The Ginni and Clarence Thomas syndicate

The latest brouhaha surrounding Ginni Thomas should come as no surprise. She's been a right-wing extremist, just like her husband Clarence Thomas, just more shameless and loquacious. The January 6 committee is considering a subpoena, but Liz Cheney may obstruct that. We'll see, but all they have to do is slow-walk it, since the committee disappears when the GOP takes over the house after the midterms.

This should make all American patriots very angry. Although the politicization of the SCOTUS has been obvious at least since Antonin Scalia was appointed, it has reached a new apotheosis with the Trump appointees. Anchoring this is Clarence Thomas, whose shameless partisanship will be exercised on matters that concern his wife's actions.

Here's the nut graf from a paywalled piece over at TPM:

"The Thomases have for decades been indifferent to the need for Justices and their spouses to maintain at least some remove from active partisan politics. But attempts to overthrow the state itself are by definition not legitimate political activity. You cannot be a guardian of the constitution if you have also made war on it."
