Robert ReichGinni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Just thought I should remind everyone of that today.
Gigawatt121@rbreich Nice to know nothing will be done
WaltFrench@Gigawatt121 @rbreich it’s not certain, is it?
I prefer a call for action versus buying into the nihilism of authoritarians’ “resistance is futile”
“You never make the shot you don’t take”
@WaltFrench @rbreich have you seen what dems are saying? Congress ain't going to do jack.
I want to believe but where is the backbone to do something?
I'll believe in accountability when someone is held accountable
@Gigawatt121 @rbreich you apparently missed Tuesday’s headline about a Pol being indicted for corruption is service of seizing power. Too focused on WI? Totally understand but understand, 2 impeachments in, some other institutions gotta step up
JackEnrod@rbreich Paid for busses.

Thanks. I hadn't forgotten.

SFborn1940@rbreich Ginni and Thomas are an embarrassment or worse.
Buster McNuttThat's great. What to do about it?
Zhi Zhu 🕸️"Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, pressed 29 Republican state lawmakers in Arizona — 27 more than previously known — to set aside Joe Biden’s popular vote victory and “choose” presidential electors"

"Ms. Thomas ... and her husband have been a frequent presence at partisan political conferences.
That has long led to calls for Mr. Thomas to recuse himself from cases in which his wife has an interest, but he has rejected such suggestions.
He once said [about] his wife ...
“We are equally yoked, and we love being with each other because we love the same things.”""
@rbreich and not only did her husband not recuse himself from a vote on keeping her role secret, his boss—Chief Justice Roberts—has done nothing to disabuse us of the idea that ethics & even laws are no part of his Court
UK-Birmingham_UTV@rbreich Nothing will happen. Nothing ever does.
miket330@rbreich yes, and now hubby with undisclosed gifts hmmmm, I see a trend of sedition..
Ranch Dressing@rbreich remember when Brett Kavanaugh yelled about liking beer before crying about his calendar at his confirmation hearing? I 'member
Shokk@rbreich LOCK HER UP
Toby@rbreich "Free Cruise" Clarence Thomas? That Clarence Thomas?

Ed McQueen@rbreich We should publically shame her as a failure!
MOVED:They faux'd around & found out!@[email protected] - Meanwhile, Clarance was apparently off on yacht trips paid by & with billionaires… or some such thing.
fmc01@rbreich if it were in my power I would make your posts a mandatory part of all scholastic curricula. You might be a little harsh to Ginni - apparently she told the Jan 6 committee that she regretted the fact that the messages “became public.” Alongside democracy, Irony is one of the greatest gifts from the Greeks.
As for her significant other no doubt they will pay very careful attention to which precedents are reconsidered.

toxtethogrady@rbreich Especially since Republicans are complaining about a judge who made campaign contributions to Joe Biden...
Caeden Kane, Councilor@rbreich I don’t think we need to be reminded they are pieces of shit.
KanaMauna@rbreich I’m pretty sure that’s something you’re supposed to claim on your IRS taxes.
Bsan3@rbreich I was thinking of that too. Wonder what's going through this couple's head. Plain power hungry or some vision of America I don't get !?
TopKnotWhat does it cost to buy a Supreme Court Justice and his Handmaid these days.
The cost of a nice 2-week vacation on a superyacht doesn't sound like much money. Maybe the Handmaid, OfClarence adds some comfort and sexual relief to the old wrinkled guys club.
Rick MycroftFor those who think the size of the Supreme Court is fixed in stone, an odd bit of trivia:
Justice Thomas sits on the 10th associate seat. The seats are numbered in order of creation, and not renumbered when seats were removed.

jimray@rbreich Ginni Thomas once heard the parable that “Caesar’s wife must be above all suspicion” and decided to take that bet.

Barton John Bishoff@rbreich And Democrats and Independents are doing nothing about this or something about this. Guess which.
