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.

How many of those signatures are valid? I know that Disney has gone woke, but I doubt Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, or Buzz Lightyear have honest opinions on Justice Thomas’ rulings.
Yep. Call them the racist bastards that they are.
Democrats are furious with Justice Thomas for being instrumental in ending their 60 year binge of killing black babies in the womb.
Thomas has taken action that will save more black lives than Abraham Lincoln.
Democrat icon Robert Byrd, one time KKK “Exalted Cyclops”, is rolling over in his grave.
You don't seem to know much about Clarence Thomas. He is as tough as they come.
I understand that, but I’m just stating what they want.
We can only hope they kill a Supreme before the 2024 election.
Impeached for what? Upholding the Constitution?
Liberalism truly IS A MENTAL DISORDER!!!!
You are sowing the wind, KHALEDA RAHMAN. That is dangerous for the country. Please stop.
I thought they were in solidarity with the black man, remember black lives matter. Guess its ok to lynch a black man when you are woke and you are protected
I don't have any such hopes.
Ahh.
I meant they don’t kill a supreme before the 2024.
Sorry about that.
Call it what it is. A lynching.
By a mob of crazy reprobates.
Racists.
1 million signatures as valid as 81 million votes.
Roe vs Wade was the best thing that ever could have happened to the lothario class.
He just needs to wait until Trump is back in office. Then he can retire.
One of my sons was discussing on NewsBreak that impeaching C. Thomas is not going to happen. Some idiot Liberal (aren’t they all?) told him he’s to dumb to be there. The liberal said all of Trump’s appointments to the USSC should be booted off since he was helped by Russia. Son replied sorry but you need to stop watching CNN and MsNBC. The liberal was getting angry, son told him that it is a state rights, the liberal said the federal needs to control it. Son told him that the 10th amendment gave the states more power. Liberal was confused and told my son that he is bad. Son replied, I’m not I’m a AmericaFirst.
Wasn’t it Alito that wrote the opinion? Why are they ganging up on Thomas?
Because he's an uppity black man who wandered off the DemocRAT plantation.
Son asked the same question at NewsBreak. He asked did it come from the cemetery, since that is who Biden supporters are... (Smart kids I have)
Thomas is a run-away-slave. They need to get him.
