House Democrats Demand Justice Alito's Recusal Over January 6 and 2020 Election Cases
May 22, 2024, 10:11 PM
A group of House Democrats is calling for Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to recuse himself from all cases related to the January 6 insurrection and the 2020 election. This demand follows revelations that Alito displayed an upside-down American flag, a symbol adopted by 'Stop the Steal' activists, outside his home. Additionally, Alito is facing scrutiny for flying another controversial flag at his New Jersey vacation home. The lawmakers argue that these actions demonstrate a clear political bias, undermining the impartiality required of a Supreme Court Justice. Representative Steve Cohen has introduced a resolution to censure Alito over these incidents, emphasizing the need for ethical conduct within the Court. Calls for recusal have also extended to Justice Clarence Thomas, who, along with Alito, has been accused of showing political bias. Chief Justice Roberts has been urged to address the situation, which includes cases involving Trump immunity and presidential immunity. The controversy has intensified with public statements from various representatives and media outlets questioning the integrity of the Court.
