SCOTUS dragging its feet on a decision about Trump’s ludicrous immunity claim is a stain on the court that cannot be washed out. It will be written and talked about for centuries to come. Shame on John Roberts and the Right-wing justices.

Insurrectionist and injustice #ClarenceThomas refuses to recuse himself from the Colorado case where the state seeks to block from being on the ballot, due to the 14th Amendment. #SCOTUS is illegitimate and is not fit to oversee this or any other case. Get loud about this. Insurrectionists cannot hold public office. #LockHimUp#ImpeachClarenceThomas
"Senate Democrats are pressuring the supreme court justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from deciding whether Donald Trump has immunity from prosecution for alleged crimes he committed while president.
"Democrats have argued that Thomas poses a potential conflict of interest because his wife, Ginni Thomas, has previously supported Trump’s false claims that the election was stolen, the Hill reported.
"During her testimony to the committee investigating the January 6 insurrection in 2022, Ginni Thomas said she still believed the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.
"Following the 2020 election, Ginni Thomas also texted former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows and told him to contest the election results, accusing Biden and Democrats of 'attempting the greatest Heist of our History'.
"The Illinois senator Dick Durbin, who is chair of the Senate judicial committee, has called for Thomas’s recusal, arguing the relationship between Trump and the Thomas family is unclear.
“'There are so many unanswered questions about the relationship of the justice and his family with the Trump administration that I think in the interests of justice, he should recuse himself,' Durbin said to the Hill."
1/... Senate Judiciary Committee announced plans to vote to subpoena billionaires who reportedly gave lavish gifts to #SupremeCourt Justices #ClarenceThomas & #Alito.
"Thomas, however, is apparently an extreme outlier for the volume and frequency of all the undisclosed vacations he’s received. He once complained that he sacrificed wealth to sit on the court, though he depicted the choice as a matter of conscience. “The job is not worth doing for what they pay,” he told the bar association in Savannah, Georgia, in 2001, “but it is worth doing for the principle.” "🙄
