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. >

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.

Despicable couple! >

Listening to the behind the bastards ep on him was mind blowing as to how sociopathic and just downright weird this dude is. Should be nowhere near a Supreme Court seat. >

Liberals hate it when you destroy America. >

Should not be exclusive to liberals and moderates, yet it is. >

Serious question:  Is there anything that can actually be done about this? >

Elected a supermajority of progressives in both the House and Senate so they can impeach. Otherwise, no >

It's so hard to determine the true winner out of the current field of scoundrels. >

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. >

I’d like to see them in matching handcuffs >

I will always remember him for his confirmation hearings the testimony about him, saying there was “a pubic hair on my Coke” >

Remember when Anita Hill tried to warn us about this scumbag and nobody in the senate cared?

She’s not a right wing activist. She’s a fucking traitor to the country. Get it right. >

Call them what they are. Traitors. >

There is nothing stopping the arrest and prosecution of Ginni, do it. >

Someone should bring a suit challenging interracial marriage and use his own arguments to prove the case. 
Actually no, I’m worried it would pass…. >

I feel Thomas breaks the law, has no ethics.  Therefore, he should lose his license to practice law.  Be disbarred, like Guiliani.  Which means he'll need to step down as he'd not be able to be a judge if he loses his law license.
Am I correct on this? >

Great man and wonder wife. The racist Left can’t stand to see a black man succeed whom they can’t control. >

It will be a nice day in this country when that piece of shit Thomas kicks the ghost. >

Out in the open >

This is one of the systemic flaws that has come to light. If your highest judges are political appointees and you only have two political parties, then this risk is part of the system. >

Both of them shockingly ugly too. Look at that face on her >

They’re getting old and slowly dying. So they are going to f- things up on their way out, because they’re not happy that they will be dead soon. You know the, boomer’s way of life. >

They probably will frame this magazine cover and put it on their wall. They don’t give a shit. >

These two, like Donnie, could murder someone and they'd walk away from it without police so much as doing a thing. They're trying to overthrow the government, and nothing happens to them...  I'm done believing in justice in America. >

And apparently will continue to get away with it, because apparently, the United States never expected main components of the federal government to try and destroy America. >

Yes they did actually. The problem is there’s a culture of protection of political elites widespread across government and the intelligence agencies. No one is facing any punishment for the fabricated Russia collusion story with the Steele dossier, at worst they are retired with fat retirement benefits, usually they just sweep it under the rug and wait for people to forget. >


Yes they did actually.

Then why is there no provision for dealing with a treasonous president coupled with a treasonous congress and a treasonous supreme court?
Or does "balance of power" mean something else in today's language?
There is NO way they saw this coming even though they emplaced strategies to deal with one or the other... not ALL at once. >


fabricated Russian collusion

Ya know, that thing that was proven to actually happen? Yeah, can’t expect someone like that to argue in good faith. Just pushing more authoritarian propaganda. Don’t waste your digital breath. >

O_o ^^^.....? >

It should be jail time for these seditionists. >

he’s the kind of person who denies the parties switched durning the roosevelt election >

Potentially naive but serious question: What’s their goal here? How does destroying democracy benefit them? >

Not trying to be combative, just an honest question, but what, in your opinion, are they doing to “destroy democracy?” 
I read the article and it’s mostly “they are a far right couple, and have relationships with other largely insignificant figures in Washington” that the article claims are also “far right”. Beyond that the main claims are they have taken fees for speaking events of more alleged “far right” organizations, always with no real explanation for the label given of far right. Then lastly he was a vote to repeal roe vs wade, which obviously doesn’t make him the only one. Beyond that, it kicked it back to a state issue as it always should of been. The supreme courts job is to interpret things based on the constitution. That’s it. Aborting children is not a constitutional right. So it’s up to each state how they want to do that. Anyways my point is, I don’t see how any of these accusations are any attempt to “destroy democracy”, it seems more like a far left publications interpretation of things they just disagree with and therefore call it a threat to democracy and “the most corrupt couple in Washington.” Those are opinions, formed on seemingly loose facts. Another accusation was Thomas wife was texting mark meadows after the election about looking into election fraud. Almost every politician on either side is guilty of that accusation in their careers, you can look up highlight clips of every main name politician claiming that at some point in their career. I guess my point is, idk if they are corrupt or to what extent, but this article certainly seems more like an opinion piece than journalism. Even if everything in the article is true, it hardly comes close to making a valid accusation that they are straight up trying to destroy our country. 
To me the insider trading of our politicians for example is an easy example of a greater harm. You have lawmakers who can structure things based on helping their friends and making a fortune trading stocks that they easily know what the stock will do based on decisions they are making that will affect that stock. Lobbying is another easy example. Straight up, legally paying politicians by corporations to shift favor to their industry and sway decisions. Don’t vote in our favor, we will get you out next cycle by supporting your opponent and paying to trash your reputation. Or you can take a large “donation” and vote in our favor. Wonder what the most likely outcome of those options are. Which is part of why some of the most corrupt politicians in senate are the lifers. They are just doing lobbyists bidding to get richer and hold on to power >

These 2 are jokes. The mastermind is Mitch McConnell >

Impossible. Clarence has never worked hard on the Court, period. (See: Antonin Scalia.) >

Lol yikes these titles >

Hard to think Scalia was the good one. >

When Thomas was confirmed  as a Supreme Court Justice, he said tgat he was going to spend the next 30 years making Democrats  miserable for putting him thru so much grief in his confirmation. >

His long plan. >

He’s been the window-dressing diversity on the SCOTUS for over 30 years. The fact this is happening now isn’t from lack of trying, either. >

And to think, neither of them would have any power in the US the think we should return to.  Are we sure they aren't just in a really slow suicide pact? >

What a bunch of Bull shit! >

The two faces of fascist scum. >

If O Donny couldn’t do it being the smartest man I am sure these two will fizzle out! But forever a part of history on the negative side! >

It should read, Right Wing Activist Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas and his right wing activist wife are working hand in hand destroying American democracy. >

all these people upvoting and agreeing - I am assuming you were super unhappy with Nancy Pelosi and her husband for 40 years, asking her to step down, am I right or you are just a bunch of hypocrites? Let's see how many up vs down votes I get to see if Reddit is truly leftist or not. >

I wonder what will happen to these two BFF's as a result of 1/6. >

He's a sexual predator and she is a disgraceful traitor! >

Clarence Thomas is exactly the embodiment of the American dream. He is a perfect example of why people risk their lives and their children’s lives to come to this land of freedom. Those who oppose the ideals, that Clarence Thomas holds so dearly, oppose the very foundations of our great nation. >

Whatever happened to Eva Brown, Hitler's concubine? >

DOJ? ANYONE? Do something? >

There are times where one wishes that reddit had Facebook’s laugh reac. My goodness, this is silly. Yes, Thomas is a danger to democracy, you closet racists. Thomas (and apparently Kavanaugh at a Christmas party, God forbid), not theFBI actively pressuring social media, engaging in censorship and cover-ups, and trying to throw elections. Not candidates paying for fake dossiers of information, and then turning them around into years of investigation and insinuation of a nothing-burger. Your priorities - and your attention - are very much misplaced here. >

Congress needs to do their jobs and investigate and IMPEACH justice Thomas and his wife NOW. Justice thomas does not seem to vote by law but by personal belief along with his wife who is NOT a justice.  ASK CONGRESS TO INVESTIGATE AND IMPEACH this duo sitting in thomas's seat. >

Ginny, right wing nut job. Should be tried for treason. Clarence Thomas should be thrown out for letting his wife try to influence the WH to do something to keep the great orange one in power. They are both guilty of unpatriotic behavior. >

Merry Christmas, not marry lol frickin auto correct >

What has he done wrong >

They are living the life in their view I'm sure... but both of them are severely obese and bad health is just around the corner for them. The money they have amassed won't help them through the horrid passage they will experience from cancers and failing organs. That is a pretty good punishment for the reckless way they have used their influence. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see them both go to prison for a long time but in this country prison is for the working class not the filthy rich or politically powerful. I'll be thankful to know they are going to have a painful long agonizing existence until they end. Yeah, I've seen what that looks like and it couldn't happen to two more deserving people! >

They both need to be locked up. >

My Fellow Americans 
This is the scapegoat to the issues of the Justice Branch
The Supreme Court should have been the individual or individuals that demonstrate the support and defense of the principles and powers of the Constitution and Bill of Rights of our Democracy 
These traitors are a result of poor leadership and judgment within the halls of Justice >

Are we sure Ginni Thomas is a woman? Cut that hair off and she looks like Dick Cheney >

Worse than Biden/Harris? >

Good thing the USA isn’t a democracy >

Democrats are destroying America with out her !
