House Democrats urge Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from Trump Colorado ballot case
The former president has asked the Supreme Court to overturn a ruling in Colorado that he is ineligible to appear on the state primary ballot because of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
The former president has asked the Supreme Court to overturn a ruling in Colorado that he is ineligible to appear on the state primary ballot because of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
A group of House Democrats on Thursday called on conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from a case involving former President Donald Trump's eligibility to appear on Colorado's Republican primary ballot.
Trump on Wednesday asked the Supreme Court to overturn a Colorado court ruling last month that disqualified him from appearing on the ballot over his conduct leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. The former president’s appeal came after the state’s Republican Party filed its own appeal of the Colorado Supreme Court's decision. The state court put its ruling on hold to allow for appeals, meaning Trump could remain on the ballot pending U.S. Supreme Court action.
A group of House Democrats, led by Rep. Hank Johnson, of Georgia, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee’s courts subcommittee, demanded that Thomas recuse himself from the case in a letter dated Thursday.
You're viewing a single thread.
“I could recuse myself to help settle down the corruption cases building against me…. Naaaa, I’m a fucking Supreme Court justice, I AM the law”
i feel like there's a good Judge Dredd photoshop waiting to happen here...
If you could offer enough money, you could probably get him to show up to hear cases dressed liked Judge Dredd.
That would be a bribe and Justice Clarence Thomas has proved time and time again that he's never accepted a bribe!
He'll accept a gift, though. If you buy him, like, 300 Judge Dredd costumes and a couple for his mom, then it would just be bad manners not to wear them, right?
maybe just a yacht would do it...
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you made when you killed Roe v Wade
It's not fair, don't deny it!
The bribes you bear you say they gave away
You- you... Yacht ta know!
Here you go.
well, at least AI is good for something
I mean, given that Roberts is scared of AI, and I'm not wasting more on Clarence than the four minutes it took to generate this, it seemed appropriate.
Why is he scared of AI, did the Pope say something about it?
Because AI is coming for all of our jobs! Fear, fear for your lives!
It's the usual conservative reactionary impetus.
Rule of thumb: if you see "supreme" and "democracy" used simultaneously, someone is trying to fuck you.
Brb, I'm gonna go talk to your mom about supreme democracy
I left myself wide open. For shame
Not as wide open as she is.

Fare thee well, Lemmy! * smoke bomb *
I'm a little worried about what the fartographer puts in their smoke bombs.
This is such a dumb sentence...
Not as dumb as lifetime appointments in democracies, but go off
I'll have uhh... a #9 double democracy supreme, with cheese
