Clarence Thomas Faces Recusal Call From Democrats After Wife's Comment

Story by Kaitlin Lewis
September 10, 2024

"Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have called on #SupremeCourt Justice #ClarenceThomas to recuse himself from cases involving a religious legal group after his wife reportedly thanked the conservative organization for its efforts to block Supreme Court reform.

"Thomas, a conservative appointed by former President #GeorgeHWBush in 1991, has been one of the justices at the center of calls for court reform after it was revealed that he has accepted millions of dollars in gifts from some top #RepublicanDonors without disclosing the items and #LuxuryVacations to the court. Questions of Thomas' impartiality were also raised after his wife, conservative activist Ginni Thomas, pressured officials to overturn the 2020 election results in favor of former President Donald Trump.

"Investigative outlet #ProPublica first reported last week that #GinniThomas recently praised conservative legal group #FirstLibertyInstitute in an email to the firm's president and CEO, Kelly Shackelford, for the organization's work in opposing change to the High Court."

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas received millions in gifts over 20 years, group says

June 7, 2024

"#SupremeCourt #JusticeClarenceThomas has accepted more than $2 million in gifts over the last 20 years, according to a new analysis, far eclipsing the value of those received by his fellow justices.

"A report released Thursday by the advocacy group #FixTheCourt said the value of 93 gifts to all of Thomas’ fellow justices between 2004 and 2023 were totaled $248,000, while Thomas alone received 103 gifts worth $2.4 million.

"In addition to that haul, Fix the Court flagged another 101 'likely gifts' to Thomas worth nearly $1.8 million stemming from free luxury travel and lodging he received from #billionaire #HarlanCrow and others."

Looks like #KochBrothers got their money's worth!

#ClarenceThomas Secretly Participated in #KochNetwork Donor Events

Thomas has attended at least two Koch donor summits, putting him in the extraordinary position of having helped a political network that has brought multiple cases before the #SupremeCourt.

"The Koch network is among the largest and most influential political organizations of the last half century, and it’s underwritten a far-reaching campaign to influence the course of American law. In a case the Supreme Court will hear this coming term, the justices could give the network a historic victory: limiting federal agencies’ power to issue #regulations in areas ranging from the #environment to labor rights to consumer protection. After shepherding the case to the court, Koch network staff attorneys are now asking the justices to overturn a decades-old precedent. (Thomas used to support the precedent but flipped his position in recent years.)"

#SupremeCourt justices met with leader of #homophobic #HateGroup ahead of judgements on landmark #LGBTQ rights cases

Before announcing their judgement on three critical #LGBT+ rights cases, #USSupremeCourt justices #BrettKavanaugh and #SamuelAlito chose to meet with the leader of a notorious anti-LGBT+ hate group.

Nov 04 2019
Written by Emma Powys Maurice

"#Kavanaugh and #Alito met with Brian Brown, who is the co-founder of the National Organisation for Marriage (#NOM) and the president of the World Congress of Families (#WCF).

"Both groups actively campaign against basic LGBT+ rights in the US and beyond. Brown himself has long organised against LGBT+ communities, promoted harmful laws and emboldened other hate groups and extremists.

"Recently, he boasted of his close relationship with autocratic Hungarian prime minister #ViktorOrbán and met with activists in #TbilisiGeorgia, to praise them as 'men of faith' after threats of extreme violence led to #TbilisiPride being cancelled.

"Worryingly, the two Supreme Court judges seemed to indicate which side they’re likely to be on as they proudly posed for a photo alongside Brown on Tuesday, October 29.

"Although the tweet doesn’t state what the meeting was for, it was probably in connection to a major brief NOM has just filed with the US Supreme Court.

"According to NOM’s website, the brief is 'urging #SCOTUS to protect people of faith from governmental discrimination because of their belief that marriage is the union of one man and one woman'.

"This directly relates to the cases currently being considered by the Supreme Court, which will determine whether LGBT+ people are covered by existing federal laws that protect against discrimination.

"It’s not the first time Brian Brown and NOM have tried to pressure the Supreme Court on LGBT+ rights – in 2010, NOM was involved in successful efforts to oust three #Iowa Supreme Court judges who had ruled in favour of #SameSex marriage in the state.

"A day after being pictured with the Supreme Court justices, Brown was in #Ghana for a two-day conference hosted by the WCF, where he and other #AntiGay extremists sought to influence African political and religious leaders against LGBT+ rights.

"The conference was strongly condemned by the #HumanRightsCampaign for its attempts to 'further endanger #LGBTQ people, women and others in Ghana and throughout the world'.

"Speakers at the conference are said to have advocated for the adoption of public policies supporting so-called '#ConversionTherapy' and an understanding of LGBT+ people as 'deviant.'

"'We urge allies to help us shine a spotlight on the group’s hateful agenda and hold the World Congress of Families accountable by sharing news on social media about the group’s harmful messages and amplifying the positive work of local LGBTQ communities and their allies,' the #HRC warned."
