Ginni is busier than we know. Long New Yorker article with lots of info.
The claim that the Justices opinions are politically neutral is becoming increasingly hard to accept, especially from Thomas, whose wife, Virginia (Ginni) Thomas, is a vocal right-wing activist. She has declared that America is in existential danger because of the deep state and the fascist left, which includes transsexual fascists. Thomas, a lawyer who runs a small political-lobbying firm, Liberty Consulting, has become a prominent member of various hard-line groups.
...
In 2019, she announced a political project called Crowdsourcers, and said that one of her four partners would be the founder of Project Veritas, James OKeefe.
...
That year, Thomas also gave a prize to Mark Meadows, then a hard-line Republican in Congress, describing him as the leader in the House right now that we were waiting for. Meadows, in accepting the award, said, Ginni was talking about how we team up, and we actually have teamed up. And Im going to give you something you wont hear anywhere elsewe worked through the first five days of the impeachment hearings.
...
Soon after Ginni Thomas gave Mark Meadows an Impact Award, he became Trumps chief of staff.

(7,265 posts)due to a potentially exposure of financial impropriety, and informed TFG of his decision to retire. so that TFG could appoint Kavanaugh.
Am I misremembering events as it unfolded? I'm writing this without checking to refresh details. It sort of seems like TFG wouldn't be concerned about financial improprieties. That would have been no effin big deal to him. Might be I don't have this right.

(4,094 posts)Remember that little exchange between the marmalade shart stain and Kennedy
just before announcing his retirement. I'd be ok if they made a quiet agreement
that his retirement would keep Ginny out of trouble and the entire mess goes away.

(68,352 posts)means to do this is through impeachment, and we don't and will likely never have 66 votes. The rules for Scotus and the Presidency were made with the belief that people of character would become presidents and judges.

(6,703 posts)For decades, Clarence has been on the front lines of "conservatism", torturing America from his perch on the high court. His marriage with such a creature is straight out of Marvel Comic villainy.
