If it weren't for hypocrisy, the left/Democrats would have nothing.
Hypocrisy, they've got plenty of that. They've also got plenty of nothing.

To those calling for Justice Alito's (and Justice Thomas') recusal on January 6th cases because their wives expressed personal political opinions (3 years ago):
Meet the-late Ramona Ripston.
For 38 years, she led the ACLU of Southern California.
She was the wife of the-late Judge Stephen Reinhardt on the Ninth Circuit.
Ramona Ripston filed an amicus brief in the trial court in a same-sex marriage case.
Judge Reinhardt--her husband--heard the appeal.
He faced calls for his recusal.
The left expressed indignation in this 2013 court filing:[/b[
We are long past the day when a wife’s opinions are assumed to be the same as her husband’s, and in which spousal views and activity are categorically imputed to one’s spouse. No authority requires a judge to recuse based alone on the opinions of his or her spouse; only an “outmoded conception of the relationship between spouses” would hold otherwise.

Naturally, crickets--and worse--from leftists today, as it relates to the personal political views of Martha-Ann Alito and Ginni Thomas.
