Well, Recu-u-use Me!

I’m just a plainspoken Colorado criminal defense lawyer, but the way I see it…

Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: at least two of my country’s Supreme Court justices have betrayed their sworn allegiance to the Constitution they also swore to support and defend.

Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Sam Alito both have chosen their wives, if they are to be believed, over our founding document.

Both refuse to recuse themselves over matters before the Court relating to the January 6 insurrection and other attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. That, despite Ginni Thomas helping to lead the fact-free “Stop the Steal” campaign in part by urging Republican state legislators to overturn their citizens’ votes, and Martha-Ann Alito flying daft upside-down flags associated with that campaign on the family front lawn.

Both claim that neither of their sweet sweet ladies have the slightest influence on them.

I’m not sure anyone who’s ever been married can say that, not without the slightest dent in their straight face.

I can’t honestly be too hard on the robed rascals, though.

I too can’t say I would choose a piece of parchment, however sacred, over the woman I love.

Guess that qualifies me to be a member of the Supreme Court, right there.
