Ginni Thomas Email Praised Group Opposing SCOTUS Reform

Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, privately heaped praise on religious-rights group First Liberty Institute for fighting efforts to reform the Supreme Court — efforts sparked, in large part, by her husband’s ethical lapses. The group’s leader, Kelly Shackelford, also attacked Justice Elena Kagan as “treasonous” for backing a stronger ethics code.

Thomas expressed her appreciation for the group’s anti-reform work in an email sent to Shackelford. He read Thomas’ email aloud on a July 31 private call with his group’s top donors. ProPublica and Documented obtained that recording.

She accused Kagan of being treasonous? WTF! We're so backwards from where we were 20 - 25 years ago.

[Oswaldfiveo]

She is a criminal. She and her husband should be in prison.

How can you tell when your country is fully run by American oligarchs?

The Thomas’ need to be far away from anything to do with government or influence.

These people are just the worst and most corrupt

Thank you ProPublica. Your investigative news reporting is at the forefront for me. Though on a modest fixed income, I've even donated to support the excellent work you do.

Treasonous, judge Kagen? Please! Your husband and others on the court define the term all too clearly. Time for Ginni to go to jail alongside her husband.

lol..."First Liberty"?! Shame on you Ginni!

[tommcfadden]

[greatestoneeva]

Why didn't Ginni and Clarence Thomas have children, of their own. Natural order of the universe, prevented two demon seeds from spawning, a monster. Give thanks.

[billstieh]

Thomas and Alito Must be Removed from the bench!!?⚖️

[TammyPowell-qdoo]

Term limits for Supreme Court justices! Better vetting for Supreme Court justices! Laws that remove rogue Supreme Court justices! Prison for Clarence and Ginny Thomas!

[squadiodatamj]

She'd rather go to jail than neglect sending her thoughtfully penned thank-you notes and messages of encouragement. She has a firm handle on her role as a token-wife in her shiny world.

[oehthyl]

Prison is where this couple belongs. Disgusting and disgraceful abuse of power and position.

[evilish]

Yo Ginni, there's a farm missing a chunky oinker Scurry along please, find your pen

She is the reincarnation of the prison guard from Seven Beauties. Soulless Sisters.
