Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin said that U.S. Supreme Court justices could be removed from former President Donald Trump's presidential immunity ruling by petition of the Justice Department.Raskin's theory, written in an op-ed published by The New York Times on Wednesday, follows the recent controversy involving Justice Samuel Alito, who was caught flying two flags outside of his residences that are associated with the 'Stop the Steal' movement and the riots at the U.S.
Section 455, states that 'any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.' Raskin said that the statue, 'if triggered, is not a friendly suggestion. It is Congress's command, binding on the justices, just as the due process clause is.
