Justice Clarence Thomas' wife sent texts of misinformation to Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows, but it's unclear what it means for the Justice.
In the days following the 2020 election, Ginni Thomas, a conservative activist and the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, sent numerous texts to Donald Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows. Her goal was to get Meadows to try to overturn the 2020 election.
But were these messages enough to prompt Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from future cases involving the election before the high court? On Friday, Sen. Ron Wyden joined the chorus of criticism of Thomas saying,"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."
"Why are they obeyed by you know, the executive and Congress and so on? Because they're seen as authorized by the Constitution and having the legitimacy of the government behind them, but they can't enforce their own decisions," Jacobi said.The code of conduct for U.S. judges says a judge must disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned.
