Chief Justice Must Enforce A Code Of Ethics For Supreme Court
I don't even know why anything is reported on about these rich, powerful people when they break the law because nothing ever happens to them... there's only a justice system for the 95% of Americans that aren't millionaires/billionaires.....
Yep. NYT admits the Hunter laptop story is real. Weird it’s been “misinformation” and banned from social media monopoly for so long. Who knew misinformation might be abused for censorship.
Well maybe you should understand what serfdom is. Maybe you need to understand why you exist. As a free person. Generations made you a free person.
Agreed. 100%.
Crooked laws in America made for the rich and powerful that's why Trump hasn't gone down yet but he will I'm sure of it.
@alphonza blackman In prisons for profit and forced to work for $.08 cents an hour. Plantation economies have no shelf life in America.
It should begin with Thomas’ resignation. Sure, he is not his wife. She is not his chattel. But the fact that his was the sole dissent in the legally undoubted matter of the release of WH documents show that he is severely compromised. The conflict of interest is such that he must resign.
Never happen Commie.
Ginni Thomas is a private Citizen.
She can say whatever she wants to say.
Didn't bother you when all these people falsely accused our President TRUMP of being a Russian Agent.
Didn't bother you when Hillary called the 2016 ELECTION
-- stolen -- and said TRUMP was a illegitimate President.
@@christopherhillman3551 Don't worry, we are keeping an eye on you. Your phone, we listen and watch you thru your TVs, we have spoken to your neighbors, We have planes and helicopters fly over at different times of day and night. We will be like your momma when you were just a baby and asleep in your crib. We are there. We care. Be calm, be well, sleep soundly.
You are a complete smoothbrain!!
Sorry Laird.
It only means that he had a different opinion, which he wrote down.
That is his job.
This will be a huge stained in the courts if they let this man stay! Zero credibility for sure!!
Nobody I know thinks the Supreme Court is impartial.
@Bill P Or the one I have the most trouble with is trying to be non judgemental.
@Bill P it's hard to be impartial when you are the the bottom of a shoe.
@Bill P yeah, either you are like 12 years old or that's when your brain stopped developing.
Justice Roberts should force Clarence Thomas to resign!
Why? She and millions of others have questions.oooo scary.
@@abigalanderson7494 I'll try to simplify. Not because she has questions (whether their legitimate or not), but because Justice Thomas should CERTAINLY recuse himself from any case dealing with his own wife's possible involvement in an investigation. If SCOTUS nominee, KBJ is currently being asked to recuse herself from cases involving her alma mater, then it's obvious that justices should also be expected to recuse from cases involving their spouse.
That said, I'm not sure a chief justice can force resignation. I think they have to be removed by impeachment in Congress.
@@hoosieraussis1 Which Mitch McConell will never allow to happen, cuz he would loose one of his conservative justices...
How?
What's the code of Ethics? I thought not being being married to a seditionist would be a given for anyone working on the Supreme Court. Either rewrite the code or bring the spouse up on charges of treason. Oh, she's Republican so she's special.
She thinks she’s special… but she’s really just a corruption to American democracy .
Part of her party position.
How do you know the behavior was unethical? Are you an ethics-ologist?
Y’all act like democrats weren’t frantically texting one another about how they could overturn the 2016 election.
Y’know, like when Hillary Clinton paid her lawyers to give fake dirt to a Russian who was then used as a source for the Steele dossier that Clinton paid for.
The complete lack of self awareness from the left is insane. You are all literal npcs who are so far detached from reality that you can’t be saved.
Literally everything they told you to make you hate trump has been 100% proven false and you’re still trusting the propagandists who fed it to you.
Fake dossiers, fake Fisa warrants and Thomas's wife's personal opinions as a private citizen worries you? Her opinions had no bearing on the election outcome. Nice try but this Democrat bit of chicanery won't hunt. Lol!
@@janetprice85 her opinions as a private citizen? Like going through the back door by texting the president's chief man and talking about doing an insurrection encouraging it all the way! You brainwashed cultists are sickening and you can bet if a Democrat judges wife did the same you all would be screaming for resignation.... HYPOCRITE.
Don't rely on the integrity of Justice Roberts. State the wheels of impeachment. Then maybe Roberts will act.
Congress certainly could act, via impeachment of Justice Thomas.
Manchin and Sinema would block it
As for ignorance, the last time I looked, the senate was a part of congress, one of the two houses, to be specific. Also the senate needs a two-thirds majority to convict, so Manchin and Sinema would need at least 17 republicans to join them.
He deserves to be impeached
Pointless
Down through history spouses have taken over for deceased Senators and Representives (males). Congress realized they talked and shared information. They were given a pass. There is no exception here. He knew what she was doing. He needs to step down. Let's be honest and true to ourselves. I'm a black republican,but this isn't right.
Well, I am an old, saggy, female, independent moderate. Are you in an intimate relationship? Do you let your partner encourage you to break the law? When your partner breaks the law, are you responsible? Your partner is not required by law to believe the way you do. Judges, lawyers, and elected officials are supposed to have the personal fortitude to do what is legal. If a partners idea is good and legal, no problem. Nothing wrong with receiving wisdom. If it is illegal, they are not supposed to go along.
Why are people assuming that he is easily swayed? Is it because they are? He has not been able to respond to the slander because he has been in the hospital. Shouldn’t you have not rushed to judge, like the left does, and waited to hear from all sides? Is what his wife did even illegal? Al Gore called for a recount and he wasn’t judged a subversive. An election in Florida was recently overturned by a judge. If I remember correctly a person who formerly held the office did some illegal things. The media implies there is never any fraud in elections. They are liars. Maybe not enough to change the outcome, but people have been convicted.
The news media is just supposed to report facts. They are not supposed to manipulate them. That is why I call them paparazzi. They are in it for money and power now.
@@conniead5206 Gore won the state of FL's EC count too in the recount. Sandra Day O'Connor denied FL's right to vote by being the 4th and final vote for W V Gore's standing based on briefs from Roberts and others at the Federalist Society. She wanted a pro-lifer before retiring.¨[never mind that 9/11 thing (3400 dead), or Katrina (1100 dead) or fake Iraq war (5000 dead Americans and 500,000 dead Iraqis) they are pro-life]. Greg Palast wrote of this. Jeb's AG or Sec o State purged 125,000 voters without informing them, mostly black. They were given provisional ballots which are never counted. I'm overseas and voted absentee since 1996 for FL-22. My ballots were not registered in 2004, 2008, and nobody's counted in 2000 so I quit. America matched Denmark on the GINI ratio for income disparity in 1976, when US was still a Democracy.
@@conniead5206 2 of the judgements he has made, which were the ONLY dissenting judgements of the entire, have clearly demonstrated that he is clearly compromised by his wife's actions.
What is clear judging from Ginni Thomas's texts is that she should be subject to an involuntary psychiatric assessment as she is clearly mentally deranged.
Please seek therapy for your self-loathing, because no self-respecting person of color is a Republican.
@@conniead5206 , you said all of that and none of it addresses the actual issue which is that Justice Thomas failed to recuse himself from participating in a legal case involving the release of communications for which he knew at the very least his wife had a telephone number of very high ranking individual in the WH.
He needs to be removed from the Supreme Court and both of them and their supporters and senators and congress people who all violated must be removed and put in jail
The sexual predator son of a b**** should never been appointed in the first place
Klan loving bigots at it again.
"There are no rules in war" is the key. This is the story they are telling themselves to justify their behavior.
Which goes against our economic goals of America first.
There are more registered Democrats than Republicans. They simply want to "discard" half of the US electorate...
So much for the "honor" system for supreme court judges. All other judges have written rules, but not the supreme court.
@@johnathandavis3693 , whole point is that NONE of them should be political appointees 🙄
@@76482 Possibly not, but it's very hard for voters to be familiar with judicial candidates. And so-called "dark money" would badly affect judicial selection, probably even more than it does already. Judging from our voting history of the last 50-70 years, I'm afraid too many people are disinterested in following WHO would be a qualified judge. Many are barely interested in who their representatives are.
Hunter Biden's laptop meme seems very weak beer now does it not? But I note an increase in the trolls and their tweets.
The wife of a Justice? THE WIFE? And a Chief Of Staff to the outgoing President? Now that is a TV series of at least 10 episodes right there.
BUTHISLAPTOP is the new BUTHEREMAILS.
As stupid as the "laptop" thing was a few years back, I NEVER thought the laptop wasn't real. The idiots think it's a brand new NUCLEAR KNOCK-OUT DEATH-WEAPON that will finally annihilate The Democratic Party. It is right up there with the "Nunes memo" (giggle) and the Durham Report that just evaporated....
@@johnathandavis3693 They're also gloating like an established American election pattern is somehow a Mandate of Heaven for Baby Cheesus. I can't wait until the Zombie MAGApocalypse Committee gets televised.
It's just the tip of the corruption in our government, which I fear is why majority of Republicans are against Jan 6 Investigation Committee. This is so much more serious than Watergate and it is still going on beneath our very noses.
@@steppenwolf3252 yes because 1/3 of the republican were either in on it or helped it along after the election. When 1/3 of a political part go along with this attempt to overthrow the election system we are in more trouble as a nation then we realize.
People used to joke that purging Republicans are a legitimate form of self-defense. Sadly Its not a joke anymore :(
@Alain Lemieux neither are you, Alain or should I say Ivan.
"Purging"? You mean acting on the requirements of law enforcement and ethical oversight to hold criminals accountable? Yeah, that was never a joke. That was absolutely plan A. Since 1788.
This is a clear conflict of interest. Thomas sided against releasing documents that could reasonably contain documents from his wife.
Speaking of documents... WOW!!! NYT admits the Hunter laptop story is real. Weird it’s been “misinformation” and banned from social media monopoly for so long. Who knew misinformation might be abused for censorship.
@@TowardTreatise What an absolutely amateur troll you are to cut and paste the same tired untrue comment repeatedly on this page, I hope you get paid in Rubles because that worthless check is going to bounce and no vodka for you next week.
@@christopherhillman3551 Yes, could. That's enough to present a clear, reasonable conflict of interest. Enough that he should have recused himself. Especially since we see from her own records that Justice Thomas was highly likely aware of her communications with Meadows. This is not a criminal case against Thomas, I'm saying conflict of interest. Different burdens of proof.
@@lazersly
Mr Fool. A conflict of interest does NOT stop you from having your OWN PERSONAL VIEWS.
Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni can have their own views and state them publicly.
Clarence is still a
Constitutional Judge. Clarence is
loyal to the
United States Constitution 🇺🇸.
Clarence Thomas has a proven record at this point.
A inconvenient truth LibTurd. People in America have the RIGHT to disagree with you and that does NOT automatically mean a conflict of interest and it certainly does NOT mean a crime has been committed.
*Clarence is smart enough to disagree personally and still do his job objectively.*
*That is called being a*
*Professional*

MAGA.
I saw it waaaay back at the flawed confirmation hearing for judge Thomas. Thomas is unsuited for the SC and should have retired yesterday.
You are right. He never should have been allowed into the Supreme Court.
@@darlene6531 Hi racist.
@@jimeagle5509 Hi ignorance.
I saw the same about the former incompetent Leader.
RIGHT ON KEN! I did too! The whole Anita Hill investigation proved he was unsuited for such an important life time job. We must have standard code of ethics--not only for our Supreme Court (Judicial Branch), but also for Executive and Legislative branches.
How about just upholding the Constitution. That’d be super cool.
You can start by realizing
Ginni Thomas is a Private Citizen and can say whatever she wants to.
Freedom of speech.
@@christopherhillman3551 yes. Freedom of speech is under assault in our nation and we need to win that fight. The essence of my “Political Art” playlist is a great strategy to do just that. We have to laugh at these radical idiots to win.
@@TowardTreatise
I understand that but the Liberals think that anytime you disagree with them you are committing a crime.
Hillary said the 2016 Election was stolen and President TRUMP is a illegitimate President.
Did Democrats think that was a crime? It's perfectly fine when the Democrats spread conspiracy theories or say things that are incendiary.
@@christopherhillman3551 but they do care about being laughed at. And that’s why “Political Art” is the way for today.
@@TowardTreatise
Fair enough.
WAY past time to end life long appointments for ALL supreme justices and figure out how to not make ANY of them political appointees. We need true constitutional scholars that may or may not have been former judges. Plus keep legislators out of the entire process.
While I do agree with ridding the 'life time appointment' portion the alternative to political appointment is to turn it into a straight up politcal posiotion. Elected judges are not a good thing.
A good reform would be to refrom the selection process and have a number of hard criteria that need to be met before a candidate makes it to the short list.
Have the criteria added at each level of judge, with requirements that can only be met while at the previous rank.
...
Oh and eefinately make part of the process that the relevent bar societies actually approve of the candidate being promoted.
that's why these people goes around Laughing when a person decease mainly an African American
@@Kathdath I really like your point about the bar ratifying the approval process. Of course we all know if that we’re the case the bar it’s self would turn far more political than it already is. Unfortunately there is just no way to remove bad faith actors from processes that result in power. Rotten deviousness is a common commodity that gnawes at institutions with any influence. Character is utterly undervalued in favour of experience, qualifications and of course political leanings - this of course will never change sadly.
@@NebraskaGonvilleJones the thing is you actually want a judiciary to be conservative (actual definition version, not the American one). The USA require a number of social reforms, but to attempt to enact them in isolation leaves them doomed.
Why is the judiciary generally trusted and respected in the rest of the Anglosphere yet so polarised in the USA?
I'm sure they will be jumping all over that and congressional term limits.
To all the original idealist questioners of the Supreme Court, when the Supreme Court was founded there were 13 states and each one of those States had a representative on the Supreme Court.
Who would have thought that a member of the Supreme Court would turn out to be a Benedict Arnold? If the rot has gone that far, the game is over.
His wife isn’t on the Supreme Court.
Isn’t the correct defense. So what she’s not a supreme justice. When defending family members of those in office ?
Like hunter Biden
@@superdave4029 lol, prove something on hunter... and when did he try to overthrow the government, because that is what Thomas's wife has tried to do.
@@superdave4029 You find nothing wrong with Republican nepotism. What a shocker.
@@DaleHartley she’s not a justice and doesn’t work for the government.
That excuse works for Biden.
@@TooBadThatDidntKillMe if you don’t find anything wrong with democrat nepotism. Then why should I care about republican nepotism ?
Hopefully Cruz will keep that same energy and expect Thomas to recuse himself just like he (Cruz) asked Judge Jackson.

Bold prediction: The Chief Justice is going to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Absolutely 👍
Thomas must resign immediately or be removed via impeachment now, not months from now like the rest of our failing system of justice, looking at you DOJ. Can we see some accountability?
For what crime? Wrong think?
Ginny should have been in the hospital instead of Clarence! Justice Kennedy resigned to protect his son. Thomas needs to resign to take care of his "best friend ". You may not want to question his credibility, but you should certainly question his LOYALTY to his "friend "!
A lifetime appointment.
Clarence Thomas wife, Ginni, has a legal RIGHT to publicly state her beliefs.
@@christopherhillman3551 She WASN'T public. She HAS been public before. But these texts were not meant to be public, because they were an ILLEGAL effort to interfere with a LEGAL election. She wanted to NULLIFY MY VOTES and the votes of millions of legal United States CITIZENS. She knew that and didn't care because she wanted HER WAY, like a thief wanting to steal someone else's money.

They are trying to prove a
Donald TRUMP conspiracy but if it were true everyone would know about it by now.

That is true but to prove a Insurrection by the standards of the LAW is very difficult to do.
Looks like Joe gets another pick for the Supreme Court Justice. 2 for 2. Republicans don't say "Go Brandon" say "Go Biden" he's going 2 for 2. 😂.
In their dreams. A private citizen's private texts aren't relevant no matter who their husband are. And Thomas isn't going anywhere. But every member of Congress involved in Clinton's phony dossier and phony impeachment to hide their illegal grifting will.
Probably not unless Thomas's health problems become too serious. Having a crazy wife and incorrect opinions are not impeachable offenses.

This is why Ginni is not supposed to be talking to Meadows/Trump campaign period. She can vote but as the wife of a Supreme Court Justice, her texts to Mark Meadows are inappropriate. Same goes for all 9 Supreme Court Justices, no matter which party.
SO LET'S HAVE IN PELOSI'S HUSBAND AND ASK HIM AND EVERY OTHER DEMOCRAT CROOKS SPOUSE ABOUT INSIDER TRADING, CLINTON'S LIES, UKRAINIAN BUSINESS DEALS OF THEIR CHILDREN,ETC,ETC,ETC.
Time to set residence and hold seditionists accountable and Impeach Clarence Thomas!!
What would the charges be? There have only ever been 15 federal judges impeached before, having an insane wife and an unpopular/incorrect opinion are not really impeachable offenses.
Impeachment is proper and required.
As all of this unfolds, I can't help but think that these people weren't actually that gullible, but that they had a motive behind all of it all along. To think, that some of the highest ranked respected individuals, who are supposedly are very intelligent, bought into a lie without any real evidence, that just doesn't feel right. I believe they had alternative motives all along and the proof is in their wallets. All of these individuals are corporate owners or have big stakes in corporations. I believe they actually did know the 2020 election was a fare, but they did it because of their corporate interests and connections. I think they calculated that as long as Donald Trump was in office, acting as their corporate leader, they could continue to fleece Americans. Take for example the Federalist group that gave Donald Trump a list of judges to replace supreme court judges that passed away. Each one of them were chosen because of their links to corporate money and interests. Donald Trump even admitted he put them in the position to work for him. And, when it comes to religion and personal choices, that's why Amy Barrett was on the list. Religion is big money, it's not a salvation for humans. According to the words of Jesus and the Bible, "Split wood, I am there. Lift up a rock, you will find me says ". You don't need a church to love or worship your savor, but there's sure a lot of big money making churches in this country. I've read that Pastor Kevin Copeland's had a net worth at $760 million? And this guy recently told his followers that he needs them to pay for another airplane that costs 54 million dollars. If you look at what holdings these people have it becomes pretty clear they need certain people in office to maintain their status and wealth. If you didn't notice earlier this year, but almost every Republican and two Democrats (who I actually believe are really conservatives and they lie when they ran for the Democrat positions), shot down raising taxes on the rich to pay for the costs of giving child credits, cleaning up our planet, etc. in the bill present by President Joe Biden. Just think about it for a minute. Do you really believe they were gullible about the lie or were they doing it for their own personal benefit?
Brilliant observation.

And here I was concerned about 'the handmaiden' being unduly influenced by her 'spiritual advisor' (her husband) while making SCOTUS judgements and all this time we have probably had judge Thomas being influenced by his radical GQP conspiracy spreading wife.

@@christopherhillman3551 Yes, she has a right to free speech as is guaranteed her in the Constitution even if her opinions are based on loony conspiracy theories.

We don't need to start clouding the specific issue by piling on politics, that's what foreign trolls and Trumpsters always do to redirect narratives and make noise so that people lose focus and stray off of focus. Not recusing was wrong no matter which Justice or political affiliation.
Hear that, Ginni? Yeah you. You were just labeled “unhinged” on a major news network. Own it.
When the wife of a prominent judge acts like Ginni Thomas did, there are 2 scenarios.
1 The husband has no control over an unhinged wife.
2 The husband knows what is going on and does nothing to prevent it.
Either way, the judge is a risk factor and is out of place in the SC.
Lol! Yes, because these jackasses backed Joe. Real experts? No! Partisan fools and bigots.
It should've started with her husband's perverted behavior. Should have believed Anita🤷♀️
Thomas has always been the worst and laziest justice on the court for his entire reign. He's an embarrassment. The three newest are nearly equally so, but for different reasons. Republican hypocrisy is always astoundingly obvious and outrageous.
Clarence Thomas will finally meet his Karma for what he did to Anita Hill. Justice to be served to this man.

If he made the decision to dissent in that case because of his wife, the Chief Justice must have a stern conversation with him and perhaps instruct him, if he dissents to anything in the future, to write a dissenting opinion.
It’s not the dissent that was wrong, it was the fact he did not recuse himself to begin with. He should never have been ruling on a case that covers his wife’s messages.
@@JasonBoyce agreed
I think we're way WAY past stern conversations. When Scalia was alive, he would "advise" Thomas, and give him a modicum of respect. NOW, there isn't a single justice on that court who has any respect or probably even any liking for Clarence Thomas. He just should NOT be there.
Neither should Kavanaugh. Even Mitch McConnell objected to his selection. So, as with Thomas, Kavanaugh will never be respected, same as the fool who just HAD to have him on there, Trump.
@@elainedaprano9130 spot on...
@@elainedaprano9130 This isn’t John Roberts’ Court anymore. With Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Barrett, Clarence Thomas has control of the Court. Roberts can give whatever stern conversations he wants, it won’t mean anything because Thomas has control of more justices than Roberts does.
Justice Thomas, presumably, wrote a memorandum regarding his dissenting decision in this case. What does that memorandum say? MSNBC should report on this question.
YES this exactly!!! I've been asking that same question 👏
That Clarence allowed his wife to be part of this coup should be grounds for removal. Not because a wife should do a husband's bidding but that as a Supreme Court Justice he should know it;s illegal, immoral and unAmerican and should have made that abundantly clear. Having failed to do so, he should have brought her malfeasance to the Congress and the justice department for prosecution. He is not Constitutionally bound to turn in his wife as a husband but as a Justice it is his duty. To not do so makes him complicit in insurrection and a coup. He should be removed.
You are as wrong as Clinton calling hard working Americans " deplorable" and then thinking you'll get elected even with a phony dossier. Lol!
@@janetprice85 : I didn't call "hard working Americans deplorable" or anything else. Those who attempted a coup are deplorable and unamerican.
Coup is a big stretch
@@abigalanderson7494 : I don't "coup" is a stretch in the least. It was an insurrection with intent to overthrow the elected government. How isn't relevant to the intent.
@@lrvogt1257 who tried to overthrow the gov? Of the 1 million+ people that were there to protest a few did riot and thats not ok. All the protesters wanted was the certification to be sent back to the states in question and the claims heard.
So you mean you’re telling me that this was a really bad idea. Back in the day when we closed our factories,our manufacturing plants, got rid of the union workers and the better paying jobs and sent them all overseas. I believe that’s what most middle-class people argued at the time. Now that it is hurting the bottom line of corporations it’s a problem. But when they pulled those jobs away from hard-working American people and put more money in the corporations pocket it didn’t seem to be a problem. Sometimes in this world karma takes a while to circle back and get you, unfortunately it hurts everyone. That seems to be a really hard lesson that took really too long to figure out.
Wonderful comment. "Globalism" has been one of the most cynical, destructive, anti social and soul destroying acts of the last 40 years. It has destroyed millions of working communities throughout the Western World.
As you stated, it was based solely on greed, and those responsible WILL NEVER have to pay the price for what they have done.
The corporations "went for the bottom line", bought off our governments and drove us into the ground. The bubble of endless credit and fanatical consumerism has been burst - but our Governments will refuse to admit this as long as they are owned by global banks and corporations.
This issue affects not only The United States, but dozens of western countries where a living wage is all but impossible to obtain for tens of millions of workers.
We have returned to the early 20th Century culture of "the working poor".
There are now 100 MILLION middle class Chinese citizens, and they are no longer interested in working for starvation wages.
The Covid-19 Pandemic has shown the world just how fragile, vulnerable and ill conceived is the idea of a vast, wasteful, global shipping and trucking "just in time" system.
All of this was to keep wages as low as possible, goods as cheap as possible, and profits as EXORBITANTLY HIGH as possible.
This system is now totally broken and the CORRUPT, CYNICAL, USELESS caliper of politicians that we now have throughout the Western World are both totally uninterested and incapable of rectifying any of it.
Everything now made in communist China is crap/crapola & when things were made in America like 40, 50, 60, 70 plus years ago, the whole world wanted American manufactured products because they lasted 'forever'!!
Code of ethics difficult to enforce, when it was designed for others, not yourself.
The question isn’t whether Chief Justice John Roberts will press Thomas to recuse himself more stringently in the future, the question is will Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and the handmaiden Amy Coney-Barrett also stand for integrity and propriety over party affiliation and activism.
Let's see if Roberts flakes out because Thomas has The Magic R.
Thomas and his wife didn't break any laws other than thought crime
Ginny Thomas helped plan and fund the insurrection.
Justice Clarence Thomas needs to step down.
Oooo scary thought crimes lol
SCOTUS has become a laughing stock, good for nothing except being the butt of jokes!!! Shame! Shame! Shame!
Liz Cheney should subpoena that judge, find out what he knows and deem it a conflict of interest to have him involved in a case that he was involved in ...
Congress can impeach and convict the miscreant justice.
Clarence Thomas needs to go! His wife's extracurriculars are a blatant conflict of interest!
Interest of what ?
The conversation the title is about starts at 4:15. Good job on talking about china for 4 minutes before getting to what people came here for.
GOP has lost its mind! We must band together to reject lunacy roaming around the GOP leadership. Vote blue midterms 2022 💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙
It is up to voters to safeguard American democracy
Can’t believe that his wife would fall for all of the lies and then destroy her husbands career, what a caring woman not !
His career is fine. People are allowed to question elections, even 2016 which was proven a hoax.
He has no ethics. Thats been apparent for years.
I always felt Thomas was pusky whipped. LMAO
Repugnants, corrupt, through, and through.
"We have a saying on Vulcan - Only Nixon could go to China."
THE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT AMERICA
This is criminal
Give them term and age limits. You have one on the president, on the front in. They need a annual mental health evaluation along with the physical.
The same with the president/vice president & all senators & represenitives & I say every 3 months or 90 days all be mentally evaluated as mentally fit for government!! Both parties, no excemptions!!! Agree???
If it looks and reads unethical, it is unethical.
The ethics of the Supreme Court are a reflection of the ethics of those who appointed them and those who approved their seat. Ethics have not played a big part the previous 4 years. It's time the house also had a say in who sits on the highest court in the land.
Why was this not a problem years, decades, centuries ago going back 246 years to 1776???
Impeach the USELESS JUSTICE. HE IS A DISGRACE TO THE SCOTUS.
This whole thing will be dropped cold...........investigating a supreme court justice wont happen........its unfortunate but that's how we do it................they are there for life and he will get a free pass for life on things like this.
That does not matter. The damage has been done.
GET FOOD AND WATER NOW. BEFORE THE RIOTS START AND. THE FIRES.
Justice roberts is corruptu too
I am not holding my breath that
Roberts will do anything.
His confirmation hearing was ridiculous. Anita Hill was literally savaged and broken, and she never received the consideration and investigation she deserved. To this day I hate Justices Thomas and Kavanaugh with a passion. I'm a Black woman so all the people yelling "racist" can just cram it sideways! I BELIEVED ANITA HILL and CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD and I'm proud to say it.
Amen as another proud BW!
The number of paid accts, trolls and bots in news media 'comments' sections [attempting sway public opinion about the story they've just viewed] is insane.
Sue her, judge her!
These aren't serious people
Was’t Ginny a Jan. 6 rally organizer?
Who cares?
She is her own woman.
That said?
Thomas, himself, voted NO to hide her/others messages. Period.
Resign.
Thomas desented on White House documents before we were all made aware of the lunacy of his wife's communications. Does anybody in their right mind think he was not aware of her activities?. I shouldn't have ended that sentence with a question mark. This is more appropriate...!!!!!!...
What word discribes Clarance Thomas and wife disgusting · abhorrent · repellent · repugnant · offensive,
or all the above
Great question, Joe. Equally good answer.
