The petition
-snip
by advocacy group MoveOn after it emerged that Thomas' wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, had repeatedly urged aides of former President Donald Trump to try to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election, prompting calls for the justice to recuse himself from cases related to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The petition has gained hundreds of thousands of signatures since the court overturned Roe v. Wade last week, stripping away constitutional protections for abortion.
It was addended to note that Thomas, who voted with the majority to overturn the landmark ruling, "made it clear what's next: to overturn high court rulings that establish gay rights and contraception rights."
"Justice is needed," one person noted as their reason for signing the petition, while another said he "never should've been appointed to begin with."
The petition noted that Thomas, who was appointed by former President George H. W. Bush in 1991 and is the longest-serving member of the Supreme Court, was the lone dissenting voice when the Supreme Court ruled earlier this year to allow the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack to obtain access to contested White House records.
"It has become clear that his wife—longtime conservative activist Ginni Thomas—was actively urging the White House to overturn election results both leading up to January 6 and after the deadly insurrection," the petition states.
"Thomas' failure to recuse himself warrants immediate investigation and heightened alarm. And it's only the latest in a long history of conflicts of interest in the service of a right-wing agenda and mixing his powerful role with his conservative political activism. He has shown he cannot be an impartial justice and is more concerned with covering up his wife's coup attempts than the health of the Supreme Court.

Waste of time.
Not happening dont care how many sigs they get.
They hope to make his life hell, so he retires.
“Them uppity blacks gotta go.” Is that really the message the progressives wanna send? 🤣
That should be thrown right back in the faces.
Up to that number of dumbasses that don’t quite understand. Sad.
Call it what it is. A lynching.
Fair and balanced “journalism”.
1 millions P*ssyhats having their 19th nervous breakdown, and the waiter hasn’t even served Brunch yet!
Racists.
The petition noted that Thomas, who was appointed by former President George H. W. Bush in 1991The only good thing the squeaking little bastard ever did for this country.
The petition has no relevance to an impeachment proceeding or legal matter.
Clueless brainwashed IDIOTS. Clarence Thomas is the most intelligent of the Justices by a long shot. Typical libtards—when they don’t get their way, it’s “I’m a gonna take my ball and go home!”
Those turkeys all these years should admit their real reason for prejudice against him: he be offa de Dem plantation and no way no how that be ceptibull. Nosir.
Exactly. He dares think for himself. They can’t have that!
1 million signatures... So that means 328.5 million Americans support him... Good to know.
Libtards, please ESAD. Thank you
I remember, as a kid, playing marbles with these self-absorbed brats. They would pull out their 1/4 pound steely and knock a few marbles out of the circle, leaving their steely in the circle. Not only would I pick off their prize steely, but all the rest of their marbles. They ended up screaming, "You cheated!" knowing very well their steely was a way for them to cheat. I would casually pick up my bag of marbles and leave.
The Dems exploit this situation by promising that if you vote for them they will give you government paid abortions. Abortion is a way to get away with cheating: "Babe, just this one time. Nothing is going to happen. You won't get pregnant."
Two months later: "You're pregnant? You should have known you would get pregnant! You better get an abortion because I'm not going to support having a kid!"
We now know why they call it a shotgun wedding.
The Dems exploit the situation by promising that if you vote for them they will guarantee you will get government paid for abortions.
All Democrats, all racists.
