Time for Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from election cases – his wife’s texts prove it

Ginni Thomas's advocacy for an overturned 2020 election show a clear conflict of interest on the supreme court

Ginni Thomas is a rightwing firebrand, married to the supreme court justice Clarence Thomas. She is also wedded to the lie that Joe Biden stole the 2020 presidential election. In a recently revealed 10 November 2020 email to Mark Meadows, Trump's then chief of staff, she opined: The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History." It was up to Meadows to help overturn the election.

Unfortunately for all of us, Justice Thomas may agree with his wife's political agenda. In February 2021, Thomas dissented from the rejection by the court of a challenge brought by Pennsylvania Republicans to the results of the 2020 election. He called the refusal by the six-person majority inexplicable", even as he acknowledged that the election had been free from strong evidence of systemic fraud".
