March 25, 20223 yr 2 hours ago, mr_hunt said: https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/24/politics/ginni-thomas-mark-meadows-text-messages/index.html The House Select Committee investigating the January 6 riot has in its possession more than two dozen text messages between former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, a conservative activist and the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, according to multiple sources familiar with the messages. thomas must step down. Ya suddenly the concerns over Jackson being fit for the bench seem to be a lot less significant in light of Thomas having a mentally ill nutjob in his ear 24/7. Sure does paint the language of his comments on the 2020 election in a vastly different light.
March 25, 20223 yr "An election free from strong evidence of systemic fraud is not alone sufficient for election confidence. Also important is the assurance that fraud will not go undetected." Reading this again, in light of what we now know about his wife, makes it pretty clear what he was angling for all along. Yikes.

F’ing pathetic. And amazingly the people that support him are grilling a new nominee right now about whether or not she’ll adhere to the constitution.

Hopefully, he's telling Thomas what the deal is, disgraceful basstard. Funny how Roberts turned out to be the one keeping the Court on the level. Never would've thought that years ago.

March 25, 20223 yr Supreme court justices have to go through the impeachment process to be removed no? Regardless of how I feel about about how justified it would be, that seems pretty unlikely.

March 25, 20223 yr I think even if he did retire he wouldn’t do it until after the 2022 elections when the GOP gets the senate back. Then they would not confirm any Biden appointment because they’ve already established that they will wait any amount of time needed until there is a GOP President.
March 25, 20223 yr Look. His wife is Looney Tunes. But so are many wives. We need concrete evidence that he in some way ruled the way he did to protect his wife (preventing the release of her texts). Otherwise, being nuts and/or having a nuts wife isn’t grounds for impeachment. If it were, 90% of Congress would be impeached. But calling for him to resign based on wife wife being crazier than a bag of cats? You need a hell of a lot more than that.

There is zero integrity left in these types of public hearings.
March 25, 20223 yr I realize that resignation may be a bridge too far, but I'm hopeful for anything that allows us to recapture that stolen seat and restore balance to the Court.

Completely agree that Thomas isn't going anywhere outside of some new breaking info. But I will say "Looney Tunes" doesn't quite cover it if she was really pushing Meadows to try and overthrow a democratic election, and standard Congressional F-ery doesn't quite cover it if he voted against a supreme court decision specifically knowing his wife could be implicated if he voted for it. That's above and beyond the usual BS. Enough to get him impeached or force retirement? Doubt it unfortunately, but still really really Fed.
March 25, 20223 yr ginny's "best friend " was being consulted as they tried to overturn the election.

If I'm simply stepping back and looking at this logically, I think it would be better for the country in the long term for both sides to have relatively equal influence. You're less likely to see things boil over into social strife if each side feels that they have a say in the matters at hand. Even if they got Thomas' seat, it would still be a 5-4 conservative majority, even though they are not a majority of the electorate. It is unnaturally out of balance right now, and I truly don't think this is good for the nation as a whole.
