How Congress could impeach Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
businessinsider com ^ | March 25, 2022 | C. Ryan Barber

The revelation of Ginni Thomas' text messages with former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows almost immediately drew calls for an event not seen in more than two centuries of American history: the impeachment of a sitting Supreme Court justice.

Late Thursday, the Washington Post and CBS reported that Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, exchanged more than two dozen text messages with Meadows as she pressed to overturn former President Donald Trump's electoral defeat in 2020.

The messages — 29 in total — do not directly reference Clarence Thomas or the Supreme Court. But they have fueled ethics questions that had already been swirling around Thomas, who at 73 is the longest-serving justice on the Supreme Court.

Even before the text messages became public, Justice Thomas faced calls for his retirement or resignation as the New Yorker, New York Times, and other media outlets illuminated his wife's political activism. But the text correspondence brought a new tenor to the pressure on Thomas to step down from the Supreme Court.

"Clarence Thomas should be impeached," wrote Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat, in a Twitter post late Thursday.

Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, called on Thomas to recuse himself from cases involving the January 6 investigation and 2024 election because his "conduct on the Supreme Court looks increasingly corrupt."

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said it would be up to Thomas to decide whether to recuse from cases involving the investigation into the Capitol attack.

How the heck do you impeach someone over what their wife did? Can we impeach the pResident over what his son did then?

They can try it.
At their very great risk.
We have had enough.

This crock of a topic came up about two years ago. The left has a feather up their ass about destroying Justice Thomas.

Sure there is a how, but we all know even the mewling RINOs would be out for blood once they got control. Yet let’s face it, the demoncraps ARE exactly this stupid.

So was Clarence supposed to pimp slap his wife? Write down the mileage of her car? Yank her leash? Keep that bit@h in line?

How 1950s of the progs.

That might be a bit extreme - after all, Joe can just "recuse himself" from anything to do with China, Ukraine, Russia, oil & gas, pipelines, foreign or domestic corporations, money, lobbying, income taxes, federal law, etc. Nothing to see hear, no conflicts of interest, it's Trump's fault, move along...

They know. They know Judge ‘KiddiePorn’ Brown Jackson is NOT going to be confirmed. They also know they are headed for historic losses in the House and Senate this fall. So, they’re going to make a run at Thomas, a man who is better than any ten of the scumbags taking a run at them.

“Rep. Ilhan Omar, a Minnesota Democrat”

...saddens me deeply. I’m from Minneapolis. My mother would shop at Donaldsons in her high heels and overcoat. It’s the land of “10,000 Lakes”. Destroyed by a—holes like this. He should be deported immediately. Once a great, friendly mid western state is now total s—t.

Meadows as she pressed to overturn former President Donald Trump's electoral defeat in 2020.

Again they just need to repeat the assertion. They can't bring themselves to ever consider it an open question. Never. Not allowed. Their minds are shut. And yet they must keep reminding themselves by repeating it....as if they were not really convinced themselves...that worse that allowing anyone to have an open mind on the question is dangerous. A danger that can not be allowed. So the people considering the question must be punished. Because so obviously the question is shut, and the debate is over. And they need to assert it again...
