Justice has ever been as openly politically active as jenny thomas. the bombshell revelation from "the washington post" that she sent 29 text messages to donald trumps chief of staff mark meadows promoting qanon conspiracy theories to overturn the 2020 election cast yet another shadow over thomas with the impartiality he claims to espouse on the bench. that isnt his only connection to january 6th. his law clerk john eastman is responsible for providing the dubious legal justification to steal th...

It fails on two grounds. one is accuracy, the idea that this is a military exercise when it is clearly a war of aggression and repeated other failures of accuracy is something 0fcom are concerned about. and also due impartiality. due impartiality is a difficult and broad thing to explain but it broadly means an absence of bringing a certain amount of ideological baggage to journalism and it would be fair to say, watching rt, there is a fair amount of ideological baggage. so it�*s the fact it i...

President stand for, mark! the majority knows biden and the left is attempting the greatest heist of our history. >> meadows wrote back to her on november 24th, quote, this is a fight of good versus evil. what do you think about this? >> well, stephanie, at best, this is wildly inappropriate. but at worst, i think it is calling into question the impartiality of clarence thomas, her husband, on the supreme court. as you, said donald trump was going to go to the supreme court to stop the january s...

More assertive, which was seen when itjoined the other countries in abstaining from voting on the russian resolution at the united nations which talked about the humanitarian crisis without mentioning its invasion of ukraine. brazil did vote for the un resolution to condemn russia, but president jair bolsonaro himself has done things a little differently. just before the invasion, he went to moscow to meet vladimir putin when he talked about solidarity with russia. mr bolsonaro has also criticis...

When theres a dispute, they are the court that is supposed to make this decision. there actually is a federal law. this federal law that actually applies to supreme court justices as well that says that, if theres a situation where you are impartiality, or the impartiality of a justice or any other federal judge could be called into question then recusal is necessary. the question is what happens if the judge does not recuse himself or herself in such a situation? there is no higher court that y...

I want you to talk to us about the recent revelations regarding ginni thomass efforts to overturn the 2020 election. what do they tell you? any this is very disturbing. this is the wife of supreme court justice who is advocating, you know, qanon theories about water marks on ballots and about stolen elections to the chief of staff of the president of the united states, and coincidentally or maybe not so coincidentally, that is the same justice of the court, the only justice who dissented in the ...

Bottom of how much more she was involved and things. how much she was talking to meadows. just a quarterback of the whole effort to the congress, and other people. that strikes me as even more important than this recusal ploy, because to cut to the chase on, that thomas gets to decide on his own. there is no law contrary to what mccarthy sense, and hes going to stiff -- as he has in the past. >> carol, i want to share with and when you law professor told the new yorker. he said justice thomas cl...

A judge should recuse himself not only if theres an actual conflict of interest, like a financial stake for a family member or their spouse is an actual party to the lawsuit, but if there is an appearance of a conflict of interest. that is, you know, theyre impartiality could be questioned by a member of the public. if thats the case, judges at the district court level are supposed to recuse themselves. they dont have that at the supreme court and i think theres been a lot of push for the suprem...

Supreme court justice to vote, to block the january six committee from getting trumps papers. the fact that he did that, there is no consequences for that? >> currently, there are no consequences for. that there have been calls for better recusal rules, more stringent rules, for justices on the supreme court. but instead, they recuse themselves and are only required to do that in a narrow subset of cases, in contrast to other parts of the court. general roberts has been a advocate himself for th...
