If one of the liberal-leaning Supreme Court justices refused to recuse him or herself on a case where the justice's spouse had some deep involvement, the Republicans would be all over it, calling for the justice to resign.
So where are the Democrats in the current situation where Clarence Thomas seems to have acted on cases where his wife had some strong interests?
Isn't it time to make noise about this apparent conflict of interest, especially as the Supreme Court is increasingly seen by the public as less than impartial? Get Justice Thomas to be more careful about recusing himself in the future or, better yet, get him to resign.
Then President Biden can appoint a black justice in his place who more accurately reflects the views and interests of the majority of black folk he is supposed to represent.
