Article subtitle that wouldn’t fit in the post title:
>Lawmakers pointed to reports that Chief Justice John Roberts had replaced Alito as the author of an opinion on a case involving a Capitol riot defendant as he faced scrutiny over the “Stop the Steal” flag-flying controversy.
Article isn’t paywalled, Courthouse News is good, go Read the article if interested in the premise.

And I demand answers in Clarence Thomas’ non-removal from a case that involves his wife as a primary proponent of Jan. 6

Is this the most corrupt, anti-American Supreme Court in US history? We all know how awful Taney was over decisions like Dredd Scott, but this court just seems so blatantly treasonous.

Let’s remove him from the opinion because it’s politically damaging to us but let’s not force him to recuse.
Come on Roberts. This either demonstrates you are a political hack and all decisions under your court need to be reviewed or that the current ethics ‘guidelines’ that the Supreme Court has in place are woefully insufficient.

Make no mistake, Roberts is just as conceited & arrogant as Alito, Thomas, & Kavanaugh. They firmly believe in self-oversight with NO outside interference.
They essentially believe the court answers to no one, and if a case comes up that they don’t want to deal with, they can simply refuse to hear it without commenting.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.courthousenews.com/democrats-demand-answers-on-alitos-removal-from-supreme-court-jan-6-opinion/) reduced by 81%. (I’m a bot)

> WASHINGTON – House Democrats on Friday pressured Chief Justice John Roberts to weigh in on reports that he had removed Justice Samuel Alito as the lead opinion author for a Supreme Court case involving the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, and questioned why the jurist was allowed to participate in the ruling at all.
> In a letter to the high court's chief, Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin and New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took issue with Roberts' apparent decision to replace Alito on the majority opinion for the case Fischer v. United States, calling it a "Half measure" in the face of swirling questions about the justice's impartiality.
> In the Senate, Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse's Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal and Transparency Act would force the high court to adopt an enforceable ethics code and would establish an independent review board for ethics complaints against the justices.

Can’t Biden sign an executive order to exile Alito and take his citizenship away?
Congressional hearing on Opus Dei. Let’s see the member list.
(Apparently that’s Alito’s schtick.)
