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.
It really fucking sucks that this angry asshole who’s primary motivation is getting revenge on the people who once tried to hold him accountable for being a serial sex pest has the ability to fuck the entire country for the rest of his life with zero recourse to stop him.
This was what I immediately thought of. I think his usual “look” is an attempt to try not to laugh maniacally at how much he loves being a partisan hack with impunity.
The problem is house democrats arent using speech to tell him. Loads and loads of $peech.
we are well beyond anyone in the SC recusing themselves for any reason. these dems are smokin the reefer
I swear the finger-wagging will work this time! Come on everyone, behave and follow the rules! /s
Seriously though, when will Dems key into the fact that the right doesn’t give a fuck about rules or institution? They’ve been doing obstructionist politics since Obama. They are obviously not interested in playing fair or governing effectively.
So, at what point do Dems become complicit?..
*I am not saying; don’t vote blue. Im saying we have to demand more from those who we elect before it is too late.
Its almost too late.
Could we start a go fund me so we could pay him to vote in favor of democracy?
Narrator: He didn’t.
Can I hear an argument from the other side because I clearly don’t understand how this argument isnt sound and isn’t being screamed by every talking head on TV, news, op ed, etc.
Pretty solid indicator he’s going to keep trump on the ballot.
The only threat he might consider is one of losing his access to YouPorn.
How about they stop “urging” the enemy to stop doing something, and instead of being feckless whiners, actually put on their big-boy pants and MAKE THEM!
Great sentiment, but how would they do that? House Democrats don’t really have any power
If he doesn’t recuse himself he needs to be impeached for it as well. He’s blatantly and openly in cahoots
Is his wife facing charges for being a leader of the movement that led to Jan 6th?
How about this: no matter what the decision is, Colorado keeps trump off the ballot anyway, with the rationale being that Thomas is a corrupt bastard in the tank for trump. It’s not like anything matters anymore.
[note: I don’t actually advocate this, for the most obvious reasons]
I feel it too
So 5-3 to keep Trump on instead of 6-3. It’s a bold strategy, Cotton.
just give him a new pillow and he’ll just fall asleep through it. if you tell him it costs a thousand dollars, he’ll happily accept it.
