Description: As more information becomes public about Ginni Thomas’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, there is increasing pressure on her husband, Justice Clarence Thomas, to recuse himself from election-related cases. But what are the rules around recusal for Supreme Court justices? And who can enforce them? Preet speaks with Kathleen Clark, an expert in legal ethics and a professor at Washington University in St. Louis School of Law, about whether Justice Thomas should recuse — and the likelihood that he will.  Stay Tuned in Brief is presented by CAFE and the Vox Media Podcast Network.
