Is anyone calling for the resignation of Clarence Thomas?

Because we need to be doing that, too.

Any Democratic (or Independent) rep who called for Franken's resignation needs to be calling out Thomas.

No exceptions. If there is zero tolerance, it needs to be extended to the courts as well.

Edited to add: I know he won't resign, but his ugly past can be introduced to a new generation.

But if a recall of Clarence Thomas was successful, there would be another vacancy in SCOTUS for the demented & clearly compromised PINO trump to fill

Not that I'm excusing Wiener. His misbehavior (sending dick pics) was far worse than anything Franken's been accused of.

10. Why? So they can appoint a very young Clarence Thomas clone?

Let him go out naturally...We may have a different Senate and president by then.

12. Yes. That awareness should be his legacy.

That a rather despicable man, so appallingly inadequate by every criterion, could be given a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.
