Jane Mayer: "Legal Scholars are Shocked by Ginni Thomas's 'Stop the Steal' Texts"

I thought this was a great article on why Clarence Thomas must recuse himself from ANY case before the Supreme Court involving the Jan6 Insurrection, the Jan6 investigation, or any case involving TFG!

“she actively insinuated herself in the events through her texts to Meadows, and perhaps more extensively.” Gillers continued, “That’s enough to require her husband to abstain from participation in any case in which her actions might be further revealed.” Justice Thomas, he said, clearly “has an understandable interest in protecting” his wife. For that reason alone, Gillers explained, “his impartiality might reasonably be questioned, which the law says requires recusal.” More broadly, Gillers argued, “Ginni became part of the team seeking to overturn the election. That team expressly identified, as a critical part of its strategy, appeals to the Supreme Court, and therefore to Clarence.” He added, “Ginni chose to make herself part of the story that the Trump side, her side, would then ask the Court, including her husband, to interpret in its favor.”
