in front of the supreme court -- two senators, dick durbin and richard blumenthal have called for the supreme court justice, clarence thomas, to recuse himself because of the actions of his wife, ginni thomas, who for lack of a better way to explain it, pushed to overturn the 2020 election results that were very much legal and right. how do you see this playing out? do you see him recusing himself? how would this work? >> i'm going to go with no on that. he hasn't before including when there were matters before the court in which his wife arguably was involved. and he failed to recuse himself there. the supreme court is basically a self-policing institution. so it really is his own say-so. will he recuse himself or not. we've seen in the past that he hasn't. i would imagine that past is precedent here, and that he's unlikely to do so now even though we know a lot more about his wife's activities involving january 6th and surrounding that date. so it will be his decision, but it seems unlikely, i'd say, based on previous decisions he's made. >> yeah. that's all we can base it on is an educated guess. thank you so much for a
