"As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for several days, she refused," Alito says of the upside down American flag that flew in his yard in January 2021.

"I do not want to cross my wife! She'll hang me faster than an upside down flag!" - Alito probably
"If I piss off my wife she starts chanting 'Hang Mike Pence!' and makes me sleep in the RV! " - Thomas probably

SCOTUS dragging out a decision on T****'s immunity just may be because it could cost certain justices and their wives hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
Another consideration is the justices' concern for their own safety after the reaction to the Dobbs decision. No justices were harmed at all, only fearful.

Number One Item: "The Ginni Effect"
( US Supreme )

"Ginni Thomas, the justice’s conservative activist wife, is not just aligned with Trump’s rhetoric: She has close ties to Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election."

Mark Robinson's secret meeting with Ginni Thomas raises questions

Not long after the Jan. 6 riot, Thomas and North Carolina's controversial lieutenant governor held a mysterious meeting with a right-wing organization.
...
But the meeting ... fills in some details about the extent of [Ginni's] organizing since Jan. 6, 2021 — which has been largely, but not completely, out of public view.

#House #Democrats ask #ClarenceThomas to #recuse from #SupremeCourt review of #Colorado ballot/14th amend. case. "Your wife was one of 9 board members for a #conservative political group that helped lead the ‘Stop the Steal’ movement, a movement which culminated in the #Jan6 attack.." Of course he will not do so. #democracy #constitution #ethics #legalresearch #corruption #financialdisclosures #insurrection #GinniThomas

Here’s a thought.

Did Clarence Thomas advise/aid #Trump on the #insurrection, either directly or through his wife ?

2024 Predictions

  1. There'll be new revelations in the role of in the insurrection.

  2. New calls for to recuse himself in cases.

  3. Clarence Thomas WILL recuse himself, but will cite as his law clerk as the reason, NOT because of Ginni.

  4. stories will fill TV screens.

Jay Kuo on the Supreme Court's toothless new PR window-dressing ethics code:

"If you’re going to abide by a solid set of ethical rules that governs the behavior of your group, it’s a mistake to have the group itself craft it. ...

For the Supreme Court to truly be accountable, an outside, independent body needs to step in to impose the rules."

"The Supreme Court’s new ethics code is a joke The code is so weak that it serves to legitimize Clarence Thomas’s corruption. It is literally worse than nothing."

"Yesterday, the Supreme Court announced an ethics code for the justices. But the code is utterly empty. It has no enforcement mechanism and no mechanism for the public to lodge complaints of misconduct.

It’s public relations pablum.

The court effectively admitted this…."

~ Robert Reich

If Leonard Leo, Harlan Crow, and their multibillionaire Federalist Society cohorts think that they can get away with buying conservative Supreme Court justices, they’re absolutely right. They can. And they have.

Who's really running the country? Leonard Leo, Ginni Thomas, the corrupt Supremes they've bought, and their super-rich backers:

"From those early discussions among Leo, Thomas and Crow would spring a billion-dollar force that has helped remake the judiciary and overturn longstanding legal precedents on abortion, affirmative action and many other issues."

~ Heidi Przybyla
