Nearly 850,000 people signed a petition demanding that Justice Clarence Thomas be booted from SCOTUS

Nearly 850,000 people signed a petition demanding that Justice Clarence Thomas should be booted from the Supreme Court following Roe v. Wade ruling

Thousands of people have signed a petition to impeach Justice Clarence Thomas.
About 841,016 people have signed the Move On petition as of Saturday.
The calls to remove Thomas were heightened after SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade.'

Hundreds of thousands of people have signed a petition demanding the removal of Justice Clarence Thomas from the Supreme Court following the reversal of Roe v. Wade, The Hill reported.

Last week, the highest court's conservative justices repealed the landmark ruling that legalized abortion across the United States, prompting protests nationwide. Now the petition created by Move On, an advocacy group, has nearly 850,000 signatures calling for Thomas to be impeached.

"The right-wing rigged Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last week, effectively taking away the right to privacy and bodily autonomy that's been considered legal precedent for the past 50 years," the petition said.

I’m sorry, but it’s a pointless statistic.

He’s going nowhere.

I’d even watch a few minutes of the network’s funeral coverage.

Gather all the signatures you can, then double those, no matter. He's a justice for life. He and his fellow smug rightwing tyrants can trample any rights they feel like, secure in their jobs. And then, if there are protests, they can instruct the police to clear the riff-raff from the front of their homes.

“the practice of supporting a political or social cause by means such as social media or online petitions, characterized as involving very little effort or commitment.”

(Oxford English Dictionary)

The power to remove a SC Justice rests with the Congress. Who among the “petitioners” has bothered to contact their elected officials and told them IN THEIR OWN WORDS why this should happen?

There could be 67 million signatures on a petition, but unless you have 67 senators voting to convict, he's going to stay there.
