Jack, Donald Trump—who incited an insurrection—is appealing the Colorado decision that removed him from the ballot.
The case now goes to the U.S. Supreme Court, which will make one of the most consequential decisions since Bush v. Gore was decided more than 23 years ago.
Sign the petition: Justice Clarence Thomas cannot fairly rule on this case, and must recuse himself immediately.

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution is clear: those who engaged in insurrection (after taking an oath of office) are disqualified from running for public office. What Trump did to incite his supporters on January 6th was unprecedented and requires this extraordinary response.
Clarence Thomas has no business ruling on this case, and must recuse himself. After it was clear that Joe Biden had won Arizona and Wisconsin, Thomas' wife Ginni pressured legislators in both states to appoint a rival slate of electors to award them to Trump. She also regularly contacted Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows in a series of text messages after the 2020 election and before January 6, urging him to “help this Great President stand firm."
The U.S. Supreme Court's credibility is on the line. As it decides whether Donald Trump can remain on the ballot, the justices cannot risk another flawed decision with a glaring conflict of interest. Removing Clarence Thomas from hearing this case would be a good first step.
Sign the petition: Clarence Thomas' wife aided and abetted Donald Trump's insurrection attempt. He cannot rule on his disqualification to run for president again.
