"Senate Democrats urge Thomas to recuse in Trump immunity case as Supreme Court demands response before Christmas"

Senate Democrats are urging Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from ruling on former President Trump's claim of immunity from prosecution for alleged crimes committed while in office. They argue that Thomas has a conflict of interest due to his wife's support for Trump's false claims about the 2020 election. Democrats are concerned that a conservative-leaning Supreme Court could rule in favor of Trump's immunity, diminishing the values of the country. The Democrats' calls for recusal are dismissed by Republicans as "absurd," while some Democrats argue that it makes sense given Thomas's wife's political advocacy for Trump.
