I think we need to know if he's still in the hospital first Walleye Mar 2022 #2
He's out JenniferJuniper Mar 2022 #14
So they finally had to make a statement, good Walleye Mar 2022 #15
I would be waiting to be sure he wasn't seriously ill dsc Mar 2022 #3
He was released today so I doubt he's seriously ill. Marius25 Mar 2022 #19
He was in the hospital for twice as long as I was for my heart attack dsc Mar 2022 #23
I'd assume he wouldn't be released if they were concerned though. Marius25 Mar 2022 #26

Sit down and shut up you traitor. Why your nothing but a super-compromised Republican hack. Shame on you for that.

Why would Roberts (or any of the Justices) known that Thomas had sent all those emails to Meadows?

..just now on Morning Joe! Even Joe strongly disagreed. But Woodward insisted that "The Left" is just as guilty as Ginny Thomas. OMG. I know Woodward is Republican, but what a stupid thing to say.

And, as you saw, he really believes it & wouldn't back down. It undercuts much of his work.

I don’t want to be disappointed in them! I’m a lifelong 100% Dem. But good grief, can any of them just please do something!!!!

Dick Durban’s demeanor when Ted Cruz was questioning Ketanji Jackson was so lifeless. He should have told Cruz to stop talking and when he didn’t, had him removed.

Nothing is happening with Trump. Please don’t bother to say “you don’t know what is happening because they don’t make their intentions known” unless you have some concrete facts where Dems are working to put Trump in jail.

What are they doing about this Ginni Thomas stuff!!!!

Dems need to get loud, obnoxious and boisterous in my opinion, and I’m just not seeing it.

They need to fight!

I do enough to be able to sleep at night. I work to get Dems elected.

I am not an elected official, and I’m really tired of these types of complaints. It is the JOBS of these elected officials, who are paid salaries, to defend Democratic principles. Gaslighting away from that serves no purpose.

We have no chance of forcing him out of office, but we can put him in the spotlight and make him squirm.

or some other useful legislation passed. If there was a path to get rid of Thomas, we should do it. but there is no such path. He fucking cheated on his taxes. Ginny and dear hubby attend right-wing shit...it has been going on for years. And there is not a damn thing we can do about it...sadly.

Clarence Thomas can do whatever he fucking wants to do and he knows Republicans will not hold hom accountable.

I could see Roberts resigning over this before I see Thomas resigning. He may not want his name associated with this court.
