Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) has called on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign following more reports of his wifes efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Over the last few years, we have become numb to bad acts by powerful actors, but Clarence and Ginni Thomas have participated in one of the worst breaches of trust ever seen in our court system, Pascrell said in a statement Thursday, referring to efforts to keep then-President Donald Trump in power despite his loss to Joe Biden.
And while she was doing all this, her husband, Justice Clarence Thomas, was hearing litigation relating to the 2020 election, Pascrell said, calling Thomas a corrupt jurist who has poisoned the High Court.
Clarence Thomas should have dignity and final respect for our democracy and resign, Pascrell concluded.

(7,901 posts)a Conservative Republican, to a man of his personal abilities and achievements, to a superior human being, to a Supreme Court Justice, nor to someone who has thus far beaten the system.
Another reason he won't is that once he did he would be subject to possible prosecution, a condition he no doubt fears in his heart of hearts.
For those who mistakenly assume he has any sense of honor regarding his position let me assure you in no uncertain terms that he is every bit as arrogant and irrationally disdainful of such a concept as TFG.
