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.

Racists!!! Why are they not Doxed and Conceled?
Totally useless... Just like the left.
Once again, showing they "tolerate" only monologue. Never dialogue. Their hypocrisy is so suffocating, they should be dead by now.
Justice Thomas is not the only one who voted to overturn Roe, and yet here the left is, going after the only BLACK (at the time) justice who voted on the matter.
What about the white folks who voted like him?
The left cannot tolerate Blacks who don’t dance like puppets on their liberal strings.

Impotent whining by childish libs who are not getting their way. It means nothing to Justice Thomas remaining on The Court.
HOW many million would sign a petition to IMPEACH Biden-—Harris—Pelosi—Schumer—AOC, etc???
Libs: “Justice is required! One million signatures demands justice! And we can’t wait for the trial. Let’s take this uppity darkie to the oak tree and string him up! For the sake of justice for all!”
North is still North. God bless and keep Justice Clarence Thomas safe.
This is Leftwing Racism, pure and simple.
What is with the republicans in congress?
Loyalty to someone worthy... where is it?
United States.. Patriots?
Why would republicans applaud Cheney?
Its getting to the point to turn all news off.
What in the world has gotten into the minds who don’t want Trump ???
Racists on the march.
MoveOn hates Clarence Thomas because he saved more black lives than BLM ever could and it didn’t cost a penny.
Follow the money is sage advice in politics.
