00:00 Questions?
00:02 [inaudible]
00:17 Totally inappropriate. Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas are totally out of control.
00:24 These individuals continue to detonate the credibility of the United States Supreme Court.
00:35 In the case of Samuel Alito, he definitively needs to recuse himself from any matter pending before the United States Supreme Court
00:49 that has to do with the January 6th violent insurrection.
00:55 He should have no part of it.
00:58 Part of the problem that we confront is that the Supreme Court has chosen to conduct itself as if the judiciary is above the law.
01:11 In America, no one is above the law.
01:14 That includes the Supreme Court, that includes Samuel Alito, and that includes Clarence Thomas.
01:22 If the Supreme Court does not get its act under control,
01:30 you can be confident that Democrats in the House of Representatives,
01:35 partnering with Democrats in the United States Senate, will act.
01:44 The first opportunity we have to engage in thorough oversight
01:50 and the consideration of imposing an ethical code of conduct on Supreme Court justices.
