Democrats intensify calls for Clarence Thomas to recuse in Trump case

Democrats are urging Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from a case involving former President Donald Trump's presidential immunity, citing concerns about his ability to remain impartial due to his wife's involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Thomas's wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, has been actively engaged in conservative activism and has expressed beliefs that the election was stolen. Democrats argue that her actions raise questions about Thomas's impartiality in cases related to the election and the January 6th insurrection. Several Democrats in Congress and on the Senate Judiciary Committee are calling for Thomas's recusal, while others are advocating for legislation to establish enforceable standards for recusal of Supreme Court justices.
