Trump Lawyers Saw Justice Thomas As Key To Overturning Election Results

[jeffreywhitmoyer]

In the end MOST Judges etc. will serve their oath. Thomas and Cannon for example are at a minimum highly suspect due to their actions thus far. There should be a readily available process for removing those who don't follow their oath, including Supreme Court Justices.

[proudsocialist]

It's clearly time for Justice Thomas to be removed. This is a conflict of interest, and he fails to recuse himself.

[shinykazzadragon]

If you still belong to the group that is intent on harming the rest of the people, you are complicit in the harm being done.

[FirstClassVO]

Gee whiz. Can't imagine why they assumed Thomas would be receptive to their cause. Just can't puzzle that out. 🙄

[Basillikos]

Clarence Thomas remaining on the Supreme Court despite his incredibly questionable track record for bending over backwards for certain people and even being cited as the key to these conspiracies is quite the indictment on the whole point of the Judicial Branch.

[markushayes]

SCOTUS term limits ASAP! The amount of power they have is outrageous.

[johnpolion]

Thomas needs to be charged and held accountable cause he is a corrupt judge

[knioutom]

UNCLE THOMAS MUST BE IMPEACHED !!!

[brianedwards]

Attaching the word "justice" to Uncle Thomas is the most ironic use of the word since hominids first used vocal signals.

[gdewyg]

It would be an insult to American justice system for Trump to get away with his accountability despite evidence

[vikkideissler]

Is just me or not having supreme court justice for life. How about we have terms! If the American people voted now, he would be a BIG FAT NO

[tvdinner]

It's time he was removed. So sad we cannot trust the highest court in the land.

[joerogain]

Herschel Walker reminds me of Clarence Thomas!

[stephenhenion]

I was Afraid of all the Crap that Trump might do in the 90 days after the election. All of his 3rd world plans were way more than I imagined. This guy is our Worst Nightmare! Vote BLUEWAVE 🌊🌊

[DavidAsset]

If Justice Roberts doesn't understand why people think the Supreme Court is viewed as political, he needs to review Clarence Thomas' record, just this past year on the court. After that, he needs to read the Eastman e-mails to get an understanding of just how politically-motivated Trump's appointments to SCOTUS were. After doing so, Roberts hopefully won't deliver anymore speeches in which in sounds foolishly naive and out of touch.

IQ45 "All I want is 11780 votes". DOJ "All you get is 11780 days".

[lancewilliams]

This clown is compromised, he needs to be removed from the bench, he needs a be held accountable for his actions in this on going investigation,

[democracyforall]

Of course they he is the most corrupt....a blind man could see that

[bingbong]

He is still working for Trump, the Supreme Court is a punchline now.

[castmansion]

Judge Thomas a shame for the Nation, a shame for democracy, a shame for the Americans peoples, a shame for the Supreme Court. Impeachment him!!🤧
