"Democrat Urges Justice Thomas to Recuse from Trump Ballot Cases Amid Supreme Court Tensions"

Rep. Jamie Raskin has called for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from potential cases involving the removal of Donald Trump from primary ballots based on the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. Raskin's concern stems from decisions in Colorado and Maine to disqualify Trump, citing his alleged involvement in the January 6 insurrection. Raskin, who served on the committee investigating the Capitol riot, points to the ethical implications given Thomas's wife's activism in support of Trump's election fraud claims. The Supreme Court's conservative majority, including three Trump appointees, faces scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest in these cases.
