Ginni Thomas's Pro-Trump Texts Put Husband's Court Role in Focus

(Bloomberg) -- Justice Clarence Thomas is facing calls to recuse himself from U.S. Supreme Court cases involving the 2020 presidential election after revelations that his wife repeatedly pushed former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff to do more to overturn his loss to Joe Biden.

Thomas already participated in the Supreme Court’s decision this year to let some of Trump’s papers be turned over to a congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Thomas was the lone dissenter from that order, giving no explanation.

“I think it’s a big problem,” said Stephen Gillers, a judicial ethics scholar who teaches at New York University Law School. “Justice Thomas should have recused himself from any case that concerned, and any that hereafter concerns, the validity of the election, the work of the Jan. 6 commission, or the Capitol invasion.”

The Washington Post reported Thursday that Ginni Thomas, a political activist, was in close contact with Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows in the weeks following the 2020 election, promoting conspiracy theories about Joe Biden’s victory. “The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History,” she texted on Nov. 10, the Post reported, citing documents Meadows turned over to the committee.

2. What's the big deal, nothing happens to anyone. Will she be subpoenaed? If not why bother with

anything? Has DOJ indicted anyone for not showing up? What a bunch of bullshit, why should we care, DOJ doesn't?

3. I agree.

Nothing of any consequence has happened to any of the RW actors which simply encourages more of the same and we’re sure getting it.

It’s really discouraging.

At this rate we won’t have a functioning Democracy much longer. They’ve stacked the courts and look at the ridiculous bills being put up in red states. I wouldn’t be surprised if one making it illegal to be a Democrat was passed.

Glad I’m old, that’s all I can say.

4. I just said the same thing to my friend, if they let Trump go and he gets reelected we deserve all

we get. I've been fighting this bullshit for over 50 years, fuck it. Maybe there is a deep state, DOJ, the Federalist Society, the Republican Party and we're just fools for thinking anything matters. I'm pretty sick of it all.
