‘Holy Smoking Gun!’: Americans Calling for Impeachment of Justice Thomas Over Emails Uncovered With Ron DeSantis

By

We reported yesterday that Politico obtained a quote from Ginni Thomas, wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, saying that “my husband” has been in contact with Governor Ron DeSantis recently.

This is a jaw-dropping revelation made by a woman who is done with the Constitution of the United States, done with the idea of the rule of law, done with having anyone lead who is not named Donald Trump, and she is most certainly done with anything to do with judicial ethics or old notions about conflicts of interest.

We were not the only ones to take interest in Justice Thomas’s obvious impeachable offense (there is no reason for a Supreme Court Justice to be in contact with a governor, especially one as politically volatile as DeSantis). Rolling Stone took note, too:

Friday’s report is sure to raise questions about whether DeSantis communicated with Clarence Thomas about, say, vaccine mandate cases that came before the court last month. The Biden administration’s mandate for health care workers was upheld in a 5-4 ruling, with Thomas dissenting, while the mandate for large businesses was overturned 6-3, with Thomas in the majority. DeSantis opposed both mandates.

Helen Aguirre Ferré, the executive director of the Republican Party of Florida, told Politico, “I can’t speak about any private conversations Governor DeSantis may or may not have had with anyone but both he and Justice Thomas believe in the separation of powers and defend individual liberty, the law and the Constitution as written.”

Then they should not be communicating and thus it should be easy to say, “there has been no communication between the Governor and the Justice.”

DeSantis’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Rolling Stone.

Again, it should be easy to “comment.” Say they have not been communicating.

Twitter had a lot of comments:
