Friend,
The January 6 committee subpoenaed Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas, to testify under oath for her role in meddling in
both the 2020 presidential election and the January 6 insurrection.
Right now, the fake electors scheme that Ginni Thomas tried to make happen
is illegal, but the Supreme Court could make it legal if they decide in
favor of North Carolina Republicans in the case of Moore v. Harper, which
the Supreme Court is set to hear soon. There is no way that Justice Thomas
will be impartial on a scheme for which Ginni Thomas has been advocating.

Ginni Thomas sent at least 21 text messages to White House Chief of Staff
Mark Meadows during the insurrection, contacted 29 Arizona state
lawmakers, and pressured the chair of the Senate elections committee and
at least one other Republican lawmaker in Wisconsin to set aside Biden’s
popular-vote victory and “choose” new presidential electors who would vote
for Trump.(1)
Thomas used the “independent state legislature theory” as the basis for
her argument, the same argument at the core of Moore v. Harper, the case
soon to be heard by the Supreme Court, on which her husband sits.

The Supreme Court of the United States is not immune to public pressure.
Don’t believe it? Just ask Republicans who spent the last 50 years working
to overturn Roe v. Wade or researchers who have been documenting this for
years.(2)(3)(4)(5)
This case could mean the Supreme Court essentially decides who will be
president in 2024, again. The right-wing majority of SCOTUS could remove
American voters from the selection of the next president by giving state
legislatures the power to substitute their own slate of electors pledged
to whomever they wish.
[ [link removed] ]We’re working with more than a dozen other organizations representing
over 10 million Americans in demanding that Justice Thomas recuse himself
from Moore v. Harper. Please add your name now.
The Judicial Code of Ethics requires all other federal judges to recuse
themselves “from hearing any case in which personal entanglements could
lead a fair-minded member of the public to question impartiality.”
Justice Thomas must recuse himself now. Thank you for joining the fight by
taking this action today.
