Plain speak: The wife of a Supreme Court judge attempted to help overthrow our government.

[fightforfreedom]

That shit doesn't even happen in the movies. Anybody who says Clarence didn't know what his wife was up to, is delusional. Nobody would believe be that. Clarence knew what he wife was doing, which means he attempted to overthrow our government.

[SheltieLover]

1. Yup

[brush]

2. What pisses me off is there will probably be no...

consequences. Just as with trump, these seditionist criminals keep getting away with it.

trump is not the smartest guy but there's always some weak link in the chain to indict, who for some reason, doesn't follow through on indicting the bastard.

And that includes unfortunately, a couple of Democrats in the Manhattan DA office.

3. No other way to interpret that.

He is guilty and should resign, though he won't. He might not even be in the hospital. Either way, I hope he falls off the bench in disgrace as he deserves. Ginny needs to see life in a prison cell as her future.

4. The knowing or not by Justice Thomas is irrelevant

The knowing or not by Justice Thomas is irrelevant. What is known is sufficient to prove the coup was not anti-fa.

The fact is that an actual (not-attempted) coup, thankfully failed, against the 200-plus years of USA Constitutional democratic peaceful transfer of power history, went as high as the White House and a Supreme Court Justice's bedroom.

5. His lone vote against turning over the evidence is the proof! Any jury would convict, I believe.nt

[usonian]

8. And there would be appeals of the conviction ...

all the way to the SC.

Interesting.

[fightforfreedom]

10. Correct, thank you.

Everybody knows Clarence knew what his wife was doing.

[hamsterjill]

27. Not only knew

But was most likely directing her actions.

[fightforfreedom]

28. They were working together, It's ridiculous to believe anything else.

[hamsterjill]

33. Absolutely.

He was advising her on exactly how and how far to push the envelope.

[uponit7771]

29. +1,

[GoodRaisin]

6. Yeah, let that sink in.

The cesspool of corruption that America has become. Sickening.

[lagomorph777]

7. Yup.

Get him to testify on TV for the Jan 6th committee.

[kacekwl]

11. That be great if televised

hearings ever happen.

[MLAA]

9. Right on.

A president (lower case intentional), a chief of staff (lower case intentional), members of congress (lower case intentional) and a supreme court justice (lower case intentional) attempted a coup while the rest of the republicans in leadership/media/state governments continue their feeble efforts to cover it up and/or normalize it.

[PufPuf23]

12. Clarence Thomas also knows exactly who he works for and

it is not for a majority of American people nor humanity for that matter.

We are getting played for fools.

[fightforfreedom]

13. I agree.

[bringthePaine]

14. what a sewer of malfeasance! refuKKKchicken criminal infestation must be purged

[AZLD4Candidate]

15. Abe Fortas was drummed off the SCOTUS for even less.

[fightforfreedom]

17. Tell me more please.

[AZLD4Candidate]

21. Abe Fortas, as a SCOTUS justice, was helping to campaign for a Democrat in 1968

He he broke tradition of a SCOTUS justice not being involved in politics.

The right wing made a huge stink about it, and he resigned instead of facing an impeachment hearing.

All he did was campaign for people he supported legally, which the right wing said compromised his impartiality.

I doubt that's as bad as having an immediate relative help organize and leave a paper trial for a coup.

[fightforfreedom]

23. Thank you.

16. We are seeing first hand how corruption at the top in Russia has undermined all of government.

Money Putin thought was being spent on the military ended up in the pocket of those in charge. We’ve always been soft on white-collar crime, but the open corruption that Trump ushered into the White House made others like Ginni Thomas more open with their corruption. There is no doubt that the Trump administration was primarily corrupt, documented by people forced out for serious ethics violations, investigations resulting in criminal indictments and convictions, and the grifting from taxpayers that was a hallmark of Trump’s presidency.

And rather than repudiate the corruption, the Republican Party now supports it and is extending it throughout the red states. The corruption of Governor Abbott and his administration in Texas is just breathtaking. While lying about fixing the Texas energy grid, which he did not, he takes millions in donations to do the bidding of Big Oil. There’s no way of knowing how much he rakes in under the table.

Corruption will be the undoing of democracy because it cannot long exist in a country where voters can get rid of the corrupt lawmakers. That’s why Republicans have passed their voter nullification laws to protect their own corruption.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Thank you for your intelligent and highly readable post, my dear Lonestarblue!

I truly appreciate what you've written.

I would urge you to post this as an OP. It deserves to be widely seen and read.

[librechik]

18. And Hubby helped!

The corruption...it burns.

Anyway, something is burning. Can't make out whether it's a US flag or the confederate flag.

Clarence "Uncle" Thomas--forget about your krazy.karen wife.

Whose side are you on?

[YoshidaYui]

19. WHERE IS THE DOJ on this???

are there any lawyers who think this is not a crime??

[maxsolomon]

31. I'm not a lawyer.

It is unethical, but I do not see what crime Ginni Thomas committed. She was just a chorus member with Mark Meadow's mobile #. She did not falsify election documents, she didn't invade the Capital.

She just spouted conspiratorial bullshit (which is just par for the course in the GQP) with no regard for her husband's position.

[fightforfreedom]

34. Part of a conspiracy to over throw the government is not a crime.

Is that what you are saying? A supreme court judge and his wife were part of a conspiracy to over throw our country. Trump was going to the Supreme Court attempting to over throw the country. Clarence and his wife were helping him, trying to protect him. WTF!

[maxsolomon]

37. Tell me what the crime is. Specifically.

Only a few militia leaders have been charged with conspiracy with regards to J6. Most of the convictions and arrests are the pawns who trespassed at the Capitol. No big fish have paid any price whatsoever, and none will, because a conviction for sedition and conspiracy is such a high bar. Not one of Trump's lawyers have been disbarred, no False Electors have been prosecuted.

I didn't say conspiracy to overthrow the Govt isn't a crime. I said I don't see that G. Thomas crossed that legal line. I don't see that Clarence Thomas did anything except be the dickhead he has always been.

WTF yourself.

20. We might be headed to judging our SC Judges on a yearly basis

Yearly review by the American Bar Assn. reporting to Congress might help in getting rid of people who are
not equipped to effectually sit on the SCOTUS. Yes I know our laws currently do not favor such a thing, but with
all the shenanigans and beer drinking going on with members of the SC, it's ripe for change.

I've always said who wants to go into a court room and the first thing the Judge asks you is
"Are you a Democrat or Republican?" and that decides your guilt or innocence. R's are stacking the courts
with far-right Judges for a reason, and that's probably to take all power away from Democrats. Rs have seated
a lot of Judges who the ABA said were not qualified.

Time to "nip it in the bud"

35. George Carlin left this earth way to early

Wish he could give us thoughts on the current BS we are experiencing right now.

[Buckeyeblue]

24. Yes

[IronLionZion]

26. Who's going to impeach Clarence Thomas?

we probably have the votes, and maybe enough senators to convict. Or pressure him to resign since he's never going to die.

[maxsolomon]

32. We don't have the votes to impeach Thomas

Where are you getting that idea?

[IronLionZion]

36. Dems are the majority

[Carlitos Brigante]

30. I'd love to be proven wrong. But I can almost guaran-damn-tee no one in leadership. Nor

any midterm political ads will say that. Sure, maybe some super-pac. But wouldn't put it past Democratic leadership to apologize and disavow it.
