| 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. Demand that Justice Thomas recuse himself from Moore v. Harper now!
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. 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.
