TL;DR Summary

Representative Jamie Raskin has called for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from cases involving the disqualification of Donald Trump from the 2024 ballots, as per the 14th Amendment, due to his wife Ginni Thomas' involvement in the January 6 events and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Raskin expressed concerns about what actions could be taken if Thomas does not recuse himself, and he also commented on the Supreme Court's new, but non-binding, code of ethics amidst scrutiny over gifts received by Thomas from a GOP donor. The situation underscores the tension between enforcing constitutional provisions and the potential political implications of disqualifying a presidential candidate.
