1/Enjoyed discussing w/ @SteveBannon_1 @WarRoom why Constitution provides immunity for POTUS for official acts. How could Left argue otherwise? Because Left is so deluded they also were 100% certain Court would disqualify @realDonaldTrump under 14th A. rumble.com/v4rqlat-mark-p… 2/Court rejected this ridiculous 14 A. argument by a vote of 9-0. There were ZERO votes for this baseless, lawless, partisan argument. The Left lives in a bubble. They better be ready for another dose of reality - POTUS has immunity from criminal prosecutions for official acts.

1/Congrats to my friend Justice Clarence Thomas, who stands alone today as 10th longest serving Supreme Court Justice in our nation’s history - 32 years & 173 days, w/ 750(+) written opinions. He’s our greatest Justice & greatest living American. #GOAT 2/Justice Thomas was undaunted when the Left & Dems tried to destroy him w/ smears & lies during his confirmation hearings and has remained undaunted in face of constant despicable attacks since he joined the Court. #UNDAUNTED

1/Judge Jim Ho had zero reason to recuse in case w/ @ADFLegal acting as counsel b/c his wife previously was paid honoraria by ADL for speeches. Allyson Ho wasn’t involved in case & has no “interest” in it. The Left invents recusal standards to smear judges they don’t like.

2/ Allyson Ho is superstar lawyer who has argued 100(+) cases, including 5 at SCOTUS. She has given speeches at ADF and donated all honoraria paid to her by ADF to charities. She has done no legal work for ADF. There is no reason for Judge Ho to recuse.

1/In Congressional transcribed interview, Jason Galanis recounted being sexually assaulted & sexually harassed by correctional officer at Pensacola prison camp. @RepAndyBiggsAZ announced Committee would investigate. Democrat staff did not ask one Q about this terrible abuse. 2/ Jason Galanis also laid out evidence that SDNY retaliated against him when he sought home confinement under CARES Act. @RepAndyBiggsAZ also said Committee will investigate this retaliation.

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.

https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1755179253249753549

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.'”

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.

https://twitter.com/RepHankJohnson/status/1736786049152565654

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.

1/My latest on @ProPublica’s upcoming smear job on Justice Clarence Thomas, attacking Jud Conf 2012 ruling that Thomas hadn’t failed to disclose info on trips. ProPublica never mentioned in its 1st hit job & now trying to cover for egregious omission.
thefederalist.com/2023/12/11/pro… 2/Thomas was entitled to rely on this ruling. Otherwise, what’s point of Conference? @propublica @eisingerj @JustinElliott @js_kaplan @BrettMmurphy funded by left wing billionaires who hate Thomas & want to undermine Court b/c no longer acting as leftwing super legislature.

1/ALERT to every Justice & Federal Judge: If you visited the home of family member (parent, son/daughter, sibling) over Thanksgiving & that home is in an LLC or trust structure, you must report that trip on your disclosure form. It’s absurd but now required for any visit. 2/Judicial Conference’s new rules don’t provide for “family exception” for staying at family member’s home (in LLC/trust) under new definition of “personal hospitality.” Even if that’s only purpose of LLC/trust & the adult child/parent owns that LLC/trust. What a stupid rule.

1/NEW: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s husband, Dr. Patrick Jackson, has been nominated to DC Judicial Disabilities and Tenure Commission, w/ power to suspend, retire or remove judges in DC Court system & provide oversight of judges whose opinions may come before his spouse. 2/ Dr. Jackson has provided expert testimony for clients in litigation, perhaps in DC Court system, but he failed to mention this work in hearing with DC Council when asked if he would have any conflict of interest. He only disclosed he was a Dr. at Georgetown Univ. Hospital.

1/@SenWhitehouse hatred of originalist Justices & lawyers may originate from his abysmal performance as AG before Court in 2001 in Rhode Island v. Palazzollo. Whitehouse was embarrassed by CJ Rehnquist and J. Scalia (text/audio below) & outlawyered by Jim Burling @PacificLegal 2/Palazzollo argued “Landowners should have the right to sue government when their property is taken without just compensation.” But R.I. won at trial court & state Supreme Court & victory looked solid for State. Until @SenWhitehouse took over case.

1/@SenWhitehouse & @SenatorDurbin attacks on Justice Thomas must end. @SenJudiciaryGOP should request subpoena for info related to RBG accepting award from billionaire Morris Kahn-funded group, Genesis Foundation, while his case was pending before Court. 2/Democrats didn’t care when RBG accepted all-expense paid trip to Tel Aviv from Genesis Foundation & vacation in Middle East from Kahn, shortly after ruling in Kahn’s favor.

genesisprize.org/press-center/2…

1/8 @SenatorDurbin isn't telling truth when he claims he negotiated in good faith w Harlan Crow regarding production of info. On June 12, Crow lawyer offered 5 yrs of data on trips.
Durbin didn't respond to Crow offer for 4 months, then rejected it on Oct. 5th. @SenJudiciaryGOP 2/ Crow made offer to provide information more than 1 month before Committee mark-up of SCERT bill on July 20th.

@SenatorDurbin didn't engage in any negotiations nor make any counteroffer before rejecting Crow offer. This is complete bad faith.

1/7 “You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you. .” @SenSchumer in March 2020 threatening Justices Gorsuch & Kavanaugh on abortion case. It’s not about ethics, it’s about Democrats trying to control Court.

https://x.com/MarkPaoletta/status/1718275032059629627?s=20

2/ @SenatorDurbin & @SenWhitehouse are implementing @SenSchumer's “whirlwind” & “price" with these thuggish subpoenas on Crow and Leo. But these subpoenas are an unconstitutional overreach and will fail in Senate. @SenJudiciaryGOP

1/24 Here we go again, Democrats & media allies are smearing Justice Thomas b/c his friend loaned him money in 1999 to purchase RV. Both Thomas & friend say loan was satisfied. Attacks on Thomas are unprecedented & prove Left wants to destroy Court b/c it’s no longer liberal. 2/Loan secured by RV so didn’t need to be reported. Thomas didn’t try to hide loan either b/c nothing wrong w/ it. He listed friend as lienholder on RV title long after loan terms satisfied in 2008. Friend listed until 2023 when press found hunting for things to attack Thomas.

1/ @SpeakerJohnson calling out @SenSchumer for threatening Justices Gorsuch & Kavanaugh on Louisiana abortion case (June Medical). Speaker Johnson represented state of Louisiana as trial court litigator on this exact case before he was elected to Congress. @JudiciaryGOP 2/@SpeakerJohnson says it’s “staggering” @SenSchumer would make such a threat. Johnson made remarks at hearing in April 2022. He said Democrats are “continuing to bully & intimidate the Supreme Court now that there is a conservative majority.”

1/This is a lie. @POTUS Biden didn’t take “principled stand” against Bork. He said he would support Bork until Leftwing groups blasted him. Then, Biden smeared Bork. Here’s @ishapiro @WSJopinion on Biden’s craven cave to Left’s demands to destroy Bork.
