Via Kyle Griffin:

New: Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin is calling on Alito to recuse himself from all cases involving the 2020 election.

"The Court is in an ethical crisis of its own making, and Justice Alito and the rest of the Court should be doing everything in their power to regain public trust."

@GottaLaff

For those saying, “But what about Thomas?!”, an easy-peasy Google search shows that Durbin has also called on Thomas to recuse, several months ago.

@GottaLaff the ethical crisis isn't entirely of SCOTUS own making, the GOP has helped tremendously in creating it. Kudos to Mitch McConnell especially for all his efforts along with the Federalist Society and Leonard Leo, of course.

@darwinwoodka What a bunch of thugs.

@GottaLaff we all already know none of them will ever recuse themselves, there are no consequences for them. It's good to see them being called out, but nothing will be done because they don't have to.

@GottaLaff Can we just pause for a second and think what life was like for a 3rd grader named Dick Durbin.

@GottaLaff Ugh. I keep looking back on the fact that we could have had Harriet Miers. Sure, she seemed unqualified at the time. So we got Alito 😑 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_Miers_Supreme_Court_nomination?wprov=sfti1

@snoozinsa At the time, I thought, yay! Sigh. Stupid me.

@GottaLaff The whole idea that the SC is not political needs to go away. It always has been. People just live longer now. Jefferson was right that we should change the constitution as time goes on. Either we do that or it all falls apart.

Moral_Gutpunch,

@GottaLaff When your answer to 'who watches the watchers' is 'the watchers themselves', you done fucked up

@GottaLaff the idea of Alito doing the right thing cracks me up.

@philip_cardella He is so unfit to be there, it burns me up

@GottaLaff he's probably just going to ignore the call. Add another unethical justice to the list.

@GottaLaff
So should Clarence. Make it a 7 person court for those cases.

@GottaLaff Just Alito, not Thomas too?

@virtualbri @GottaLaff great question, also is their any GOP appointed justice on the court that is not corrupt or has major conflicts of interest at this point? All of them should resign or be impeached, not that any politician in DC has the spine to actually hold them accountable though 🤷🏽‍♂️
