Clarance Thomas somehow manages not to recuse himself even though his wife, Ginny ‘release the kraken’ Thomas is a prominent Stop the Steal campaigner who directly lobbied the Whitehouse to overturn the election results.
Won’t happen in either case as the code of conduct that federal judges are bound by in terms of having to step back from any case they have personal involvement or interest …. doesn’t apply to members of Supreme Court. Pretty much non of the safeguards or duties accociated with holding public office apply to them. They don’t have to recuse themselves from anything, they don’t have to declare financial interests and donations, non of the measures apply to them as they are all irrelevant – because they can’t be sacked.
What you can be sure of though – if Trump is elected…. the the second he’s elected, Alito and Thomas will retire for no reason other than to allow the Heritage Foundation to install the youngest two maga-patsies they possibly can. Until then they’ll drop heavy hints about retiring – Thomas in particular – becuase every time he talks about how hard being a Judge is and how horrible life in politics is more of his mortgages magically pay themselves, and another relative gets their education paid for and another massive free motorhome turns up at his front door. He will of course be just as well looked after for throwing the towel in next year.
