Petition Calling for Impeachment of Clarence Thomas Nears 500,000 Signatures. (((as of Wednesday))

A petition calling for the resignation or impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is nearing half a million signatures after he refused to recuse himself from a case that was a clear conflict of interest due to his wife’s right-wing activism.

Ginni Thomas, a frequent advocate for far right causes, texted former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows at least 29 times after the 2020 presidential election, urging him to seek means to overturn the results.
When a case involving Meadows’s documents and communications while in the White House made its way to the Supreme Court, eight of the justices affirmed the right of the January 6 House select committee investigating the Capitol attack to obtain them. Clarence Thomas was the only justice who voted against allowing the documents to be handed over to investigators.

Critics of the justice’s dissenting opinion said that he should not have been involved in the case at all, as the documents likely included the texts his wife sent to Meadows, implicating her in the plot by Trump loyalists to overturn President Joe Biden’s win — making the case a clear conflict of interest. High Court justices are encouraged, but not required, to recuse themselves from “any proceeding in which his [or her] impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”

Because of Clarence Thomas’s refusal to recuse himself from this case and others involving his wife, the progressive advocacy organization MoveOn.org has called for the justice to resign. If he doesn’t resign, they say in their petition, Congress should impeach him.

In their complaint, which is not binding in any way, MoveOn also took note of Thomas’s recent involvement in the Supreme Court case Dobbs v. Jackson, which overturned nearly 50 years of abortion rights protections.

“The right-wing rigged Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last week, effectively taking away the right to privacy and bodily autonomy that’s been considered legal precedent for the past 50 years,” the organization wrote.
“Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas — who sided with the majority on overturning Roe — made
it clear what’s next: to overturn high court rulings that establish gay rights and contraception rights.”

Thomas’s unethical conduct warranted his removal from the Court, the organization went on.

“It has become clear that [Thomas’s] wife…was actively urging the White House to overturn election results both leading up to January 6 and after the deadly insurrection.
Thomas’ failure to recuse himself warrants immediate investigation and heightened alarm,” MoveOn said.

“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,” the organization added. “He must resign — or Congress must immediately investigate and impeach.”

As of 2 pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, the petition had garnered more than 455,000 signatures — around 45,000 short of its goal of 500,000.

A majority of Americans back the central tenets of the petition.
A poll conducted jointly by Demand Justice and Heart Research Associates, published earlier this month, found that 61 percent of Americans would favor a congressional investigation into Clarence Thomas due to his refusal to recuse from the case involving his wife.
Fifty-three percent also believed that the justice should recuse himself from all future cases involving the 2020 election, due to Ginni Thomas’s campaign to overturn the election results.

Swell...so smart to rid the court of a leftie.

At the same time lefties wanna impeach three righties.

And some want the entire SCOTUS scrapped completely.

All because of a decision that will be up to the states to decide, one which they already had the rights to do in the first place.

This country is so screwed up.

More than 700K sign petition calling for Clarence Thomas to be impeached.

More than 700,000 people have signed a petition calling for Justice Clarence Thomas to be impeached following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The petition, made by the liberal advocacy group MoveOn, was created after the Supreme Court overturned Roe in its Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, and while controversy swirls around his wife, Ginni Thomas’s, political activism.

It has more than 786,000 signatures as of Friday evening.

The petition noted that Thomas was among the majority of justices who ruled that there was not a constitutional right to an abortion and alluded to his concurring opinion in that case, in which he suggested the Supreme Court should revisit cases that established the right to contraceptive access
and same-sex marriage.

The petition also blasted Thomas for not recusing himself in cases relating to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot after news reports surfaced that Ginni Thomas had reached out to Arizona state lawmakers urging them to reject the 2020 election results and had contacted former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows over rejecting the last election’s outcome.

“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,” a statement on the petition page reads.

“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. He must resign—or Congress must immediately investigate and impeach.”

Some lawmakers, have said that Supreme Court justices should be impeached if they were misleading on their answers on Roe v. Wade during their confirmation hearings.

“If we allow Supreme Court nominees to lie under oath and secure lifetime appointments to the highest court of the land and then issue — without basis,
if you read these opinions — rulings that deeply undermine the human civil rights of the majority
of Americans, we must see that through.”

That's as far as i read .. I already know why he's hated and they want him gone

There are all kindsa petitions floating all over the net.. The entire country could sign a petition and it wouldn't matter in the least. That and a dollar wouldn't get you a coffee anywhere.. They're simply worthless

Pretending for a minute that they're worth a shit .. 500,000 is a drop in a bucket of the population .. Who would believe that a fraction of 1% of the population signing a form, would induce the impeachment of a SCOTUS judge?
