Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin issued a sternly worded statement Thursday calling on Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to recuse himself from cases involving the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 insurrection. The New York Times reported that an upside-down American flag was seen flying at his home for several days following the attack on the Capitol.
This follows a similar call from Durbin for Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself on these issues, and it will probably be heeded by Alito as much as it was by Thomas: not at all.
Enough talk, Mr. Durbin. It’s time to do something.
