Watchdogs say if Clarence Thomas won't resign, 'Congress must move to impeach' (unknown)

Fresh calls for the Supreme Court justice's removal came amid "damning" new evidence of his wife's involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential ...

“There is a clear value in holding impeachment hearings to draw attention to Thomas and his wife and their inappropriate behavior, especially as an increasingly partisan, conservative-majority court guts voting and reproductive rights,” Hasan wrote. “CNP Action, behind closed doors, connects wealthy donors with some of the most radical right-wing figures in America. Ginni Thomas has also been on the advisory board of Turning Point USA, a pro-Trump student group, whose founder, Charlie Kirk, boasted of sending busloads of protesters to Washington on January 6th.” At least one member of Congress, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), echoed the call for Thomas’ impeachment. “If he refuses, Congress must move to impeach him,” she added. One text was sent on Jan. 10, 2021 in the wake of the Capitol insurrection.

That certainly applies to Clarence Thomas. The cloud he’s cast over the court is as ominous as any in memory. “Both have crossed a line and deserve no benefit of the doubt,” Gillers said. The Washington Post and CBS News on Thursday evening reported on 21 post-election text messages that Ginni Thomas wrote to Mark Meadows, Trump’s White House chief of staff. When Justice Sonia Sotomayor publicly warned four months ago of a partisan stench at the court, she was specifically referring to the conservative majority’s tacit support for Republican-led states’ laws that plainly violate decades of the court’s abortion rights precedents. And Americans now view the court less positively than at any time in many years. Her husband, the Supreme Court justice, has been implicated only by the questions her politicking has raised generally about his impartiality in politically tinged cases before the court.
