Enough shocking stories about Ginni Thomas. It's time for some action

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The biggest threat to the legitimacy of the United States Supreme Court is not its potential expansion, nor even what seems to be a likely reversal of Roe v. Wade in what would be a devastating scaling-back of women's rights.

It's Ginni and Clarence Thomas.

Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, who is married to Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, has become an increasingly visible and increasingly radical far-right activist at the same time that her husband has pushed Supreme Court jurisprudence far to the right. Clarence Thomas has crossed a whole series of ethical lines related to his wife's work, and it's far past time for Congress to act. We need a basic ethics law that sets out transparency rules for organizations that file amicus briefs to the Supreme Court, and standards for recusal among Supreme Court justices.

Ginni Thomas works directly with organizations that are taking cases to the Supreme Court -- cases that will be heard and decided by her husband. In a groundbreaking story published earlier this year, the New Yorker's Jane Mayer detailed the many ways in which Thomas is heavily involved with a number of cases heading to or already heard before the Supreme Court. She is tied to groups that have written amicus briefs supporting the conservative side of Supreme Court cases on everything from immigration to abortion rights to affirmative action. In some cases, she serves on a group's advisory board. In others, her consulting group has been paid by the same people whose names appear on amicus briefs filed with the Court. And in others, partners in one of her advocacy organizations have petitioned the Court or filed amicus briefs before it on a variety of matters.

1. It's been known for years

Just because it's making headlines now, is really troubling. They can do whatever they want in the court they have a majority and can run us into the ground. The federalists dream come true.

2. Anthony Weiner was posed to go after them before he got caught up in his own mess

Ah what could've been.

3. Every time you type Ginni Thomas, link her name to my page on her on RW-Infopedia

Never forget: She attacked school shooting survivors.

Remember, that's Ginni Thomas.

4. This will not happen anytime soon:

We need a basic ethics law that sets out transparency rules for organizations that file amicus briefs to the Supreme Court, and standards for recusal among Supreme Court justices.
