DOJ can 'force' Alito, Thomas to recuse themselves on SCOTUS cases: Dem lawmaker
Fox News ^ | May 30, 2024 | Lindsay Kornick

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.

They’re trying to destroy separation of powers.

Does anyone truly not think that in today's failing banana republic Democrats won't simply ignore SCOTUS rulings that they don't like?

"Trump's court is illegitimate!"

We are at war. The Democrat/Communist Party damn well knows it and is prosecuting it as such. The “opposition party”?, not so much. Perhaps in July when Trump is ordered into solitary confinement for a year or two at one of America’s gulags the “opposition party” will stop with the political calculations and the “we’re better than that” defeatist and cowardly attitude and get to work preserving our Republic and defending Liberty … but July is too late to begin that hard, principled task … a couple of decades too late!
