You know the left wants him gone. Justice Clarence Thomas has long been a target of liberal America. They hoped he would die during his recent week-long hospitalization. The justice experienced some flu-like symptoms, but he pulled through. The left can't get rid of him. He has a lifetime appointment. Justice Thomas probably is hated more by left-wingers than late-Justice Antonin Scalia, which is saying something; Justice Scalia is, and will forever be, viewed as a fascist by the left. It's their loss. He was probably the most brilliant member of the Supreme Court, and he had a healthy disposition regarding differing views with his colleagues. Anyway, I digress. The latest controversy to involve Justice Thomas isn't about him. It's about his wife, Ginni, who sent some texts to then-Trump White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.
From the liberal media coverage, you'd think this woman was plotting a coup. She wasn't. In fact, there is nothing illegal about the texts. There's no there-there—which is why this story never took off. Ginni Thomas is well-known among conservatives. She's had a long career in media as well, but this is true inside the ballpark material. No one really cares about the spouses of Supreme Court justices outside of the DC beltway. That's not a knock on her at all. It's the reason why this really isn't a bombshell story, though the left is trying to find anything to impeach Justice Thomas.
That's the "raging addiction" Jonathan Turley was alluding to in his blog post about this latest impeachment fever gripping the left. It was the war cry for the Sunday Morning Talk Shows last week. It will probably return after we come back to Earth post-Oscars, which turned out to be the most chaotic in years after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock over a joke about his wife.
Here's what caused the left to freak out about Ginni Thomas (via WaPo):
Virginia Thomas, a conservative activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, repeatedly pressed White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in a series of urgent text exchanges in the critical weeks after the vote, according to copies of the messages obtained by The Washington Post and CBS News.
The messages — 29 in all — reveal an extraordinary pipeline between Virginia Thomas, who goes by Ginni, and President Donald Trump’s top aide during a period when Trump and his allies were vowing to go to the Supreme Court in an effort to negate the election results.
On Nov. 10, after news organizations had projected Joe Biden the winner based on state vote totals, Thomas wrote to Meadows: “Help This Great President stand firm, Mark!!!...You are the leader, with him, who is standing for America’s constitutional governance at the precipice. The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History.”
When Meadows wrote to Thomas on Nov. 24, the White House chief of staff invoked God to describe the effort to overturn the election. “This is a fight of good versus evil,” Meadows wrote. “Evil always looks like the victor until the King of Kings triumphs. Do not grow weary in well doing. The fight continues. I have staked my career on it. Well at least my time in DC on it.”
Thomas replied: “Thank you!! Needed that! This plus a conversation with my best friend just now… I will try to keep holding on. America is worth it!”
It is unclear to whom Thomas was referring.
The messages, which do not directly reference Justice Thomas or the Supreme Court, show for the first time how Ginni Thomas used her access to Trump’s inner circle to promote and seek to guide the president’s strategy to overturn the election results — and how receptive and grateful Meadows said he was to receive her advice.

Meadows’s attorney, George Terwilliger III, confirmed the existence of the 29 messages between his client and Thomas. In reviewing the substance of the messages Wednesday, he said that neither he nor Meadows would comment on individual texts. But, Terwilliger added, “nothing about the text messages presents any legal issues.”
That's a lot of paragraphs to say that two top conservatives discussed the 2020 election—nothing more. What's really going on here? The left is a bunch of idiots, but even the ones in their legal circles must know the Code of Judicial Conduct is not adhered to by Supreme Court justices. You can argue that it should, but for now—it's discretionary. Congress hasn't mandated it. So, there's really no case against Thomas. This is all about liberals being upset that Thomas was the dissenting vote in the 8-1 decision regarding a lawsuit filed by Trump's folks which tried to block the release of all communications relating to January 6 to the select committee, a Democratic dog and pony show that's investigating this little riot.

It boils down to the same old reasons, folks. The left doesn't like black people who stray off the liberal plantation. And they really don't like it when they marry a white person. Over the past few years, we've seen this "white people are evil" narrative leech into marriage and adoption. White people shouldn't adopt kids of color because that's neo-colonialism or white savior complex feeding. You don't think that view creeps into interracial marriage? It's funny how the left's solution for unwanted kids or kids whose parents can't take care of them is to leave them in a perpetual state of purgatory because they don't want white families adopting them. It's a massive pile of nuance. Not all bad—but you know there's a crazy leftist who thinks that interracial marriage shouldn't be a thing. Folks, we have colleges having quasi-apartheid policies of nonwhites-only spaces and dorms. That ethos infects all.
With Thomas, it's a peculiar irritation that two conservatives, one white and one black, married.
"That's our thing," says the left. Remember, in these circles, only the left can do them. It's not for conservatives. This is one of those items. Yet, I think that most of it stems from progressives' unhealthy obsession and hatred of Justice Thomas, which explains this Hail Mary throw. The Select Committee on January 6 is looking to interview Ginni Thomas. She should refuse. There's no crime here, and what she said in the 29 texts to Meadows isn't fringe. To this day, there are millions of voters who think the 2020 race was tilted or rigged. Former Attorney General William Barr has now openly admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop, Joe Biden's lies about it and the shoddy letter from dozens of intelligence officials calling it Russian disinformation probably tipped the balance. The liberal media suffocating the story that we all knew was true had an impact as well. The secretaries of states from key swing states illegally altering voting procedures for the 2020 cycle without the consent of the state legislatures was another point of contention. That's the real steal if you want to make that argument.
Justice Thomas is being punished for being smart, being conservative, and being madly in love with a white woman. Liberals must inflict misery on their enemies, and that goes double for people of color and women who happen to hold right-leaning views.
Some could argue that racism is at play here. It just fits the bill. You almost can't make this up.
The anti-fascists are…fascists.
The anti-racists adopt policies of racial segregation—and most of the people behind all these cuckoo initiatives are the whitest, wealthiest and most privileged in America.
Thomas grew up in rural poverty to become one of the most distinguished legal minds in the country, hence his seating in the Supreme Court. That's yet another reason why the left hates him. It shows their whole narrative about America, its society, and its founding are historically fraudulent.
