Hi,
Clarence Thomas' wife, Ginni Thomas, 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
Now Clarence Thomas wants to rule on Trump’s immunity case, which the
Supreme Court heard this week. Thomas has a CLEAR conflict of interest in
the case — which could decide whether Trump and others involved in January
6, including his wife, could be prosecuted for election interference.^2

Trump immunity case!
ADD YOUR NAME
The slew of Clarence Thomas’ ethics issues are not minor, isolated
incidents. He’s taken millions in undisclosed luxury vacations and income
from right-wing billionaires, and that’s just the beginning of it. To
describe Thomas’s string of behaviors that likely broke the law, experts
and retired judges have used words like INCOMPREHENSIBLE, HIDING,
VIOLATION, and CORRODES PUBLIC TRUST.^3,4
Thomas has refused to step aside in other cases where he’s had a conflict
of interest. Now, in this case involving Trump, the ruling could implicate
his own wife in Trump's criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election. He
must step aside immediately.
[ [link removed] ]Add your name: Enough with Clarence Thomas’ conflicts of interest. He
must recuse himself in Trump’s immunity case.
Thanks for taking action,
Joey and the team at Demand Progress
