  1. In 2022, for example, the Federalist, a far right-wing blog site funded by Dick Uihlein, published a piece by #MarkPaoletta attacking an investigation by Jane Mayer in the New Yorker about #GinniThomas’ close ties to right-wing groups, including some that file briefs with the #SCOTUS.

  3. Martin Pengelly: Liz Cheney blocked January 6 scrutiny of Ginni Thomas, book says: Anti-Trump Republican stymied investigation of activist married to supreme court justice, says reporter David Brock

    "Liz Cheney, the Republican vice-chair of the House January 6 committee, did “all she could” to protect the rightwing supreme court justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, the political activist Ginni Thomas, by blocking an in-depth investigation of Ginni’s involvement in Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, a new book says.

    In Stench: The Making of the Thomas Court and the Unmaking of America, the reporter and Democratic operative David Brock writes that “two Capitol Hill sources with personal knowledge” revealed a “dramatic truth, which might shock even some jaded Washington veterans not easily surprised by callow examples of power protecting power."

  4. Clarence Thomas Faces Recusal Call From Democrats After Wife's Comment

    Story by Kaitlin Lewis
    September 10, 2024

    "Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have called on #SupremeCourt Justice #ClarenceThomas to recuse himself from cases involving a religious legal group after his wife reportedly thanked the conservative organization for its efforts to block Supreme Court reform.

    "Thomas, a conservative appointed by former President #GeorgeHWBush in 1991, has been one of the justices at the center of calls for court reform after it was revealed that he has accepted millions of dollars in gifts from some top #RepublicanDonors without disclosing the items and #LuxuryVacations to the court. Questions of Thomas' impartiality were also raised after his wife, conservative activist Ginni Thomas, pressured officials to overturn the 2020 election results in favor of former President Donald Trump.

    "Investigative outlet #ProPublica first reported last week that #GinniThomas recently praised conservative legal group #FirstLibertyInstitute in an email to the firm's president and CEO, Kelly Shackelford, for the organization's work in opposing change to the High Court."

  5. #GinniThomas wrote that #FirstLiberty’s opposition to court-reform proposals gave a boost to certain judges. Acc/to Shackelford, Thomas wrote in all caps: “YOU GUYS HAVE FILLED THE SAILS OF MANY JUDGES. CAN I JUST TELL YOU, THANK YOU SO, SO, SO MUCH.”

    Shackelford said he saw Thomas’ support as evidence that #judges, who “can’t go out into the political sphere & fight,” were thankful for their work to block #SCOTUS reform.

  13. Gee, no reason this corrupt demon should recuse himself, I guess....
    Nah, he'll just step it up (as Ginni & he remain unpunished.

    Remind me: Just how complicit was Ginni in facilitating and promoting the #Jan6 #sedition? And hubby, Clarence, the Yachtsman?

  14. No #SCOTUS decision on #Trump’s absolute #immunity claim.

    Chief *Justice* #JohnRoberts announced that Monday is the final day of the term.

    Monday will mark the first time since 2020 that the Supreme Court term runs into July. The court extended the session that year because of delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Before that, it had not happened since 1996.
