Clarence and Ginni Thomas’s hard-right ideology is bad enough. But to impose that vision on American democracy while openly flouting its rules shows contempt for the political system they claim to be saving, writes Michael Tomasky. >

What's even worse is that we see this obvious conflict of interest, where Clarence doesn't even recuse himself from cases directly involving Ginny.. if they can't be trusted to do the bare minimum to avoid appearance of impropriety, how can we trust them to make decisions that would uphold democracy? >

Clarence Thomas needs to be removed immediately from the supreme Court justices. >

His wife was involved in planning and organizing of coup attempt >

She should be tried for treason. >

Look up treason in the US code.  Ginni Thomas isn't guilty of treason by any stretch, but she's certainly guilty of many of the charges Trump was referred on. >

And proving that no government position in a democracy should ever have a lifetime appointment >

It only made sense when we had few people even qualified to hold those positions back in the ye'old days. >

That's not the reason.  The reason is the theory of consistency of the judiciary and attempting to remove politics of the moment from the court of last resort.  It is a very flawed system, but it's the best we could come up with. >

Can these old people that a screwing up America just die already? >

Meanwhile: Steven Miller rubs hands in anticipation of his chance… >

Clarence "Your pubes in my Diet Coke" Thomas has been on a 43 year long revenge tour with the stated goal of making liberals lives miserable since he was first accused of sexual misconduct. >

Isn't Clarence Thomas like... really into porn? >

These are supposed to be educated people? Reading those texts… oof Ginni got brain worms. Jesus. >

Being educated is great but it won't make you immune to being a gullible hateful idiot. >

And they'll continue to live on their miserable life as a traitors. It sucks that it's impossible to impeach this guy or charge them. >

Jack Smith, please… >

What a joke of a country we live in >

Let's hope that Jack Smith grasps this particular nettle. >

Can these old people that a screwing up America just die already?  Covid really missed a few old miserable politicians and it’s sad. >

It’s crazy that this shit is happening right out in the open for everyone to see, yet nothing is done about it. This is how countries fall. >

I can’t believe you can trash any on the right where Biden/Harris are worst we have ever had. >

I’m so sick of these people getting away with committing crimes and being corrupt without being held accountable for any of it. >

Heads will roll as the French say >

Clarence Thomas needs to be removed immediately from the supreme Court justices. He is a failure, traitor and a very sad little man. >

Wow , calling ur country a joke. Go to any other country, please. >

I said nothing about our Country, let me guess, a Trump sheep >

Couple of heart attacks waiting to happen. Overweight folks rarely make it far into their seventies. >

Unlucky for us these shitbags will just keep on living. >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 87%. (I'm a bot)


Clarence Thomas, now concluding his thirty-first year as an associate justice of the Supreme Court, has spent years flouting the ethics rules to which all federal judges except Supreme Court justices must adhere.
Ginni Thomas has spent those same years in the thick of the right-wing infrastructure that has pushed cause after cause after cause-many of which have eventually made their way to the Supreme Court.
The month after Mayer's report, The New York Times Magazine's Danny Hakim and Jo Becker weighed in with another devastating report on the Thomases, describing "The extent to which Justice Thomas flouted judicial-ethics guidance by participating in events hosted by conservative organizations with matters before the court." They continued: "Those organizations showered the couple with accolades and, in at least one case, used their appearances to attract event fees, donations and new members." Thomas has at least twice headlined events of Schlafly's Eagle Forum.

Nancy and Paul have to be up there. Mitch and Elaine chao as well. Both sides are corrupt and mostly just fake opposition for political theatre to make us think there’s still a balance between two parties.
