Robert ReichJul 1, 2024

Alito & Thomas violated SCOTUS' "code of ethics," which requires them to recuse from cases with even the appearance of a conflict of interest.

Alito flew 2 insurrectionist flags.

Thomas' wife tried to overturn the election.

If that's not the appearance of conflict, what is?

@gatsby34 @rbreich It might, but it might’ve gone the other way if Roberts was in the position of cementing his legacy as kingmaker. A 6-3 decision is easier to accept.
