AOC wants him off the court.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) Tuesday called on Justice Clarence Thomas to step down from the Supreme Court over conflicts involving his wife’s backing of former President Trump’s illegal effort to overturn his election loss.

Otherwise, the firebrand progressive warned Thomas could face impeachment.
“Clarence Thomas should resign,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “If not, his failure to … recuse himself from matters involving his wife, and his vote to block the Jan 6th commission from key information must be investigated and could serve as grounds for impeachment.”
AOC joins a handful of progressive lawmakers calling for Clarence Thomas to step down in recent days.
Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.), who chairs a House subcommittee overseeing federal courts, said he plans to hold a “robust investigation” over the issue.
“All options have to be on the table,” Jones said.
Clarence Thomas should resign.
If not, his failure to disclose income from right-wing organizations, recuse himself from matters involving his wife, and his vote to block the Jan 6th commission from key information must be investigated and could serve as grounds for impeachment.

Congress must understand that a failure to hold Clarence Thomas accountable sends a loud, dangerous signal to the full Court – Kavanaugh, Barrett, & the rest – that his acts are fair game.
This is a tipping point. Inaction is a decision to erode and further delegitimize SCOTUS.

Subpoenas, investigations, and impeachment should absolutely be on the table. We shouldn’t have to think twice about that.
We must go where the facts take us. A failure to act puts the imperiling of democracy squarely on *our* shoulders. It’s our duty to defend it.

Criticism of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas continues to grow after more evidence emerged about the involvement of his wife, Virginia, better known as Ginni, in Trump’s scheme to stay in power after losing the election.
A well-known right-wing activist, Ginni admitted attending Trump’s Jan. 6 rally, but says she did not storm the Capitol and insists she “played no role” in planning the attack.
Last week, it was revealed that she exchanged dozens of text messages with White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows urging Trump not to give up power peacefully.
While there is a Code of Conduct for United States Judges used to promote the integrity, independence, and impartiality of the federal judiciary, the Code does not explicitly apply to Justices of the Supreme Court. Namely, it’s up to each justice to decide whether to recuse themselves from a case with implications for a close relative or associate.
Supreme Court judges can be impeached, but that possibility remains extremely far-fetched as it would require a two-thirds vote in the evenly divided Senate.

What an embarrassment to have this idiot in the US Congress. How far have we fallen.
Just wait until those 2 million Biden uneducated poverty stricken illegals he allowed to cross the border get given the right to vote. We will have completely fallen into the Democrat swamp quicksand way over our heads.
The 11 million illegals they were always talking about has now turned into 56 Million, when you add those 2 Million that we know about, that Biden just let into our country .
THese days its more like 40 million illegals!!!
The Warning Signs That Our Socoety , Like ” The Fall Of The Roman Empire, ” Is Upon Us All and Like Rome We Have Allowed Immigrants To envade America through This Countries Open Borders. Its Been Said That, ” Those Who Don’t Study History Are Bound To Repeat It, ” I can See America Is Headed For A Bitter End Just Like ” Accient Rome Fell because Rome Allowed Immigrant to Flood Rome And The Citizens Were Over whelmed by their Numbers.
Talk about ” The tail wagging the dog, ” The whole Socialist Communist Party of America is Obeying the Least of the Party.
All mouth and no brain Cortez moving along to her next PR stunt. You have to wonder how such an airhead could ever get elected to Congress. Has no common sense whatsoever.
YOUare one of a sizeable group who needs to go, AOC—and the sooner, the better. Clarence Thomas is the best Justice on the Court, but I suppose Ketanji Jackson—who can’t define what a woman is because she isn’t a biologist—is more on your intellectual level.
If Trump’s attempts to stop the election steal were illegal as OAC claims, he would now be in jail. Media claims. manufactured lies and propaganda do not make it so, as we all are discovering on the Hunter Biden crime coverups. OAC impeaching a sitting Supreme Court justice for things his wife said are like locking IIhan Omar’s husband up for marrying Ilhan Omar his sister, in order to illegally sneak him into the country. What the hell is it about the word ILLEGAL that OAC and her squat of social criminals cannot seem to grasp? They all are destined to be arrested for conspiracy to engage in unamerican activities and attempts to overthrow of the U.S. Supreme Court through nonsense impeachments and unamerican illegal court packing in her own efforts to overturn a legal Supreme Court Nomination via open conspiracy. and outright Unconstitutional rebellion.
ITS Only illegal if conservatives do it.. IF THE left ARE the ones doing it, its good!
Maybe the reason that Judge Jackson can’t define a woman is because she doesn’t know if she is a Man-Male or Woman-Female. Maybe she tell if She’s a Woman-Female or Man-Male. And Going back to AOC , Bar Tender -Bar Fly.
This little 29 year old Girl has her Head Up her Rear Quarters and trying to find a way out. She reminds me of a Show I watched when I was Younger. The Name of the Show was but ? before I do. I m 75 Years Old that will let U know how Old the Show is. Now for the Name is = Francis The Talking MULE. Every Time she Opens her BIG Mouth she looks like her and Sounds like her. And Every Time she opened her Mouth she would get in Trouble. So when BIG Mouth opens it out comes a slew of DONKEY POOp ! And does look like like the DONKEY on HEE HAW !
FRANCIS
I remember but Francis was comical and what aoc is/does/says is not one bit worth anyone with common sense time.
Son Of Thunder:
“You have to wonder how such an airhead could ever get elected to Congress.”
One only needs to look at Democrat Party’s supporters.
Democrat party supporters operate strictly on emotion, with very little rational thought and who simply do not understand reality, basic economics or morality. Democrats are willing to destroy themselves and everyone around them before they will agree to compromise their failed policies and destructive fabricated lies and beliefs.
The Democrat Party wins most of their followers because they are ill-informed or have low intellect. Their propaganda or narrative works on an emotional level, not on the intellectual level.
Democrats see everything as subjective, their whole world is subjective.
To Democrats, Truth, Facts, Reality and History are all irrelevant,
If the Democrats do not WANT to believe them or they disagree with them.
Democrats will just make up their own, Truth, Facts, Reality and History to fit what they WANT to believe or fits into the Con or Deception that they are running at the time.
This is why the Court is an equal branch of government, it is not subject to the whims of legislative or executive branches, much to their consternation at times. It would seem that AOC thinks spouses of government officials are subordinate to the position holder and should not think for themselves. “Wives be subject to your husbands!” Sound familiar, that seems to be her take on the situation. Next she will ask that all justices appointed by Republicans recuse themselves.
You can bet that is next on her list.
IMPEACH a.o.c. ,
Unfortunately, stupidity is not an impeachable offence.
But isn’t treason?
IT should be, in her case.
Every time this ditz opens her mouth she proves just how stupid she really happens to be. Getting elected, and then re-elected, doesn’t say much about the intelligence of the voters in her district. God help this country if the left wing democrats keep the majority after these next two election cycles, because they are hell bent on destroying our constitutional republic.
They’re hell bent on destroying the NATION as a whole, not just its constitutional republic.
When the laptop information on hunter was being tide to biden was it not said that hunter was a private citizen and no association to biden so why should judge Thomas resign/recluse himself after all his spouse is a PRIVATE citizen and does have “freedom of speech” and has no association to judge Thomas. As usual aoc (Always Out of Control) is crying for attention. She fits without doubt saying “stupid is as stupid does”
O’Crazio is a Leftist Racist blow up doll, no more, no less.
she is a fool
I’m not sure she’s a fool; I think she’s a telegenic pawn that is getting a lot more money as a Leftist puppet than she ever imagined. Not that smart, but smart enough to know she’s being paid waaay above her skill level.
Can not discount her regardless of what a clown she is as she IS charismatic, is always getting ink and is greedy for money and power. Remember, they laughed at Hitler.
AND who are more stupid.. HER or the idiots who VOTED for her!
Ms Cortez is one of the manifestations of the putrid conditions infesting our great country. As an immigrant, for me the USA has always been the magnet of hope. My father, who brought us to this great nation and loved our adopted land, always said that the USA started its long, but steady descent, with the banning of prayer in schools in 1962.
We have become more narcissistic in the last fifty years and our children have been the principal victims.
It is immaterial what the imbecillic Cortez says. She could not clean the shoes of the great Justice Thomas. The opprezzed Ms Cortez was so “victimized”, from living in Westchester County, attending Boston College, and becoming a Congress babe. For me this is not about Justice Thomas but how can this great country elect such dangerous, moronic and narcissistic legislators, from this faux-president to garbage legislators.
This is the principal problem. Let’s wake up America before it is too late. May God shed His Grace on this magnificent land!
That’s right Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife was exercising her 1st Amendment right when she was stating and expressing her opinion/political views concerning the 2020 election. AOC on the other hand continues to make a lot of noise because when she is eligible, she is going to run for President of the USA!
MY God! Biden WAS right! We need a regime change–but in the USA….
Can’t somebody get this woman out of Congress? Perhaps cut off all the Soros’ money keeping her and the other Marxists in office?
Honest American middle of the road voters have no power any more.
Alexandria Obviously Communist is the one who needs to be impeached. Along with Nazi PeeLousy, Maxine Mudbrain Waters, Sheila Jacka**-Lee and a lot of others I could name.
