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 Trumps chief of staff to do more to overturn his loss to Joe Biden.
Thomas already participated in the Supreme Courts decision this year to let some of Trumps 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 its 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 Bidens 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.

Its really discouraging.
At this rate we wont have a functioning Democracy much longer. Theyve stacked the courts and look at the ridiculous bills being put up in red states. I wouldnt be surprised if one making it illegal to be a Democrat was passed.
Glad Im old, thats all I can say.

(11,208 posts)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.
