The trial is rigged, according to Trump and his GOP admirers. Justice Merchan is biased against him, because he and his daughters have some ties to the Democratic Party. He should be required to recuse himself.
But when Justice Thomas refuses to recuse himself on January 6 cases in spite of his wife’s activism in favor of Trump, and when Justice Alito flies flags supporting the insurrectionists, do they have a problem with that? No, indeed. Complaining about the behavior of reactionary judges is an attack on the rule of law.
