Hi,

Clarence Thomas's wife, Ginni, personally attended the January 6 Stop the
Steal rally and pleaded with senior White House staff to help Trump
overturn the election in the days leading up to the insurrection.^1

And if Special Counsel Jack Smith's criminal prosecution of Trump is
allowed to go forward and Ginni Thomas is revealed to have played an even
larger role in the insurrection, she could face serious legal trouble.

But now Justice Thomas may have a chance to make the entire case disappear
as one of the justices who will rule on Trump's claim of total
presidential immunity.^2

This is a clear conflict of interest, and Clarence Thomas must recuse
himself. If he doesn't, then it's imperative that the U.S. Congress
impeach and remove him from the Supreme Court.

Clarence Thomas's corruption is so well documented at this point that he's
become a punch line on late-night TV.^3

He's taken millions of dollars' worth of gifts, luxury vacations, and
sweetheart real estate deals from right-wing mega-donors — gifts that
apparently began after he threatened to quit the court and hand his seat
to a Democrat during the Bill Clinton presidency.^4

In return, he's been a rock-solid vote on the Republican side of cases
including Roe v. Wade, Citizens United, and Bush v. Gore.^5

Last year, the Supreme Court responded to concerns about Thomas and other
justices' corruption scandals by issuing a voluntary and unenforceable
code of ethics that said justices would recuse in cases where there's a
conflict of interest.

But Thomas still refuses to step aside, even in a case that could
implicate his own wife in Trump's criminal scheme to overturn the 2020
election.

Demand Progress has mobilized over 100,000 people to demand ethics reform
and accountability at the Supreme Court. Now, with our future of our
democracy on the line, we must demand that Clarence Thomas recuse himself
from the January 6 case. And if he doesn't, he must be impeached.
