BY DOMINICK MASTRANGELO - 03/27/22 11:12 AM EDT  Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) is arguing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from any case regarding the 2020 election after text messages sent by his wife to aides of former President Trump were revealed late last week. 

"You have the wife of a sitting Supreme Court justice advocating for an insurrection, advocating for overturning a legal election to the sitting president's chief of staff and she also knows this election, these cases, are going to come before her husband. This is a textbook case for removing him, recusing him from these decisions," Klobuchar said Sunday on ABC's "This Week."

"All I hear is silence from the Supreme Court right now and that better change in the coming week because every other federal judge in the country except Supreme Court justices would have a guidance from ethics rules that says you got to recuse himself."
