until these people have to sleep in the bed they pooped all over, they will keep pooping (my paraphrase).
And it’s true. The difficulty that I see is, for instance, how does Ken Paxton in TX come up with jurisdiction for crimes Jamie Raskins commits in DC?
One thing I suggest, though, is that some prosecutor look long and hard at the stuff Laura Loomer has brought out. For instance, the congressman - Goldman? - who misspelled Authentic Campaigns on his payments so that it would hide that he was paying Merchan’s daughter. That, right there, is a falsification of records, and he should be slammed with it IMMEDIATELY! The issue is who can do it, when all the crap happens in the turd-world republic of New York.
There have now been 2 lawfare cases against Trump that have been allowed because the state of New York allows statute of limitations to be “extended” (one by a law specifically allowing E Jean Carrol to sue and one by a law that converted a misdemeanor to be resurrected as a felony).
Congress can’t pass laws that apply retroactively but can they do what NY did for E Jean Carrol? Can they temporarily allow 30-year-old crimes to be prosecuted now, in spite of the statute of limitations?
Alito already told them to piss off.
Apparently Roberts, too.
Not that it will stop them.
What date did the SoL run out? If it happened before the extension, legally, my argument would be that, in order to satisfy the 14th amendment, the extension would have had to happen before the Statute of Limitations on any particular crime ran out. You cannot constitutionally resurrect a crime that is dead.
Great Question! We will see how willing Republicans are to get in the trough with the Democrats. Sad, but we will see.
They try to destroy everything American/Constitutional/white/heterosexual/ Christian/rational.
