If you had to do a formal QnA for your work, what reason would work have to ask your spouse any damn thing in absentia of 100% proof that he were involved?

Again, I take your point, but in addition to such things as Due Process and Right to Privacy, the Supremes are pretty much allowed legally to decide for themselves, which crimes they can commit, and which ones are..shall we say, OPTIONAL, when it comes to any real oversight?

If you wanna make a case against Thomas, you're gonna need IRONCLAD PROOF,...BEFORE you drag his ass in front of Congress to testify, is all I'm sayin...

No, it's the fair. It IS, what is tho...

My guess is that he knew she sent the texts. Maybe they discussed what her texts should say.

After all, it would be unprecedented for a sitting Supreme Court Justice to be an accessory to insurrection. Justice Thomas should volunteer to appear before the committee, no subpoena necessary.

Unless . . .

The fact is this: the sitting president, several members of congress and a sitting supreme court justice tried to stage a coup.

At minimum they should all lose their seats and be bared from future elections and appointments.

There should be some that have cooperated that received texts from her. I doubt she left it all up to Meadows.

He can't possibly be more inanimate than he's been on the bench for 30 years. (These half dead Clarence Thomas jokes just write themselves by the way.)
