Former President Trump's ballot battle continues to captivate the nation as Colorado and Maine have disqualified him from participating based on the Constitution's alleged insurrection clause. It is important to note that Trump has neither been convicted nor charged with any offense related to this clause. In light of these developments, concerns have risen regarding whether conservative justices should recuse themselves from the Trump ballot battle.
Congressman Jamie Raskin has argued that justices with spouses involved in the so-called big lie, claiming Trump's victory in the 2020 presidential election, should recuse themselves from the case. He opined that they should not participate, given their personal connections to the events leading up to the January 6th incident. However, this argument has garnered criticism from those who view it as a challenge to accepting the outcome of the 2016 election.
