Rep. Cohen: Justice Alito Has Flaunted His Disdain for Election Laws and Peaceful Transfer of Power

EXCERPT:

COHEN: "There is no acceptable answer. Supreme Court justices, like other members of the judiciary, should be beyond reproach. They should be like Caesar‘s wife, beyond reproach. Senate — Justice Alito has flaunted his disdain for the election laws in our country and for the peaceful transfer of power with the flag he flew of the United States flag upside down at his home in January of 2023, and now we see what he‘s done in his vacation home. That dog won‘t hunt. To blame his wife is like saying, 'My dog ate my homework.' That‘s not going to work. That dog won‘t hunt. He should recuse himself from all cases dealing with the 2020 election and with President Trump and election interference. And there is no question, he nor Clarence Thomas should participate in the Supreme Court on any decisions regarding Trump. With Clarence Thomas, his wife Ginni involved in the coup attempt, they should not be able to participate because they‘ve got a prejudice and they‘ve shown their prejudice. They are not impartial determiners of the law, and they should not allow it. And this is a time for Justice Roberts to show that he cares about the Supreme Court and its reputation. This is the rule of law and that‘s what the United States is known for, and it‘s on Justice Roberts' clock right now to take action and force them not to participate."
