, frequently visiting the Oval Office, and texting the then-president’s chief of staff with such gems as: “ … The majority knows Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History” or, “Biden crime family & ballot fraud co-conspirators … are being arrested & detained for ballot fraud right now & over coming days, & will be living in barges off GITMO [Guantanamo Bay] to face military tribunals for sedition.

It strains credulity to the point of breaking if Justice Thomas claims that he had no idea what his “best friend” Ginni was up to when she was allegedly fomenting a violent insurrection. Conservative commentators suggest that calls for the recusal, or even the removal, of Justice Thomas from the bench are unfair as spouses should be able to express opinions on issues without fear of being accused of unduly influencing their judge-spouses. But Justice Thomas’ own actions belie that complaint: Recall he was the only justice to note his dissent in the opinion that denied Trump’s ability to block the release of his White House records to the Jan.

The code of ethics that govern federal judges does not apply to Supreme Court justices, who also share life-time appointments. Ultimately it is up to the justice to decide whether recusal makes sense. Chief Justice John Roberts cannot force Justice Thomas to sit out on hearing cases, butstates that any judge of the United States “shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

Ginni Thomas’ consulting work, her vocal opinions and even more active participation in attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, her connections to several individuals who have been subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 committee and who might also be subjects of DOJ investigations, at the least require that Justice Thomas recuse himself from any cases involving the 2020 presidential election and Jan. 6.Katie S.
