Hi,
Every new bit of information about Ginni Thomas is more damning than the last. The New York Times just reported that Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, emailed Arizona lawmakers in 2020 to pressure them to overturn the presidential election results.1
Ginni Thomas' heavy involvement in the effort to overturn the 2020 election – and American democracy as we know it – is a CLEAR conflict of interest for Justice Clarence Thomas. Congress has to take action and investigate Clarence Thomas.
Ginni Thomas was already caught texting Mark Meadows, Trump's chief of staff, and Jared Kushner about strategies to steal the election. Then months later Justice Thomas was the lone dissenter in a Supreme Court case about the January 6th insurrection, attempting to block the January 6th Commission from accessing White House documents.
It's hard to draw a clearer line of conflict of interest here. Justice Thomas is not an impartial juror on the nation's highest court. Instead, he and his wife are bitter hardline conservative activists. We need to know whether they sided with Trump's Big Lie and worked to topple American democracy.
The reports that Ginni Thomas may have taken active steps to pressure Arizona lawmakers to overturn the results of the 2020 election is an appalling slap in the face to small "d" democracy. The American people deserve better – and we deserve to know just how closely Ginni and Clarence Thomas' politics tie to the Supreme Court.
Thanks for taking action,
Tihi and the team at Demand Progress
