Democrats are continuing to attack the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court by pushing for Justice Samuel Alito’s recusal.
Progressive lawmakers have spent several months needling Chief Justice
John Roberts about Alito.
According to Courthouse News, House Democrats recently attempted to
pressure the chief justice to back the push against Alito.
They are demanding that Robert elaborate on reports that he had removed
Alito “as the lead opinion author for a Supreme Court case involving the
Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.”
The same Democrats also questioned Roberts as to why he allowed Alito on
the case to begin with.
Democrat Reps. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
penned a letter to Roberts asking for that information, the reports noted. “The flag display, which the justice has since said was done by his
wife, prompted calls from lawmakers and legal advocates on Alito to
recuse himself from cases related to Jan. 6.”
Alito refused to give in to the pressure from his critics, however.
It was Alito’s wife who flew the flag and it had nothing to do with Jan. 6.
The two Democrats argued in the letter that replacing Alito on the
majority opinion of the Jan. 6-related ruling “strongly suggests” that
the chief justice viewed the flag incident as a potential conflict of
interest.
Chief Justice Roberts has contended that it’s not up to him to force
justices to recuse themselves from certain cases.
Nevertheless, AOC and Raskin pushed back on that claim.
“The notion that individual Justices can decide for themselves whether
their own conduct violates the Constitution, federal law or the court’s
code of conduct is untenable in our republic and clearly violates the fundamental and original principle of due process that ‘no man can be a
judge in his own case,'” they wrote.
AOC and Raskin demanded that Roberts confirm the New York Times report
that said he had, in fact, replaced Alito on the case’s opinion.
