Alito refuses to recuse

[Crepitus]

Meaning as a conservative jurist he does not vote your way. That is all.

I already told you "no". Are you dense?

 

[Failzero]

Two women murdered by the Capitol police. One was viciously stomped to death, the other shot by a racist black who got off scott free.

Byrd WILL be charged eventually

Byrd WILL be charged eventually

I would hope so, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for that.

Pissy panty libturds are upset that Justice Alito is declining the mindless libturd “demand” that he recuse himself.

Alito’s Aggrieved Letter to Congress Tips His Hand in the Jan. 6 Cases​

And his excuse is flat ridiculous.

It also proves that the ethics thing they engineered for themselves is useless just like I said when it was agreed to. Iy has no teeth and assume the justices are honest, which is a huge mistake in this day.

In Alito’s telling, he not only won’t recuse but in fact can’t recuse from the insurrection cases. Why? Because, he suggests, the nonbinding and entirely subjective ethics code to which the nine justices half-heartedly committed themselves this past fall requires that they remain on cases when they personally decide there’s no legitimate reason to recuse. Alito therefore asserts an “obligation” to hear the Trump-related cases.

So the ethics code is, we discover, mandatory, but only in the sense that it converts a justice’s hostility toward recusal into an affirmative duty not to recuse. (We trust that Alito, like the other Republican-appointed justices, will continue to disregard the ethics suggestions he dislikes.)

Your game.

Your rules.

You will hate it.

Just like a lying leftard to accuse others of what they themselves are doing.

May be another one for the ignore list.

So you another one of those "fuck the constitution" guys.

Noted.

Why do you believe Alitos wife doesn’t have the right to fly a flag?

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

He has shown no impartiality, and he never has, he has always been in the bag for Republicans, and now he has shown he is also part of the Trump cult, just like his bestie Clarence.

They are why people don't have trust in this body anymore.

Nope. Leftards are whining because they don’t have control over the SC like the had for the past forty years. It’s now an even court.

Why do you believe Alitos wife doesn’t have the right to fly a flag?

She does have that right. But Alito must recuse himself as a result.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans think Jan. 6 charges against Trump are serious​

​

Overall, 65% of adults think the charges are serious, including 51% who said they are very serious and 14% who said they are somewhat serious.

Only 24% said they are not serious, including 17% who said they are not serious at all.

Just over half -- 52% -- think Trump should have been charged with a crime in this case, while 32% said he should not have been. And a plurality of Americans (49%) said Trump should suspend his presidential campaign, while 36% said he shouldn't.

Alito is responsible for his wife’s thoughts?

Thomas's wife took a very active role in the insurrection. She paid to bus in some of the terrorists.

Alito's wife showed her bias by flying our flag upside down and by flying an Appeal to Heaven flag which as been adopted by the "stop the steal" losers.

Rule 2.11: Disqualification​

(A) A judge shall disqualify himself or herself in any proceeding in which the judge’s impartiality* might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited to the following circumstances:

(1) The judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party or a party’s lawyer, or personal knowledge* of facts that are in dispute in the proceeding.

(2) The judge knows* that the judge, the judge’s spouse or domestic partner,* or a person within the third degree of relationship* to either of them, or the spouse or domestic partner of such a person is:
(a) a party to the proceeding, or an officer, director, general partner, managing member, or trustee of a party;
(b) acting as a lawyer in the proceeding;
(c) a person who has more than a de minimis* interest that could be substantially affected by the proceeding; or
(d) likely to be a material witness in the proceeding.

(3) The judge knows that he or she, individually or as a fiduciary,* or the judge’s spouse, domestic partner, parent, or child, or any other member of the judge’s family residing in the judge’s household,* has an economic interest* in the subject matter in controversy or in a party to the proceeding.

As a participant in the insurrection, Ginni Thomas could be a material witness in Trump's trial.

Well, has anyone actually proven that he was flying that flag in solidarity to J6? All we have right now is just the assumption by the left, and an excuse from alitos wife.

You’re demanding he recuse based off of, what is at this point, an assumption.

 

[g5000]

What does Ginny Thomas have to do with Justice Alito or my question to you?

Thomas and Alito should both recuse.

I answered your question. Quite plainly.

If a judge's spouse has a de minimus interest in a case, the judge needs to recuse.

That's the law.

 

[ThisIsMe]

I see people claiming that the upside down flag is a symbol of the J6 protesters, same with the appeal to Heaven flag…yet, these are only recent stories, since this issue with Alito. I don’t recall hearing anything about upside down flags until this story broke.


Does anyone have any links to stories back in 2020 that this had been adopted as a symbol by the January 6 protesters? Because I looked and only found one story about one person at the J6 protest who had an upside down flag.
