[🇺🇸 Mike Davis 🇺🇸 @mrddmia]

To those calling for Justice Alito's (and Justice Thomas') recusal on January 6th cases because their wives expressed personal political opinions (3 years ago):

Meet the-late Ramona Ripston.

For 38 years, she led the ACLU of Southern California.

She was the wife of the-late Judge Stephen Reinhardt on the Ninth Circuit.

Ramona Ripston filed an amicus brief in the trial court in a same-sex marriage case.

Judge Reinhardt--her husband--heard the appeal.

He faced calls for his recusal.

The left expressed indignation in this 2013 court filing:

We are long past the day when a wife’s opinions are assumed to be the same as her husband’s, and in which spousal views and activity are categorically imputed to one’s spouse. No authority requires a judge to recuse based alone on the opinions of his or her spouse; only an “outmoded conception of the relationship between spouses” would hold otherwise.

Naturally, crickets--and worse--from leftists today, as it relates to the personal political views of Martha-Ann Alito and Ginni Thomas.

@SenWarren Is there something he seeks in return for relenting his hold on the nominations?

@ABC Significant if verifiable, logic seems attenuated at best. However, if ABCs contention in this post is accurate, does that mean the antidote would be the enforcement of existing immigration laws by the current administration?

@RepLeeZeldin let's check the logic here: Masks and vaccine mandates helped bring down the omicron surge but did nothing to stop it from happening?

Joe Biden condemned a riot? What now?

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

President-elect Joe Biden condemned violent rioters who broke into the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, calling it an "unprecedented assault" on democracy https://t.co/7Xeg726HeU

Thank goodness, I'm glad that's settled!

democracy is rough and tumble. You can handle it Andy, buck up!

This debate is a much easier watch than the last one, but still not easy.

[r j salvato @rjsalvato]

Joe is confused, he doesn't know, or want to admit his platform is antagonistic to private health insurance,cracking ernergy independence....

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

He’s a confused guy. He doesn’t know who he’s running against. He’s running against Joe Biden.

[r j salvato @rjsalvato]

This mandate fairly disqualifies both major party candidates for president.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

We need a president who will unite our country and bring out our best — not one who stokes division and brings out our worst.

A quick review of American history over the last hundred years or so would seem to indicate that America has been about the possibilities of prosperity for all with greater success than any other nation on the planet.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

America has to be about the possibilities of prosperity.

Not just for the privileged few. But for the many — for all of us.

Translation: if you do not go along with one party and resist unconstitutional activities, you are no good. This from a man who is was charge of the most powerful intelligence agency in the world.

Hard to think of a member of Congress more deserving of defeat than the unprincipled Devin Nunes....except maybe Senators Graham & McConnell & all the other party quislings who have allowed Donald Trump to kidnap & destroy the GOP. #DevinWontDebate

Constitutional change, if that's what you seek, should not come from two and four year election for cycles.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

When we vote, things change.
