A former House GOP lawmaker says Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should be removed from the bench over his “unethical” behavior and taunted people to challenge him.
“Come at me. I got receipts,” Denver Riggleman posted to X, calling Thomas’ wife, Ginni Thomas, “disturbed.”
Riggleman posted in response to a clip of Donald Trump saying at a rally that “people should be put in jail for the way they talk about our judges and justices.”
“Clarence Thomas is, at the least, unethical. Should be removed from the bench. His wife, Ginni Thomas, is disturbed. Come at me. I got receipts.” Riggleman said.
Riggleman was a senior technical adviser for the January 6th committee that investigated the deadly insurrection that saw a mob of mostly Trump supporters overrun the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
In other words, he was the person who collected and analyzed the data collected from cell phones and other devices.
The filibuster doesn’t really enter into it. Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution requires a 2/3 majority to convict:
The only positive fact about Thomas’s tenure is that the guy is 76 years old. The actuary tables look worse and worse for him every year.
I want to ask “Hey, Clarence, is it true that you think your vote should only count for 3/5ths of mine?” and “is it true you think the all of the constitutional amendments were mistakes?” until he has a heart attack.
The filibuster makes it unlikely it will even be heard, that was the problem with the first Trump impeachment. They broke the filibuster the 2nd time then failed to convict.
