Judges, Recusal, and Impartiality in the Supreme Court
This chapter delves into the implications of the Trump immunity case and the separate Capitol rioters obstruction case on federal charges against Trump. It also discusses calls for Justices Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves due to their spouses' ties to the January 6th events, the new Supreme Court code of conduct, and the lack of enforcement mechanisms for ethics violations. The chapter emphasizes the importance of recusal in maintaining the integrity of the judiciary, especially for Supreme Court Justices facing complex decisions amidst a politically charged environment.
