This is the slap in the face we should be focusing on right now.

A growing number of Democrats are calling on Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from 2020 election-related cases, after text messages revealed his wife, Ginni Thomas, supported overturning the results.

28 USC 455: "Any justice, judge or magistrate of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceedings which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned." It's no longer 'might' but rather Justice Thomas' impartiality 'is' being questioned. Thomas must recuse himself.

Maybe take to the streets. Recuse isn't enough, he needs to go.

destruction of democracy to Chief of Staff…while husband votes to hide all evidence of that urging???

And recusal from election related cases is utterly insufficient…immediate resignation cause this is staining the institution beyond all hope of a clean up on Aisle 9. What happened to that quaint notion of honour and protection of the public perception integrity of the institution that forced a certain honourable Senator from Minnesota to resign to preserve the overall honour of another institution…not hat it mattered subsequently. Wasn’t Klobacher on the front line demanding Résignation then??

Only applies to Democrats…what m I thinking….slap to head!

Correct he demand…find some goddamn backbone, supporters of democracy,

…really wtf? Recusal, limited??

When the Tea Party became a thing she suggested to college President she could do more as an employee and work inside D.C. to further their goals. That is pretty much the ballgame.
