Klobuchar: Justice Thomas Should Recuse Himself from Jan. 6th Cases

‘This is a textbook case for removing him, recusing him from these decisions’

EXCERPT:

KLOBUCHAR: "Justice — I mean, the entire integrity of the court is on the line here. And they had better speak out on this because you cannot have a justice hearing cases related to this election. And, in fact, the ethics rules that apply to all the other federal judges say that if it involves a family member, appearance of impartiality, they have to recuse themselves. So not only should he recuse himself, but this Supreme Court badly needs ethics rules. Chris Murphy is leading a bill I've long been on, supportive of, that says basically get your act together, get ethics rules in place. And I would hope Justice Roberts, who I respect, will stand up and get those ethics rules in place. They’ve got to do that. They should do it themselves."
