John,

We have some major updates for you about Clarence Thomas’ mushrooming corruption scandals.

The right-wing Supreme Court stacked with Trump and McConnell’s handpicked political operatives has agreed to consider a case in which they will decide whether Colorado can disqualify Donald Trump from appearing in this year’s presidential election for his efforts to incite an insurrection. And despite Thomas’ clear conflicts of interest in this matter, we have no indication that he will recuse himself from the case.

We don’t expect Thomas to abide by ethical norms — but that does not mean he can continue to do so without facing consequences.

We need your help to rein in this unprecedented corruption and to relentlessly sound the alarm on this stolen and illegitimate court. Will you add your name to our petition and demand that Thomas recuse himself from all insurrection-related cases before the Supreme Court?

Thank you for all that you do,

John,

Donald Trump thinks his hand-picked Supreme Court supermajority is his “get out of jail free” card. And right now, we’re waiting on a sign of whether he’s right.

Three years after MAGA insurrectionists attacked the U.S. Capitol, the Trump-stacked Supreme Court may put its thumb on the scale of the 2024 election by weighing in on insurrection-related cases — as Clarence Thomas, the spouse of a right-wing activist involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, sits on the court.

With his myriad January 6-related conflicts of interest, Clarence Thomas has no business hearing cases related to Trump’s insurrection. Will you sign our petition and demand that Thomas recuses himself from all insurrection-related cases?

Clarence Thomas’ wife Ginni Thomas is an insurrectionist who made headlines for her texts with former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows urging Trump not to concede the 2020 election. 

She also attended the Stop the Steal Rally that preceded the deadly Capitol riot.

And now this insurrectionist’s “best friend,” confidante, and husband Clarence Thomas has another chance to weigh in on whether states should be forced to allow Trump on the ballot this fall despite his efforts to incite that very riot.

This week, House Democrats called on Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from a case related to Trump and the Capitol coup. Will you turn up the public pressure by signing our petition calling for Thomas’ recusal?

Until we take back this illegitimate court, the threat of the justices handing Trump a trump card will continue to endanger our democracy. 

Add your voice to the growing chorus calling on Thomas to recuse himself from cases related to January 6 by signing our petition here.

Thank you for your partnership in our fight to restore integrity to our nation’s highest court,
