1/ Media is all in w/ Democrats’ partisan lawfare agenda to force Justice Thomas to recuse in Trump-related cases. "The Democrats are inventing recusal standards in an effort to shrink the Court to have their preferred Justices decide cases," Mark Paoletta told Fox News Digital.

2/Democrats push baseless recusal arguments & "memory-hole” case where Left’s judicial ethics experts defended liberal judge who didn’t recuse from hearing appeal on same sex marriage ban even though his wife’s ACLU chapter joined briefs in district court.
3/ Responding to @RepHankJohnson's baseless call for Justice Thomas to recuse.
@RepHankJohnson Responding to @AOC's baseless call for Justice Thomas to recuse.
@RepHankJohnson @AOC Responding to @tribelaw baseless claim that Justice Thomas is violating the statutory provision (28 U.S.C. 455) on recusals:

1/Good @WSJ @greg_ip story on @RussVought. Honored to work w/ him at OMB to implement @realDonaldTrump agenda, despite resistance from bureaucrats & political appointees. Russ is correct that we need “body blows on the [agencies’] notion of independence.”
wsj.com/politics/polic…
2/Presidents are elected & accountable, not bureaucrats nor even political appointees. Presidents have right to expect & demand executive branch faithfully work to implement President’s agenda - not Congressional Committee’s agenda, nor special interests, nor own personal agenda.
3/@RussVought did superb job as OMB Director to use levers to implement POTUS agenda, but we learned many lessons. In next Trump Admin, Schedule F needs to be implemented to make bureaucracy accountable, & political appointees need to be vetted & promptly fired if obstructing.

1/ Justice Thomas haters are lying in claiming Ginni Thomas was "intimately involved" in post- election events leading up to Jan 6th. She complied w/ J6 Committee document request & was interviewed for 4 hours. @BennieGThompson did not mention her ONCE in 845 page report.
2/ Ginni Thomas’ name was not mentioned once in the many J6 Committee hearings. Justice Thomas has no reason to recuse from Trump-related or January 6th related cases because of his wife’s political activities. Thus, he has a duty to sit on those cases.

The End.
3/Thanks to Pres. Trump, the Left doesn’t control Court anymore. They’re worried Court won’t rule in their favor so they resort to gutter tactics to take out justices they view as antagonistic by any means necessary to create Court more favorable to their politics. It won’t work.

1/@RepRaskin, you are 100% wrong. There is no basis for Justice Thomas to recuse from Trump-related cases because of his wife’s views on 2020 elections. She isn’t a party, nor a lawyer involved w/ case, nor has an “interest” in these cases for recusal purposes.
2/Left supported liberal Judge Reinhardt not recusing from appeal on California same-sex marriage ban even though his wife’s ACLU chapter joined 2 briefs in court below arguing for ban to be struck down. She publicly opposed to ban. And he ruled – just like she advocated.
3/ Reinhardt wrote: “[M]y wife and I share many fundamental interests by virtue of our marriage, but her views regarding issues of public significance are her own, and cannot be imputed to me, no matter how prominently she expresses them.”

1/@ZJMontague has zero evidence in story that Justice Thomas complained about his pay or threatened to resign over that or anything else. I’ve known Thomas well since 1989 & have never heard him complain about his pay or threaten to resign. This is agenda-driven “reporting."

1/ NEW: The Left always smears Justice Thomas but a privately published book by retired Fairfax County police officer John Harris shows the REAL Clarence Thomas. Harris met Justice Thomas & his wife Ginni when he was assigned to protect them during 1991 confirmation. Image
2/ John Harris: “I asked Clarence one time, why he treats me so nice and why are we friends. I’m just a police officer and you’re a Supreme Court Justice. He told me and I quote, 'Unless you can walk on water, we are all created equal, we all have different jobs in life.'” Image
3/ Justice Thomas and his wife Ginni “both thanked me for looking after them while the press was camped out in front of their house.”

1/ @RepHankJohnson’s call for Justice Thomas to recuse from Jack Smith case is baseless and partisan. There is no reason for Thomas to recuse because of his wife’s political views. The Left is trying to shrink the Court to have only preferred Justices hear case.
2/ A spouse can express views on issues that may come before court. Such views aren't an “interest” that requires recusal. Professor Gillers defended liberal Judge Reinhardt not recusing from case where wife’s org (ACLU chapter) filed brief in court below.
thefederalist.com/2022/10/10/no-…
3/ California adopted ban on same-sex marriages in constitution. Reinhardt’s wife was head of ACLU chapter that joined 2 briefs in court below opposing ban. She was vocal opposing ban. Case came before Reinhardt on appeal & he did not recuse. Liberal ethics experts defended him.
