Wyden: Justice Thomas should recuse himself from Jan. 6 and 2024 election cases
By Jordain Carney - 03/25/22 12:12 PM EDT

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) on Friday said Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from any cases involving the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and, if former President Trump runs again, cases related to the 2024 election.

Thomas is facing growing ethics questions amid reports that this wife, Ginni Thomas, urged then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to make an aggressive effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Wyden said Clarence Thomas's "conduct on the Supreme Court looks increasingly corrupt" in the wake of the new reporting.


“At the bare minimum, Justice Thomas needs to recuse himself from any case related to the January 6th investigation, and should Donald Trump run again, any case related to the 2024 election," Wyden added.

Wyden is one of the first Democratic senators to call on Thomas to recuse himself since news broke Thursday of Ginni Thomas's outreach to top members of Trump's orbit. But critics have been raising concerns that Ginni Thomas’s political activity poses an ethically troubling overlap with her husband’s judicial position.

So he's basically saying that Ginni Thomas' opinion isn't independent of her husband's? That she's not a separate person?

How misogynistic and neanderthal.

And since she's black, racist too.

That is what came to my mind immediately. My hubby and I didn't share like political beliefs either.

Point of clarification:
Mrs. Thomas is as white as the snow...

She's actually not black.  That's another reason why the libs hate Thomas and his wife.

Ah, now it all makes sense.
