    Virginia Thomas urged White House chief to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 election, texts show

    Virginia Thomas, a conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressed White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in a series of urgent text exchanges in the critical weeks after the vote, according to copies of the messages obtained by The Washington Post and CBS News.

    The messages — 29 in all — reveal an extraordinary pipeline between Virginia Thomas, who goes by Ginni, and President Donald Trump’s top aide during a period when Trump and his allies were vowing to go to the Supreme Court in an effort to negate the election results.

    On Nov. 10, after news organizations had projected Joe Biden the winner based on state vote totals, Thomas wrote to Meadows: “Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!!...You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America’s constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History.”

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/03/24/virginia-thomas-mark-meadows-texts/

    Hmmmm. Remind me again who was the only justice to vote to allow Trump to block access to 1/6 documents sought by the 1/6 Committee. Isn't he the same guy who refuses to recuse himself from cases he has a clear conflict of interest with?

    This thread has shown that Justice Thomas's wife is a crank whose crankery is cause for Clarence's recusal from a number of cases for which he has refused to recuse himself. .

    In February 2021, when the Supreme Court rejected election challenges filed by Trump and his allies, Thomas wrote in a dissent that it was “baffling” and “inexplicable” that the majority had decided against hearing the cases because he believed the Supreme Court should provide states with guidance for future elections.

    Given his own “baffling” and “inexplicable” rulings it appears Thomas is being influenced by his wife's nutbaggery.

    Looks like Q Anon has at least one very high profile SCOTUS influencer working directly on the inside, Ginni.

    The days when people were able to toe a moral line of code are gone. Time for the court to come up with some codes of conduct and a moral bar will now have to be defined.

    Just more DP racist attacks on a black Republican judge and his family.
    IOW, routine BS.

    You are woefully uninformed. Perhaps purposely so.

    Why do you hate black people and want to remove them from positions of power?

    In any other Federal court, Thomas would have been disciplined for failing to recuse. He could easily have lost his job. For a number of reasons, SC judges should have to follow the ethical standards other judges have to follow.

    It's ludicrous that they don't. Relying on the honor system with conservatives is a waste of time. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...affirmative-action-case/7140930001/?gnt-cfr=1

    This isn't surprising. I've never cared for him and I don't believe for one second that he didn't know about this. That cesspool is way too incestuous.

    Is this really you, introducing this kind of racist driven thread? You? Are you that afraid of having to share the minority stage with an actual success story who demonstrates the American Dream better than most in contrast with your new minority woman? Really? I suspect that you haven't been worrying about what Soto or Kegan have been up to then, huh? So, you'd create yet another false narrative and another character assassination thread to spread your version of whitewashing history... Do you still think Pelosi's husband doesn't create a conflict of interest for her? No? Sidelined.

    Interesting. For the first time in a long time I feel guardedly optimistic. woke school boards are being challenged and even recalled. Defund the police movements are faltering, even Biden has turned against them.Woke prosecutors are threatened with recalls. people are speaking out against trans bullying. And Democrats are going to be drowned in a Red tsunami in a few months.

    You are giving Trump too much credit if you attribute all this to his influence.

    Just using the same criteria that democrats use these days. If you attack Jackson, you must be a racist. I can provide LOTS of examples. So, you attacking Clarence is just as racist. Your side made the rules, live with it.

    Justice Thomas is a target of DP racist attacks.
    If you have any substantive criticism please share it.

    Thomas was the lone dissenter in a case where Trump was seeking suppression of national archive presidential records, of which Thomas's wife phone texts to Meadows records where she was egging him on to 'release the kraken' etc., some 29 texts all told, were part.

    Clearly there is a conflict of interest there, and he should have recused himself. This fact, in my view, is grounds for impeachment as it is a clear corruption of the Supreme Court.

    Don't disagree at all but, like a lot of thing in America, and we have learned about much more of them since Trump's term, tradition and the honor system is no longer enough to elect and govern. Their peers are no longer holding their partisan 'criminal counterparts' feet to the fire. It's up to Roberts and the other judges to hold him in contempt and sanction him as necessary. They are not. It's the weakness and the strength of all self governing bodies.

    It will never happen impeach Justice Thomas. I am not one of his biggest fans, BUT, the case with Gini Thomas text messages will not lead to any indictment per se. It will, however, make her susceptible to which she won't get hired as a political strategist from the McConnell Camp of the GOP though and thus, limit her options in what she does. However, the only way this could happen is if there is actual evidence of ex parte communication of said case by his wife. And I don't think Justice Thomas, or any Federal Judge sitting on the bench, would be that callous.

    Second, this is not a clear case under judicial ethical guidelines for recusal because the case involves a Constitutionality of law, not guilt or innocense. Under rule 3C, it states, "Canon 3C. Recusal considerations applicable to a judge’s spouse should also be considered with respect to a person other than a spouse with whom the judge maintains both a household and an intimate relationship." It further reads that if there is a third party involvement which either the judge or judge's spouse knows the other lawyer personally, then that might be disqualification. The article is trying to based judicial preference as a disqaulifying manner and that is not sustained in the ethical rules of conduct.

    Biden does not have the power to remove him. Technically, then Senator led the Justice Thomas inquiry with the infamous Anita Hill testimony and the allegation of sexual harrassment by her. Biden also voted against Justice Thomas in the confirmation. So, I am not quite sure how Biden is responsible for him being there.

    When Scalia was alive and Thomas on the Bench, Scalia was hands down, the brightest justice on the bench, notwithstanding judicial philosophy.
