Senate Democrats press Thomas to recuse himself from Trump immunity case
The Hill ^ | 12/12/23 1:37 PM ET | BY ALEXANDER BOLTON

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.

And it’s almost always Clarence Thomas.

Democrats really, REALLY HATE BLACK MEN.

They can “call on him” all they want but fat chance Thomas will bow down to them.

Liberal justices need to recuse themselves because they are stupid.

Since Democrats are only trying to influence Clarence Thomas and not the entire court, I say the Democrats are making a RACIST ATTACK by attacking a Black member of the court instead of the entire court.

Dick Durbin and the Democrats are RACISTS!!!!

Well at least the Democrats didn’t try to influence the Black Woman on the court. They would be both RACIST and SEXIST!!!_

Perhaps Justice Thomas will ‘consider’ their request once Biden and Hussein reverse EVERYTHING they have done for the last, say, 20 years. Only after all of those corrections are in place will Thomas ‘consider’ their request.

Trump’s false claims

Yeah, no bias there from The sHill ... and Senate Demonic Democrats can sit & spin. Ketanji Brown Jackson should recuse herself ... she holds office only because Biden "won" the disputed election. She has a genuine conflict of interest.

Democrats think they rule the Supreme Court how dare he refuse.

Only time democrats use law is for extortion wouldn’t be surprise if the courts going after Trump have it in mind with his wealth and clout.

It’s the only way they can climb up the ladder in D.C..

Senate Democrats aren’t fit to walk same ground as Justice Thomas. He has more integrity in his little finger, than the entire bunch of Democrats in both houses.
Tell them to pound sand, your Honor.
