Assassination Dog Whistle? Jamie Raskin Targets Clarence Thomas: “What Do We Do if He Doesn’t Recuse Himself?” from Trump Supreme Court Cases
In an appearance on CNN on Sunday, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) appeared to issue a threat to Justice Clarence Thomas if he does not recuse himself from participating in Supreme Court cases involving President Trump over efforts to remove him from the 2024 presidential election due to the “insurrection” clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
When asked by CNN State of the Union host Dana Bash if Thomas should recuse himself from Trump election cases because of his wife Ginni Thomas’ activism in support of Trump’s efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election, Raskin said, “He absolutely should recuse himself. The question is, what do we do if he doesn’t recuse himself?”
Congress has no constitutional role in deciding which justices hear cases on the Supreme Court.
