Just this.... Happy New Year! New actual news - about the 'rigged' #GQP SCOTUS, vs. #Justice, #democracy, & We The People
The live report I just saw isn't live yet online, but my the short description below fleshes it out a bit, and here's the headline:
House Democrats urge Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from Trump Colorado ballot case
The former president has asked the Supreme Court to overturn a ruling in Colorado that he is ineligible to appear on the state primary ballot because of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
But but...
A group of House Democrats, led by Rep. Hank Johnson, of Georgia, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee’s courts subcommittee, demanded that Thomas recuse himself from the case in a letter dated Thursday.
“This time, we must urge you to recuse yourself from any involvement in the case of Anderson v. Griswold, because your impartiality is reasonably questioned by substantial numbers of fair-minded members of the public, who believe you wife Virginia ('Ginni') Thomas’s substantial involvement in the events leading up to the January 6 insurrection, and the financial incentive it presents for your household if President Trump is re-elected, are disqualifying,” the lawmakers wrote.
Former lead impeachment lawyer, now Congressman, Dan Goldman... has, with colleagues sent a concise and profoundly clear letter from Congress - stating the obvious: Ginni Thomas not only participated in, but promoted and fund-raised for the #Jan6 insurrection, "insurrection" as clearly defined in both dictionary and history, as well as two recent court decisions.
Thin-sliced: Having a justice in effect ruling on his wife's behavior and what that was, and meant, would be, to be precise, unthinkable. If we live in a sane world and democracy. So, please Clarence, come in off the yacht and look at yourself, if you can.
That last point was just made by Dan Goldman (live, moments ago) on MSNBC, Last Word w/LO'D... If you can see it live/DVR'd on cable or streaming, it's on now/later. It's not up as a snippet online, though I hope it is soon. So clear. So obvious. So difficult to imagine a respectable and rational reply.
This was real. And an inconvenient #truth for the hubby of a #seditionist and tool of #TrumpVirus
