Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ Wife Elected Ted Cruz Delegate

Even though Donald Trump won the Virginia primary by a landslide, the state’s Republicans elected to send at-large-delegates to the Republican National Convention who are much more loyal to Ted Cruz during this weekend’s state convention. Cruz supporters secured 10 of the 13-at-large Virginia delegates. One of the Cruz-supporting delegates includes Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The remaining three delegates are Trump supporters, according to The Washington Post.

She is ultra conservative, and very active about it.

He should recuse himself himself from any rulings which affect the Republican party and its candidates.

If Cruz manages to finagle the nomination, Trump sues, and it goes to the supremes. Like a bizzaro version of Bush v Gore.
