With typical liberal cravenness, Justice Sonia Sotomayor has leapt to the defense of #ClarenceThomas, whose wife Ginni was deeply involved in Trump's #January6th conspiracy to overthrow the election and establish a personal dictatorship. 1/ thehill.com/regulation/352…
She heaped praise upon Thomas, citing trivial incidents of his acts of personal kindness, as if remembering the names of employees at the Court and sending Sotomayor flowers when her father died outweigh his countless votes for executions and his efforts to outlaw abortions. 2/
Sotomayor's defense of Thomas is not only cowardly. It is also absolutely inappropriate. The involvement of Thomas' wife in a conspiracy to overthrow the government - about which the Justice was obviously aware - raises the most serious questions about his own involvement. 3/
Had Trump succeeded in blocking the certification of Biden's electoral vote majority, the election outcome would have been referred to the Supreme Court. Thomas, a silent accomplice in his wife's conspiracy, would not have recused himself from the Court's deliberations. 4/
As in 2000, when he cast one of the deciding votes in the Court's Bush v Gore 5-4 decision that stopped the counting of Florida's ballots and stole the election for Bush, Thomas would have been in a position to throw the election to Trump. 5/
The extent of Thomas' involvement in his wife's criminal activity is a matter for criminal investigation. Sotomayor's tribute to Thomas is clearly an attempt to prejudice and preempt an investigation, and to block his impeachment and removal. 6/6
