SUPREME COURT JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS HAS TO GO

By Law Ware

Another day, another ethics complaint against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

In 1991, when President George H. W. Bush nominated Thomas to succeed retiring Associate Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, we learned during the confirmation hearings about the alleged sexual harassment that Anita Hill endured while they both worked at the Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The evidence against him was overwhelming and persuasive, but despite very convincing testimony given by Hill to the Senate Judiciary Committee, he was still appointed to the Supreme Court by a vote of 52-48, what was then considered the narrowest of margins. That is damning. But seeing how Brett Kavanaugh was appointed on a vote of 50-48, an even narrower margin in 2018, despite clear evidence of sexual harassment, it seems to be par for the course.

Apparently, conservative men can sexually harass women with impunity. Allegedly. Their careers do not suffer because of it. In fact, they are promoted despite it.

Then there are the shenanigans, and by shenanigans I mean complicit acts to overturn an election, that Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife engages in.

Virginia “Ginni” Thomas could have lived a quiet and charmed life. She could’ve been the overly silent partner in the Thomas household, a feat that would’ve likely been impossible considering Justice Thomas’ known silence on the bench. But Ginni Thomas is loud. Annoyingly loud. So loud that she has no problem championing the causes she believes in – which all seem to be in perfect alignment with far-right conservative values, and it’s confusing, considering her husband sits on the highest court in the land.

She is, to no surprise if you pay attention to the decisions her husband writes, a very vocal and boisterous conservative activist. She not only works with groups who have submitted briefs that go before the Supreme Court, but she also had dealings with Leonard Leo, a conservative judicial activist who reportedly worked to influence the federal courts.

The Washington Post reported that Leonard ordered $25,000 be given to Ginni through a nonprofit group he advises without reporting that he did. So let’s say she didn’t work for him. Kind of like when I was in high school shoveling cow manure at my cousin’s farm – I wasn’t an employee, but I helped and got paid off the books, or “under the table.”
