On Wednesday, Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin wrote a truly insane New York Times op-ed where he argued that the Justice Department has the right to force Supreme Court justices to recuse themselves and in the evening, he went on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront to discuss it. Burnett was not interested in challenging his looney theories, instead claiming that “you would hope” the justices would recuse themselves because the public needs to trust institutions that are under attack, not caring to notice it was her guest who was undermining that trust. Burnett began by reading from a letter Justice Alito wrote back to Raskin about his flags nontroversy, “He wrote to Congress and part of that, quote: ‘My wife is fond of flying flags. I am not. My wife was solely responsible for having flag poles put up at our residence and our vacation home and has flown a wide variety of flags over the years.’”     After introducing Raskin, she snickered, “I don't know if my reaction was apparent to anyone watching, but 'my wife is fond of flying flags' and he asked her for several days to take it down and she didn't. What's your reaction to that? He's written a letter to Congress essentially tripling down on it's all his wife's fault.” The media doesn’t seem to appreciate the difference between blaming and explaining. Alito is simply explaining that his wife is her own person and that the upside-down and Appeal to Heaven flags were her ideas. At the end of the interview, Burnett appeared to again take Raskin’s side, “Well, it also seems, at the very least, just the perception of it, right, that you would hope the Supreme Court justices would care so deeply about that and to preserve institutions in this country, especially at a time when they're under such assault, that he may come to a different conclusion.” The Supreme Court is under attack from Democrats like Raskin because it is possible it will not rule the way they want. Therefore, they've concocted a conspiracy theory that alleges Mrs. Alito’s response to nasty neighborly abuse or flying a flag that was in the title credits of HBO’s John Adams miniseries and a desktop prop in NBC’s Parks and Recreation shows bias in favor of January 6 rioters. Burnett’s great solution to this is for Alito to cave, which would only encourage Raskin and his supporters to come up with even dumber allegations. Burnett added, “He says actually, Congressman, in his letter, quote, ‘any reasonable person’ he says who is not motivated by politics, or again, I quote, ‘or a desire to affect the outcome of the Supreme Court cases,’ any reasonable person who would conclude he doesn't need to recuse himself. Alito is correct because Jamie Raskin is not a reasonable person, but he did reply, “Well, it's interesting he uses that language because any reasonable person is basically the standard that's used in terms of recusal. The Supreme Court says, it's not a subjective test. Alito and Thomas, who's involved arguably in an even more complicitous situation in terms of his wife's political activities, but they seem to think that it's up to them. They can decide for themselves.” Underneath the surface of this story is a media contradiction that says that the January 6 rioters were insurrections out to destroy democracy, but that they should be powerful enough to appropriate a Revolution-era symbol and claim it as their own. Here is a transcript for the May 29 show: CNN Erin Burnett OutFront 5/29/2024 7:31 PM ET ERIN BURNETT: Tonight, defiant Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito in a rare letter to Congress saying he won't recuse himself from January 6-related cases. Alito fighting back against critics who say an upside down American flag flying over his home in January of 2021, as well as the second flag on the property, another one of his properties used by insurrectionists on January 6 show bias. Now, Alito says that his wife flew those flags without his awareness and actually in the case of the inverted American flag, which was sort of a standard bearer for the January 6 crowd, he says his wife actually refused for several days to take it down after he asked her to. He wrote to Congress and part of that, quote: “My wife is fond of flying flags. I am not. My wife was solely responsible for having flag poles put up at our residence and our vacation home and has flown a wide variety of flags over the years.” Okay. OutFront now, Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland, top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, also a lawyer and a former constitutional law professor, right, and he's written an op-ed arguing that there is a way to force Alito to recuse himself from January 6 cases. And, Congressman, I so much appreciate your time and obviously, I want to get to your op-ed, that's the heart of this. But, first, I just as I was reading that, I don't know if my reaction was apparent to anyone watching, but “my wife is fond of flying flags” and he asked her for several days to take it down and she didn't. What's your reaction to that? He's written a letter to Congress essentially tripling down on it's all his wife's fault. … BURNETT: Well, it also seems, at the very least, just the perception of it, right, that you would hope the Supreme Court justices would care so deeply about that and to preserve institutions in this country, especially at a time when they're under such assault, that he may come to a different conclusion. But he got -- he says actually, Congressman, in his letter, quote, “any reasonable person” he says who is not motivated by politics, or again, I quote, “or a desire to affect the outcome of the Supreme Court cases,” any reasonable person who would conclude he doesn't need to recuse himself. RASKIN: Yeah. BURNETT: What do you say to that? RASKIN: Well, it's interesting he uses that language because any reasonable person is basically the standard that's used in terms of recusal. The Supreme Court says, it's not a subjective test. Alito and Thomas, who's involved arguably in an even more complicitous situation in terms of his wife's political activities, but they seem to think that it's up to them. They can decide for themselves. But what the Supreme Court has said is that this is an objective test, not a question of subjective introspection and will on the part of the particular judge. And any reasonable person would look at this situation and say, these judges at the very least have a deep appearance of bias in these cases, you know? And if you look at the Pennsylvania case which I discussed, that the Supreme Court decided, there, again, the court said it's not a subjective test. It's an objective test. And then in looking at it, there are a whole series of criteria that are borrowed from the ABA. And then they also said, finally, that it's not enough to say, well, it's just one justice out of nine because it's not just their vote, which would be unethically, unconstitutionally cast. It's their ability to influence the other justices as well, which is so problematic.

Our Final Verdict We give Diggs Evolv Modern Dog Crate a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Quality: 5/5 Design: 5/5 Assembly: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Check Price on Diggs Whether you’re training a puppy or kenneling an adult dog, it’s important to have a functional crate. But not every crate checks all the boxes when it comes to safety and design. And with so many brands on the market, how do you know which one to choose? That’s where Diggs comes in. Diggs is a pet brand committed to selling high-quality pet essentials, like crates, walking gear, and training supplies. They’re best known for their innovative dog crates–including their award-winning Revol Crate–and have made a name for themselves in the pet industry with their revolutionary designs. My dog, Micah, and I tried out Diggs’ Evolv Dog Crate and it’s by far the best crate I’ve ever owned. Not only is it quick and easy to assemble but at six years old, Evolv is the only crate Micah actually wants to be in. Between the versatile features and classy look, Evolv is not just a stellar product for pet parents, it’s also a great product for puppies and adult dogs (take Micah’s word for it). If you’re looking for a practical crate that’s convenient for you and safe for your pup, Evolv could be the one for you. Keep reading to find out! About Diggs What is Diggs? Diggs is a pet lifestyle and supplies company that specializes in designing innovative pet crates and travel carriers. The company was founded by dog owner Zel Crampton after he struggled to find a safe and practical crate for his dog, Louise. Upon creating Revol–the brand’s first and most popular dog crate–the company continued to expand their product line with the mission to improve the lives of pets everywhere. Since their founding in 2018, Diggs has grown into a leading supplier of pet essentials, selling everything from crates and beds to leashes and treat spreads. With their recent launch of the Evolv Dog Crate, they’re continuing to reinvent the future of pet products with a commitment to quality, safety, innovation, and design. Who is the Evolv Crate Best Suited For? Evolv is an ideal crate for everyday home use. The high-quality, puppy-proof design makes it great for dogs of all life stages and the tool-free assembly means any dog owner can easily set it up. While this isn’t the best crate for travel (it’s not designed to be), it’s the perfect home base for your pup when they’re hanging out around the house. The crate comes in four sizes (small, medium, intermediate, and large) with the largest size holding dogs up to 90lbs. Micah is a 54lb Standard Goldendoodle and tried out the large (42”L x 28”W x 31”H). He’s technically in the weight range of the intermediate (50-70lbs) but I went with the large based on the size of his current crate and the suggested breeds in the size chart. Even though the crate is a little big for him, the extra room lets him sprawl out and gives me space to put his mat, blanket, and giant stuffed octopus that he loves to snuggle with. Evolv Modern Dog Crate Overview Check Price on Diggs Prioritizing safety and security, Diggs designed Evolv with your four-legged friend in mind. But they also know convenience is key. That’s why they made Evolv easy to assemble and customizable to fit your space and your dog’s needs. What is The Evolv Dog Crate? Evolv is Diggs’ sleekest and slimmest dog crate, featuring a steel frame, mesh wire walls, and two dual-lock doors. The diamond mesh is pinch-free and the modular design lets you add two additional doors for easy access and a personalized experience. Included with the crate is a removable tray and a puppy divider. The tray allows for quick cleaning and the puppy divider lets you crate your furry friend through puppyhood. Speaking of puppies, Evolv comes with a removable ceiling frame, which lets you transform the crate into a playpen. How It Works This is hands down the easiest metal crate I’ve ever assembled. You’ll start by connecting the four side panels to create the main frame. There are a few ways to position the doors, but no matter how you do it, the door handles should meet at the same corner. Next, you’ll secure the base to the four panels using the corner connectors. The connectors were the hardest part for me to get the hang of, but after doing a few, the rest were a breeze. The key is to align the connectors with the corners, snap them into place, and then rotate them to the locked position. At this point the crate is upside down, so you’ll need to flip it over. Once right-side up, insert the tray. If you need the puppy divider, go ahead and install it now. If not, repeat the process with the corner connectors to attach the ceiling frame. Customization Options Evolv is known for its versatility and flexibility. It has a slim, modular design that allows you to add up to four configurable doors to fit your space and give your dog the freedom to move around. This means all four side panels can be replaced with doors. Evolv also easily transforms into a playpen. As a 2-in-1 crate, Evolv has open-frame access that allows you to convert your crate into an enclosed play area during the day and then back into a cozy den at night. Additional doors and the playpen ceiling frame are add-ons and must be purchased separately. Shipping and Returns Your order will ship within 1-2 business days and arrive within 3-6 business days. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout and differ based on where you live. If you receive your order and decide it’s not for you, you can return it within 30 days. A shipping fee will be deducted from your refund and the rate varies depending on the type of product you purchased and the product size. In Summary Pros High-quality and durable 2-in-1 crate with Playpen Mode Tool-free assembly Dual lock doors Innovative design Modern look Puppy divider Quick and easy to set up Fast shipping Cons Expensive Heavy Hard to travel with Key Features Check Price on Diggs High-Quality, Safe, and Durable If there’s one thing Diggs prioritizes, it’s safety. Evolv is made with an ultra-strong coated steel frame that’s free from toxic materials like phthalates and heavy metals. The wire mesh is diamond-shaped to prevent pinching, and there aren’t any sharp edges for your dog’s paws to get caught on. The dual lock doors are finger-friendly and puppy-proof. Even if your dog is a canine Houdini, the locks are integrated into the doors on the outside of the panels, so there’s nothing for your pup to pull on or accidentally open. Easy to Set Up and Maintain This is the only non-collapsible crate I enjoyed setting up. Along with the quick setup, the tool-free, finger-friendly assembly was enough to sell me on this product. My fingers have taken a beating on both standard metal crates and soft collapsible ones, so the fact that Evolv doesn’t require tools or hurt your hands is amazing. It’s also easy to clean. The removable tray makes for stress-free cleaning and the material is easy to wipe down. Stylish If style and aesthetics are important to you, Evolv will not disappoint. This is a good-looking crate and I wouldn’t be surprised if it starts a trend in the pet industry. With its stylish look and modern design, Evolv isn’t a crate you’ll want to hide when guests come to visit. If anything, it’s one you’ll want to show off to all your dog-owning friends. Is the Evolv Crate a Good Value? Ranging from $170.00 to $300.00, Evolv isn’t exactly cheap. When compared to competitor brands, it’s on the higher end of the price range. That said, it has a lot going for it. Between the safety features, high-quality materials, and customization options, it’s a great value and a one-of-a-kind crate. You’re not likely to find anything like it on the market, and with the sturdy design, you’ll have it for a long time. Check Price on Diggs Frequently Asked Questions Is the crate collapsible?

By signing up, you’ll be the first to know when the Evolv Crate (or any of Diggs’ other amazing products) can be shipped to your door. Our Experience with the Evolv Dog Crate I’ll start out by saying Micah has never been a fan of crates. He hesitates to go in them, is reluctant to stay inside them, and if you close the door, it’s game over. It doesn’t matter if it’s the soft-sided collapsible ones or the standard metal ones. At six years old, he still shies away from them. So, you can imagine how surprised I was when he not only showed interest in the Evolv Crate but decided to go inside and check it out. Within a week, he was going in the crate on his own to take a nap. If you know Micah, you know how huge that is for him. And he’s not the only one who likes it either. I was impressed with the crate when I took it out of the box. Initially, it looked like a lot of pieces but it has an intuitive design, so even without instructions, it doesn’t take much thought to put together. As someone who appreciates convenience, this was a huge plus. Assembly is pretty straightforward. The four panels connect to one another and the ceiling and base are held together with corner connectors. It took me a while to set it up the first time, but a good chunk of that was spent fiddling with the connectors. After mastering the corners, I had the crate up in minutes. Once it was standing, I understood the hype. Evolv is designed with an open, airy concept. Even though it’s a large item, it’s built with a slim design and has a classy feel, so it looks good no matter where I put it in the house. It doesn’t overpower my living space or distract from my home décor either. When you have a big dog, it’s not easy to hide their crate, so the sleek look was a selling point for me. More than anything, this is a crate I’m confident Micah will be safe in. Evolv is made with non-toxic materials and is dog-proof from the inside out. It’s incredibly durable and the double doors make it inviting and non-confining, which is why I think Micah likes it so much. As a crate that’s built to last, I know I’ll have it for a long time. While I’d love to take Evolv with me on road trips, this isn’t a crate I would travel with. Along with being heavy, it has quite a few pieces when disassembled. Diggs also mentions they designed Evolv for in-home use (they recommend their Enventur Inflatable Travel Kennel if you’re planning a pup-friendly getaway). That’s not to say you can’t travel with it, and if you have a small crate, you’d probably be okay taking it on a trip. Just know that it isn’t designed for portability and the large crate is cumbersome to pack up. Check Price on Diggs Conclusion When you buy Diggs’ Evolv Dog Crate, you’re buying the whole package. It’s safe, sturdy, and stylish and has all the add-ons and configurations you need to customize it to your lifestyle. I love Evolv for its easy assembly and I have peace of mind knowing it’s safe for Micah. Many brands make a good dog crate, but Diggs has perfected the design, creating a high-quality, easy-to-assemble, puppy-proof crate without compromising on quality or safety.

In a media-run state, every news cycle is an opportunity to further the regime’s propaganda and reinforce the narrative. The relentless outrage manufactured by our media overlords has become increasingly absurd as their pool of viable candidates for the mandatory two minutes of hate continues to shrink.Leftism demands an eternal revolution, which requires enemies of the people who can be flogged publicly for the amusement of the masses. As progressives achieve near total control, the number of real threats to their power shrinks, so they must go to increasingly outrageous lengths to manufacture the kinds of enemies they desire.For all their pearl clutching about threats to democracy, liberals have enthusiastically overridden the will of the people using the power of the courts.The latest bit of media-manufactured outrage has come in the form of a flag flown by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito outside his summer home in New Jersey. The “Appeal to Heaven” flag features a tall New England pine tree on a white background, not exactly the most controversial imagery one could imagine. Nevertheless, progressive journalists flooded television and social media with a deluge of hysterical reports warning that fascism was now the ruling ideology of the high court.The high priests of our secular regime quickly connected the flag to the January 6 protest and Christian nationalism, convincing millions of lonely wine-aunts that they are one election away from living in “The Handmaid’s Tale.”The Supreme Court has become a very high-priority target for the left after losing its multigenerational domination of the institution a few years ago. When progressives held sway, they used the judiciary body as a battering ram, forcing through every leftist policy while laughing at the voters. While we are often fed narratives of brave souls leading protest movements that shift public opinion, the truth is that most of the left’s cultural victories were won through judicial fiat, not the ballot box. For all their pearl clutching about threats to democracy, liberals have enthusiastically overridden the will of the people using the power of the courts at every opportunity and have only turned on the institution because they lost control of it.Conservatives often buy into the lie of popular will instead of focusing on the control of the institutions that shape and control that will, but the dedicated forces of the pro-life movement generated a rare moment of political realism on the right. To the great credit of pro-life activists, they realized that control of the judiciary through the dedicated actions of an organized minority was the key to victory and acted accordingly. Popular education and persuasion were not abandoned, but activists realized that disciplined pressure carefully applied to key actors in the GOP could reliably produce the kind of justices that would advance their interests. While a shift in national abortion law was their main goal, the result was a Supreme Court willing to take on other leftist sacred cows, including affirmative action and the administrative state.Progressives were enthusiastic about the court’s ability to override the will of the majority when popular opinion wasn’t on their side but now they have embraced mob rule. The left has invested heavily in the ability to manipulate mass democracy and would like to see it become the only legitimate authority. The framers of the Constitution heavily restricted the influence of democracy, ensuring that it would only directly select one half of one third of the government. Over time, however, those restrictions have fallen away. Democrats have deployed mass immigration, mass media, and mass public education to ensure that the rising tide of mass democracy worked in their favor.Democrats are now openly attempting to remove every constitutional impediment to mob rule by attacking the disproportional representation meant to protect smaller states in institutions like the Electoral College and the Senate. Due to its domination of consensus manufacturing institutions and access to an endless stream of replacement voters through mass immigration, the left is now all-in on rule by manipulated majority.The upshot? The Supreme Court, once a stalwart ally in the quest to dismantle and remake America, has now become an enemy.Though some “conservative” justices betray the right on a regular basis, the fact that the court seems willing to oppose the progressive revolution at all makes it a sinister villain in the mind of the average journalist.With the wild allegations of secret fascism leveled at Alito, many conservative commentators rushed to explain the true history of a flag that had been flown by America’s founders. While this reaction is understandable, even admirable, those deep roots in the American tradition are what made the flag objectionable to the left in the first place.Progressives hate Alito because he serves as a stumbling block to the eternal revolution. They can and have manufactured a reason to call him a fascist out of thin air. But the fact that the justice holds a clear reverence for American history and identity is further justification for hatred from a progressive movement that seeks to destroy both of those things.While the “Appeal to Heaven” flag is steeped in American history, it is an unavoidable fact that our history is one forged in the fires of rebellion. The “appeal to heaven” comes from John Locke, the founder of classical liberalism from whom our Founding Fathers drew heavily when writing the Declaration of Independence. Locke asserted:Where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment.Thomas Jefferson had that passage in mind when he enumerated the reasons for America’s separation from the bonds tying it to the British government.It is this recognition of a liberty ordered under heaven that progressives would like purged from our American identity. Progressives acknowledge no authority higher than themselves and seek the totalitarian power to reshape not only our nation but mankind itself to fit their horrific vision of utopia. They would have found any excuse to make Samuel Alito an object of derision and hate because he stands in the way of their glorious revolution. But the fact that he would appeal to heaven before appealing to the petty gods of progressivism is a crime against the Total State itself.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge has officially taken on the role of director for the Lara Croft TV series, and Amazon has announced that the show has been greenlit — but fans are not happy. Waller-Bridge recently starred alongside Harrison Ford in "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny," where she played a very feminist character who berated Ford at every turn. “So, is this Amazon iteration of Lara Croft going to be more of the same? Just an obnoxious girl boss who only exists to undercut her male colleagues and costars? We’ll see,” Lauren Chen says, calling her Indiana Jones film “a pretty spectacular failure.” Lara Croft’s Tomb Raider video games have also faced criticism from fans across the globe who believe that each time a new version of the game comes out, Croft gets less attractive. “To those of you who are Tomb Raider fans and are thinking, ‘You know what? Doesn’t matter, I’m just going to ignore the series and play the games because at least those will continue to be good.’ Well, I mean, I wouldn’t be so sure,” Chen says. “As people have pointed out, it seems like there is actually an effort being made to make Lara Croft uglier and uglier, because of course due to feminism, as women now we are supposed to be offended by attractive women for some reason.” Not only have video games across the board been catering more to woke ideology, but Croft especially has formerly represented the “pinnacle” of female attractiveness in video games. “As we saw with gamer gate and more recently the whole Sweet Baby Inc. debacle, the gaming industry is by no means safe from wokeness either,” Chen says. And it’s not just Croft’s attractiveness that’s been under attack but also her character. The game Tomb Raider: Shadows of Truth gained negative attention as creators claimed they were transitioning Croft from “a raider of tombs to a seeker of truth” in order to escape the game's “colonial past.” “I’m not even kidding, this is a real thing,” Chen says.

A Massachusetts theater has apologized after fans complained online about an event with actor Richard Dreyfuss where he allegedly made several political and cultural statements that some audience members disagreed with.The event was called "An Evening with Richard Dreyfuss and Jaws Screening" and took place at the Cabot theater in Beverly, Massachusetts. The screening saw Dreyfuss talk about his book, past projects, and allegedly even the "Me Too" movement and transgenderism.Outlets like Deadline and the Hollywood Reporter cited a series of Facebook comments by alleged audience members, but no actual quotes from Dreyfuss at the event that could be considered "transphobic" or "sexist."What can be confirmed, however, is that Dreyfuss came on stage to a song by Taylor Swift, while sporting a cane and a dress. Two stagehands are seen in a video then ripping the dress off of the actor before he put on a blazer and sat down.'We have to make sure that your kids are not the last generation of Americans.'According to social media accounts, Dreyfuss spoke about Barbra Streisand (who produced his film "Nuts"), and while he called her a "genius," also noted that the reason the movie "sucked" was because women are "passive."Another alleged attendee said that the actor commented that people "shouldn't be listening to some 10-year-old who says they want to be a boy instead of a girl."His remarks were characterized as consistently and purposefully looking to push the envelope, but recollections of his comments do not come close to any form of bigotry, save for in the mind of progressive activists.Some remarks that were caught on video from the Q&A portion of the event came while Dreyfuss was promoting his 2022 book, "One Thought Scares Me." "Fifty years ago, without telling anybody, they took civics out of the curriculum at public schools in America. We have no knowledge of who the hell we are, and if we don't get it back soon, we're all gonna die," Dreyfuss said. "We have to make sure that your kids are not the last generation of Americans, and you know exactly what I'm talking about."The theater issued an apology following the event and said that it was aware of and shares "serious concerns.""The views expressed by Mr. Dreyfuss do not reflect the values of inclusivity and respect that we uphold as an organization. We deeply regret the distress that this has caused to many of our patrons," the Cabot theater said."We regret that an event that was meant to be a conversation to celebrate an iconic movie instead became a platform for political views. We take full responsibility for the oversight in not anticipating the direction of the conversation and for the discomfort it caused to many patrons.""We are in active dialogue with our patrons about their experience and are committed to learning from this event how to better enact our mission of entertaining, educating, and inspiring our community," they concluded.Dreyfuss spoke to BlazeTV host Glenn Beck in early 2023 and made similar remarks about the importance of American history."There are people who now think that opposing views are un-American. They don't know that opposing views are entwined and threaded through the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and what we show to the world we believe in," he told Beck."I certainly think that when we allow our kids to tell us what is valuable and what is nurturing, we’re going to the wrong people."Dreyfuss reportedly screened "Jaws" at a different venue in New Hampshire as well. At least one audience member claimed he made offensive remarks at that event, too.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

The New York Times kicked off a smear campaign earlier this month over a neighborly dispute and an American flag at Justice Samuel Alito's house. The attempted character assassination spawned several others, all ostensibly penned with the aim of undermining the credibility of the Supreme Court and shaming Alito into recusing himself from cases in which Democrats and their fellow leftists are politically and emotionally invested. Democratic lawmakers used the false flag reports to great effect, demanding that Alito not only step aside from cases related to former President Donald Trump and the Jan. 6 protests, but that he apologize for supposedly "disrespecting the American flag and sympathizing with right-wing violent insurrectionists." All their chest-beating, hyperbole, and unfounded allegations were for nought — just as their similar efforts were last year — for Justice Alito told Democratic Sens. Richard Durbin (Ill.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.) very politely in a Wednesday letter to pound sand. "A reasonable person who is not motivated by political or ideological considerations or a desire to affect the outcome of Supreme Court cases would conclude that this event does not meet the applicable standard for recusal," wrote Alito. Having previously referenced the disqualification provision in the court's code of conduct, the justice added, "I am therefore duty-bound to reject your recusal request." Rep. Jamie Raskin (R-Md.), certainly motivated by political considerations and keen to affect upcoming SCOTUS decisions, returned to the liberal newspaper where the latest smear campaign against Alito began, writing an Wednesday op-ed entitled, "How to Force Justices Alito and Thomas to Recuse Themselves in the Jan. 6 Cases." Raskin suggested that the Biden Department of Justice can lean on the high court to help Democrats get their way. After recycling the Times' insinuations and characterizing his and other partisans' demands as a "groundswell of appeals," Raskin wrote, "The U.S. Department of Justice — including the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, an appointed U.S. special counsel and the solicitor general, all of whom were involved in different ways in the criminal prosecutions underlying these cases and are opposing Mr. Trump's constitutional and statutory claims — can petition the other seven justices to require Justices Alito and Thomas to recuse themselves not as a matter of grace but as a matter of law." Raskin suggested that the Biden DOJ and Attorney General Merrick Garland can invoke the due process clause of the U.S. Constitution and the "federal statute mandating judicial disqualification for questionable impartiality, 28 U.S.C. Section 455," which requires possibly prejudiced judges to recuse themselves at the start of proceedings. According to Raskin, who was silent in April on the matter of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson's partiality in the Idaho case related to gender, "When the arguments are properly before the court, Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, Ketanji Brown Jackson, Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh and Sonia Sotomayor will have both a constitutional obligation and a statutory obligation to enforce recusal standards." The Democrat further insinuated that the concerns previously manufactured in the pages of the Times amounted to reasonable doubts about Alito's impartiality, which in lesser courts might ordinarily warrant recusal. He then wrapped up his op-ed by likening Supreme Court justices to umpires, noting that an umpire would not be "allowed to call balls and strikes in a World Series game after the umpire’s wife tried to get the official score of a prior game in the series overthrown and canceled out to benefit the losing team" — ostensibly another smear against at least one justice's wife.
