Doubting Clarence, and Ginni Thomas: Her hard-right activism and his hand-waving insouciance have now damaged SCOTUS.
Ginni Thomas was feeding Trump misinformation about the validity of the 2020 election and was a key player in his efforts to overturn the election results and some Republicans are defending that behavior?
A Washington Post and CBS News story shows that Ginni Thomas, who has become a far-right activist and the wife of SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas—personally pressured Trump's White House chief of staff to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The Washington Post and CBS News show that Ginni Thomas—a far-right activist and the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas pressured Trump's White House chief of staff to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
During a series of text messages, Thomas tells Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows that "Biden and the Left are attempting the greatest Heist of our History" and repeatedly encourages Meadows to push false claims of voter fraud and pressures him to prevent the election from being certified.
Despite his wife's active role in Trump's attempted coup, Justice Thomas failed to recuse himself in a case regarding the release of records related to January 6 and, in an 8-1 ruling, was the sole justice who refused to release White House records hidden—including the texts that involved his wife.
Clarence Thomas has once again abused his power—the latest in a long line of morally objectionable and inappropriate actions throughout his career—and he must immediately be removed from the court.
In the texts between Thomas and Meadows, Thomas repeatedly parroted right-wing conspiracy theories about the election, urged Trump not to concede by saying that "it takes time for the army who is gathering" in support of him, and mentioned having conversations with her "best friend" about their belief in the claims of election fraud. Thomas and her husband have publicly referred to each other as their best friends.
Rightfully, the congressional committee investigating the January 6 insurrection is seeking to question Ginni Thomas regarding her role in the effort to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.
Clarence Thomas can be held accountable also. He and his wife have long maintained close involvement with right-wing organizations and activities, some of whom have brought business before the court in cases in which Thomas has ruled—and it's clear Thomas has no interest in even the appearance of impartiality.

Despite his wife's active role in Trump's attempted white supremacist coup, Justice Thomas failed to recuse himself in a case regarding the release of records related to January 6 and, in an 8-1 ruling, was the sole justice who voted to keep the White House records hidden—including the texts that involved his wife.

Now, it's time for Clarence Thomas to be held to account too. He and his wife have long maintained close involvement with right-wing organizations and activities, some of whom have brought business before the court in cases in which Thomas has ruled—and it's clear Thomas has no interest in even the appearance of impartiality.
There are too many matters that come before the US Supreme court, up to and including the condition of our democracy, and the Supreme Court’s reputation.
The Bottomless Corruption of Ginni and Clarence Thomas. She helped push the Big Lie. He might preside over cases related to January 6. And we’ve not yet plumbed the depths of their venality. https://newrepublic.com/article/165866/january-6-ginni-clarence-thomas

#AOC Calls For Justice Clarence Thomas To Resign—Or Be Impeached—As More Democrats Demand Consequences For Wife’s Texts https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2022/03/29/aoc-calls-for-just…
Only one Supreme Court justice has ever been impeached—Samuel Chase in 1804—and none have ever been convicted. As with presidents, justices can be impeached and removed from office by Congress: the House would first vote to impeach, and then two-thirds of senators would have to vote to convict. The US House of Representatives passed eight articles of impeachment, all centering on Chase's alleged political bias. The Senate voted to acquit Chase on all counts, and Chase served on the Supreme Court until his death in 1811.
Americans who suggest impeaching Clarence Thomas are wasting their time because GOP Senator #MitchMcConnell refuses to convict so just slide the Constitution into the shredder. or vote blue. The USA can not allow the Republicans to become the arbiters of Constitutional duty. Register to vote and elect blue candidates.
Ginni Thomas told Mark Meadows to throw out the rule book, regarding the war waged on the peaceful transition of power to the incoming president, a war several of whose battles came before her spouse, Justice Clarence Thomas rules in future cases.
