Dear Colleagues and Friends,

f you have already signed our letter calling on Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from the case of Unites States v. Trump, we thank you. We are continuing our signature-gathering efforts to ensure that as many voices as possible are heard all the way to the Supreme Court.

As our letter sets forth in detail, Justice Thomas’ spouse, Virginia, has an extensive and well-documented involvement in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and obstruct certification of the electoral vote. Efforts to overturn that election are at the heart of criminal charges against the former president.

If the Supreme Court decides that presidential immunity applies to all of the former president’s actions, Mrs. Thomas escapes the potential scrutiny that could emerge in a trial against Mr. Trump. Under the Cour’s own Code of Conduct, disqualification is warranted where Justices know that they, or their spouse, have an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of a proceeding.

The only correct action under the Code is for Justice Thomas to recuse himself on April 25. If he will not, then the Chief Justice should exercise his leadership and intervene.
We are asking you to please join LDAD’s efforts to prevent this from happening by signing our letter to Chief Justice Roberts today.
