Sign a letter asking Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from United States v. Trump

Lawyers Defending American Democracy has invited readers of this newsletter to sign onto a letter calling on Justice Thomas to recuse himself from US v. Trump. I have signed the letter.

As our letter sets forth in detail, Justice Thomas’ spouse, Virginia, has an extensive and well-documented involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and obstruct certification of the electoral vote. Efforts to overturn that election are at the heart of criminal charges against the former president.  If the Supreme Court decides that presidential immunity applies to all of the former president’s actions, Virginia Thomas escapes the potential scrutiny that could emerge in a trial against Mr. Trump. Under the Court’s own Code of Conduct, disqualification is warranted where Justices know that they, or their spouse, have an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of a proceeding. The only correct action under the Code is for Justice Thomas to recuse himself on April 25. If he will not, then the Chief Justice should exercise his leadership and intervene.  We are asking you to please join LDAD’s efforts to prevent this from happening by signing our letter to Chief Justice Roberts today.

Giro d'Italia : stage 3

Giro d’Italia : stage 3

J. Caicedo, membre de l’échappée matinale, a lâché tous ses compagnons de fugue dans la montée finale et il a remporté la troisième étape du Giro d’Italia au sommet de l’Etna.

Ben a limité les dégâts après avoir passé une grosse journée dans l’échappéé hier. Il a passé la ligne d’arrivée avec un retard de 12’19” en 75e position ensemble avec G.Thomas, un des favoris du Giro qui avait chuté.

Que d’émotions pour Ben lors du passage du Tour de France à Schifflange.

La formation AG2R LA MONDIALE a vécu un moment de frayeur pas loin de Schifflange, quand R.Bardet avait un problème mécanique. Mais grâce à Ben et ses équipiers tout est rentré dans l’ordre et Ben a pu apprécier la réception chaleureuse des Schifflangeois.

Ce soir à l’hotel Ben s’est exclamé :

 GRAND MERCI à SCHIFFLANGE pour la réception chaleureuse et l’encouragement

  P.Sagan a remporté la victoire et Ben a terminé à la 93. place à 1’49.

Au classement général G.Thomas reste le leader et Ben est 97. à 3′

Dans le final le Team Sky a accéléré et malgré plusieurs attaques, G.Thomas a réussi à se détacher pour remporter la deuxième étape de Tirrenno-Adriatico. Dès le départ Ben ne se sentait pas trop bien. Il s’est pourtant accroché jusque dans l’avant dernière montée où…
