Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas crossed a line when he dissented on the Supreme Court rejection of former President Donald Trump’s attempt to block the release of records to the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol.
Schiff was responding to a question about the committee potentially subpoenaing Ginni Thomas over text messages she sent to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
Partial transcript as follows:
MARGARET BRENNAN: Your colleague Liz Cheney was on two other networks this morning, and she said that you all are discussing a potential subpoena for Ginni Thomas, who is married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Are there lines that shouldn’t be crossed here when it comes to the Supreme Court? Because one of the objections to the premise of a subpoena here is that it- it sets a dangerous precedent by putting the spouse of a justice in this political forum.
REP. SCHIFF: There are lines that shouldn’t be crossed, but those lines involve sitting Supreme Court justices, not presiding or appearing or taking action in cases in which their spouse may be implicated. And in this case, for Clarence Thomas to issue a decision, in a case, a dissent in a case where Congress is trying to get documents, and those documents might involve his own wife, that’s the line that’s been crossed. And I think, for Congress to be looking into these issues, looking into conflict of interest issues. But here, looking into issues, whether it involves the wife of a Supreme Court justice or anyone else, if they have information or role in an effort to overturn an election. Yes, they’re not excluded from examination.
MARGARET BRENNAN: It sounds like you’re saying you favor

Lol, they better hurry. After Jan it all becomes moot.
Can we look into Nancy Pelosi’$ husband’s conflicts-of-interest as long as we are looking into spouses?
“ There are lines that shouldn’t be crossed“ like reading and passing off a totally fabricated transcript into a House hearing.
How is it this perfidious clown still retains a shred of credibility with the news media?
Never mind.
THAT'S the set up to (mis)lead the reader to agree with the speaker . . . . yet . . .
Who says so ?
Crossing (someone's imagined) lines is not law nor legal maneuvering.
Perfect description!
I’m surprised that Schiff has any more credibility than a garden slug....but that’s the world we live in.
Corrupt Congressman Schiff to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas: “Got to the end of the line black-robed black man. This elite whitey (myself, The Schiffer) with my documented history of lying, says you are a threat to the Republic.”
That’s not crossing a line - that’s a dissent.
Threatening a sitting justice by another house of government is crossing a line.
All he needs is a red cartoon winkie for a nose.
So, Adamn Schiffhead now gets to order a SCOTUS judge not to dissent on a case SCOTUS decides.
So much for Seperation of Powers.
If Pelosi’s trade deals are completely detached from Nanzi, then Ginni’s politics are completely detached from the good Justice.
I love it. In 2025 Thomas leaves the SCOTUS and Trump nominates him to be the Atty. General. 1991 all over again. No senate debate. Ram him through and rub it in. Let him stick around for a year-quit in the spring of ‘26. Enjoy life.
Note tagline.
What this J6 committee is doing is downright sick. If the GOP doesn’t raise holy hell and fight back with their majority I will probably stop wasting my time voting.
This Adam Schiff?
“Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday there is “plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight” regarding the Trump campaign and Russia.”
Just stop...
Anybody who is too slow to scoop their brains out on the floor and mindlessly bow down and kiss the foot of Leftist insanity has crossed the line for Schiff.
