As her husband, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, withers away in a hospital bed somewhere with mysterious “flu-like symptoms”, the wolves have begun circling around extreme right-wing activist Ginni Thomas.
According to private messages obtained by Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward and CBS News correspondent Robert Costa, Ginni repeatedly pestered ex-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about overturning Biden’s victory in the weeks following the 2020 presidential election.

The reporters got their hands on a total of 29 texts— 21 sent by her; eight by him—that reveal the two talking about how they might thwart democracy. The messages come from the 2,320 texts Meadows handed over to the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
How about we take this to the next level?

Yahoo! News reports:
The messages, which do not directly reference Justice Thomas or the Supreme Court, show for the first time how Ginni Thomas used her access to Trump’s inner circle to encourage and seek to guide the president’s strategy to overturn the election results — and how receptive and grateful Meadows said he was to receive her advice. Among Thomas’ stated goals in the messages was for lawyer Sidney Powell, who promoted incendiary and unsupported claims about the election, to become “the lead and the face” of Trump’s legal team.

Here are just a few highlights from Ginni’s totally-not-crazy-sounding texts to Meadows:
- “Biden crime family & ballot fraud co-conspirators (elected officials, bureaucrats, social media censorship mongers, fake stream media reporters, etc) are being arrested & detained for ballot fraud right now & over coming days, & will be living in barges off GITMO to face military tribunals for sedition.”
- “Mark, I wanted to text you and tell you for days you are in my prayers!! Help This Great President stand firm.”
- “Where the heck are all those who benefited by Presidents coattails?!!!”
- “Just forwarded to yr gmail an email I sent Jared this am. Sidney Powell & improved coordination now will help the cavalry come and Fraud exposed and America saved.”
The release of the messages has prompted new scrutiny into Clarence Thomas’ lone dissent in a January 6-related case earlier this year.
In January, the Supreme Court rejected ex-president Donald Trump‘s bid to block the release of certain presidential records requested by the House committee investigating the Capitol riot. Thomas was the only one of the nine justices who dissented. At the time, he provided no explanation for why he would have approved Trump’s request.
Two months ago, the Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump's request to withhold White House documents concerning the 1/6 attack, effectively green-lighting their release to the Jan. 6 committee.

In a recent interview with the Washington Free Beacon, Ginni insisted that she and her husband have their “own separate careers, and our own ideas and opinions too.”
“Clarence doesn’t discuss his work with me, and I don’t involve him in my work,” she affirmed.
Read Woodward and Costa’s full report here. And check out what folx are saying on Twitter about the whole thing…
So to recap: Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, conspired with the White House to overturn the election, then her husband voted to block investigators from seeing the evidence.
If this isn't a judicial conflict of interest, then what is?

The Ginni Thomas texts do not disappoint. Each one is crazier than the last.

Ginni Thomas and Mark Meadows need to be arrested and Clarence Thomas needs to resign.

Meadows illegally registered to vote in 2 states using a trailer home he never lived in
His wife illegally submitted 2 voter forms
Thomas turned his SCOTUS seat into a money making scheme
His wife Ginni Thomas plotted to overthrow our govt

If you think the Ginni Thomas texts are bad, wait until you learn about how Clarence Thomas successfully conspired with four other high-ranking government officials to overturn the result of the 2000 election.

While you’re here, listen to that psychotic voicemail Ginni left Anita Hill in 2010 asking her to apologize for her 1991 testimony accusing then Supreme Court nominee Thomas of sexual harassment.

Reap what you sow. I hope the chickens come home to roost and her actions cause Clarence Thomas to be remove from the court. I can’t see that happening… but, hope springs eternal.
I can guarantee that if roles were reversed, Republicans and “moderates” would have already served impeachment papers and she would be charged with sedition.

YOUR comment is 100% correct in every way

Clarence Thomas needs to resign or be impeached. There’s no way, objectively, he was not part of this esp considering he was the lone ‘no’ vote on having the national archives release the Trump WH documents. We now know why.
All the more reason to vote blue, and keep voting blue.

@MarcyMayer
The lying right wing troll account said the same thing right before the election where Biden won and Democrats took both Houses of Congress.
Your panic over the revelation of criminal sedition involving a Republican activist and her Supreme Court husband is hilarious.
ZzBomb
@Marcy, the right wing is perennially over confident in their side’s ability to take the majority. 2018 and 2020 are the most recent examples. But please, feel free to whine some more about how elections are rigged when inevitably anything doesn’t go the way you hoped.
Mr. Stadnick
They both need to go. She is a total harridan and he seems like he is her prisoner.
The Accidental Polemicist
Wow! Did you see those excerpts that were purposely leaked from the Jan. 6th Committee? Egads!
Absolutely. Nothing.
MarcyMayer
The writers at Queerty must really believe in the Wizard of Oz. Literally.
Because NOTHING will happen to Ginny or Clarence Thomas.
Bwahaha!!!
Cam
Sweetie, the fact that you’ve brought in multiple screenames to lie and claim that Ginni Thomas wasn’t trying to commit sedition and her husband didn’t commit obstruction of justice to protect her shows your panic.
Sweetie, if those texts didn’t show anything you would be bringing in all your screenames to deflect from another Criminal Republican.
Your troll game is old and weak.

Marcy the so called trans woman who is actually a cis straight white man who has been proven to be a liar every single time. He may have a woman’s first name but that does not make a straight man trans no matter how stupid a person is. His bwahaa is proof that he has no patriotism. The fact and it is a fact is that a supreme court justice tried to stop and investigation into a treasonous riot support finacncially by his wife is such an attack on our very system of government can only be supported by traitors and enemies of the state. SO bwahaha you pos. Having a tiny dick can make men act cra cra

MarcyMayer is correct. Nothing will indeed happen to Clarence and Ginny. The corrupt Republican Party however will rot from within.

The process is called “impeachment.” It’s applies not only to grossly corrupt, treasonous presidents like Don the Con, but to federal judges as well.

Uncle Clarence Thomas and the serial liar, rapist, and drunk named Brent Kavanaugh must be impeached, stat.
SFMike
Sorry but she’s not “so screwed” as Republicans never are held accountable for their crimes. This country is on the way to autocratic fascism, and nothing is going to get in their way, especially those pesky laws that are only enforced on Democrats who still believe in that silly rule of law thing that the Christian right so dislikes.

Judge Thomas is a disgrace to the court, to black people and to humanity. His and his wife’s opportunism knows no bounds and the country has suffered over 30 years with this homophobic moron on the Supreme Court. Who knows, perhaps the Senator who called for mixed-race marriages to be abolished has a point: It would be ironically delightful to see Clarence and Ginny thrown in the hoosegow on the basis of the same hatred they have been peddling for decades.
The real Bruce
BDAguy: Yeah, Justice Thomas is in the hospital with “flu-like” sickness. A guilty remorse is more like it. And probably hiding from overbearing frau Ginny. He should resign and she should be fined, jailed, or both. GOP can’t hide everything!
NateOcean
hey Ginni,
Nothing quenches ones thirsty better than a refreshing can of Coke… with a pubic hair.
Just an Clarence.

Fahd
Glad to see Gremore including Kathy Griffin’s tweet here after he did that hatchet job piece on her a while back…another never forget.
Thomas has been lying on his financial disclosure forms year after year; she’s clearly a ringleader of a group of seditionists; traitors to the U.S. constitution. (see also allegedly take the fifth John Eastman).
Why are these two getting away with this stuff?
Ronbo
If you can point out an “inconvenient truth”, then why can’t the rest of us? Are YOU the “Russian troll on an ingratiation campaign, happy to highlight discord in the U.S.” Poor Graham was just trying to smear Kathy Griffin, just like you!
Inconvenient truths are learning points. If you can understand them, then you are moving forward on the path to understandiung that there is more than what is written in your little book of hate.

This woman was admittedly in a cult before she married Justice Thomas. Then she joined her new husband in Opus Dei, the crazy radical cult working the darkest side of the Catholic Church. Go to the Washington Post and read her texts. She and Mark Meadows believed they were religious crusaders saving humanity by attempting to overturn the election. Now the years of bizarre actions of Justice Thomas come into a very clear light. He’s simply nuts married to someone equally unstable and dangerous.

Shuffle TF off this mortal coil, Uncle Clarence. And soon… time is of the essence!
Oh, what sweet schadenfreude it would be for President Joseph Biden to have the opportunity to appoint a second Supreme Court justice after the orange skidmark tainted that institution with three Federalist Society acolytes.
How about a non-Christian trans or enby person of color to replace the dried-out, self-loathing pile of excrement also known as Ginni’s husband? I’d love to see the heads of Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and so many other Trumpist/QAnon traitors in congress explode on live television when that appointment is announced.
barryaksarben
YES, no more religious fanatics on our highest court. the vast majority of Americans want to keep ROE V WADE yet these activist judges will get rid of it and then they will set their zealotry on gays and people of color
