New: Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin is calling on Alito to recuse himself from all cases involving the 2020 election.
"The Court is in an ethical crisis of its own making, and Justice Alito and the rest of the Court should be doing everything in their power to regain public trust."
@GottaLaff we all already know none of them will ever recuse themselves, there are no consequences for them. It's good to see them being called out, but nothing will be done because they don't have to.
@GottaLaff The whole idea that the SC is not political needs to go away. It always has been. People just live longer now. Jefferson was right that we should change the constitution as time goes on. Either we do that or it all falls apart.
@GottaLaff the ethical crisis isn't entirely of SCOTUS own making, the GOP has helped tremendously in creating it. Kudos to Mitch McConnell especially for all his efforts along with the Federalist Society and Leonard Leo, of course.
