Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) suggested Sunday that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from a future ruling on whether former President Trump can be disqualified from the 2024 ballot under the 14th Amendment.

Raskin said he thinks “anybody looking at this in any kind of dispassionate, reasonable way would say if your wife was involved in the big lie and claiming that Donald Trump actually won the presidential election and [had] been agitating for that and participating in the events leading up to Jan. 6, that you shouldn’t be participating.”

“He should recuse himself,” Raskin added in response to a direct question from CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”

    Thomas should just recuse himself from everything, I.e. resign if he had any morals.

      Yep, its accurate and also trump is gonna provide Clarence a gift, of a trip to on his yacht or a bunch of money. Clarence Thomas loves to get gifts that will not at all influence his decision, as if he is very much not at all corrupt.

        I’m unsure if you realize who Trump is. There are no gifts, or yachts or cash, just empty promises.

    Thomas responded by not even making the effort to raise his middle finger.

    That sounds just a tad more resolute than a “suggestion.”

      It cannot be more than a suggestion, because short of impeachment, the SCOTUS justices are the only people who can decide whether to recuse themselves.
