SCOTUS Wife Ginni Thomas Floated Anti-Fraud Campaign For 'Questionable' Precincts
Source: TPM
Ginni Thomas, the conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, wanted to target the most questionable precincts in Virginia with an anti-voter fraud campaign, according to an October 2016 email exchange she had with a prominent voter fraud alarmist and other conservative activists.
The emails were made public Friday in the litigation over a sensational report released by the group of the alarmist, J. Christian Adams, who also served on President Trumps short-lived voter fraud commission.
Even Adams was skeptical of the idea which was also being pushed by a conservative media consultant, Demos Chrissos but not necessarily because he thought it would cross into the realm of illegal voter intimidation.
It is possible to do without violating federal law if done correctly, Adams wrote. It is NOT possible to do without unleashing a leftist whirlwind that will be designed to boomerang on us and will JUICE leftwing turnout but [sic] threatening voter suppression (a made up term with no basis in law).

Further, there are several gerrymandering cases on the court's docket. If his wife is involved in voter suppression ideas like this one, Thomas should unquestionably have to recuse himself from these cases.

The only thing positive about that marriage that I can think of, is that they both have to go home and be with each other every night.
Imagine having to look at those two dillwads every night.

(507 posts)But as a SCOTUS Wife, wouldn't it appear a bit 'sketchy' for her to be involved in anything quite like this? I don't care how much lipstick you put on this pig, or how much she distanced herself, this just doesn't seem like something anyone that has a spouse in one of the three branches of our Government would consider to be involved in. Or am I just old-fashioned? And no, I'm not even a Senior Citizen, I just had my 58th Birthday
