About the hearing...
Maybe you're not hearing what I'm hearing about the hearing... for those few, it doesn't matter how much evidence is presented to you now... does it?The October 13th 2022 hearing brought about new facts about the January 6th insurrection. Pleading the 5th came from several Trump allies who refuse to testify and now the focus is on Trump.

John, did you see the 10-13-2022 hearing?
The (ultra-conservative) wife of a supreme court justice Clarence Thomas... do you think her opinion on matters can cloud his ability to render some unbiased decisions?

The point is that he should have recused himself to avoid undermining any legal procedings for, or against Trump.
The fact that he hasn't as yet undermines not only his personal integrity, but the integrity of institution that he represents.
The question for me is whether it's already too late to recuse himself and end his marriage, or whether he needs to resign in the best interests of the nation.
She has been implicated in the events of January 6th, Trump publicly praised her recently at a rally and she has signed a letter to House Republicans calling for the expulsion of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for joininng the January 6th Committee.
At the same time, Trump appealed to the Supreme Court regarding the Mar a Lago documents case which went directly to Ginni Thomas's husband because Clarence Thomas has jurisdiction over the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals which issued the ruling that Trump appealed.
This means there is a conflict of interest for Clarence Thomas, that things going on with his wife could effect his decision making processes where Trump is concerned. Regardless of whether Trump did anythng wrong, or not, he is entitled to be fairly heard by the justice system and that can't be guaranteed if there is a conflict of interest.
It's the fact that Clarence Thomas didn't recuse himself, didn't say, "I can't make a judgement about Trump's appeal because it would be unfair to him under the circumstances" undermines the integrity of the justice system.
