Women's March Demands Holding Husbands Accountable If They Can't Control Their Wives; Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Faces Calls For Hearings, Recusal, Resignation For Wife’s Texts About 2020 Election

Women's March Demands Holding Husbands Accountable If They Can't Control Their Wives:
This strange new leftist feminism is heady stuff.
First, it decided to erase the existence of women. Now it's going back to a 17th-century approach in which men are the guardians of their wives and can be held accountable for their political views.
The Women's March is calling for the impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas after the release of text messages showing his wife, Ginni Thomas, pushed for then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to stick to efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

"The revelations that Ginni Thomas advocated for the overthrow of our democracy are disqualifying — not just for her as a human being of any decency, but for her husband Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas," Women's March Executive Director Rachel O' Leary Carmona said in a statement.
The political views of women are disqualifying for their husbands? Awesome precedent. Can anyone explain the feminist ideal at work here? --->READ MORE HERE

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Faces Calls For Hearings, Recusal, Resignation For Wife’s Texts About 2020 Election:
Topline: Text messages between Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and ex-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows encouraging attempts to overturn the 2020 election have come under scrutiny on Capitol Hill, as lawmakers push for the justice to recuse himself from election-related cases—or resign—and advocacy groups urge Congress to hold hearings on the court’s ethical practices.
  • Reports published Thursday that Ginni Thomas repeatedly urged Meadows to try to overturn the election sparked widespread criticism from Democratic lawmakers—particularly after Thomas participated in a case concerning whether documents should be released to the House January 6 committee and was the lone dissenter. 
  •  Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) called for Thomas to be impeached and lawmakers including Reps. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) and Nydia Velasquez (D-N.Y.) urged him to resign, while Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) said Thomas “dishonors the Supreme Court.” 
  •  Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) called Friday for the justice to recuse himself from cases not only related to the House’s January 6 investigation, but also any future cases involving the 2024 election. 
  •  More than 30 advocacy organizations—including MoveOn, the American Federation of Teachers and Indivisible—sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee Friday calling for it to “immediately” hold a hearing on imposing a code of ethics for the Supreme Court in light of Ginni Thomas’ text messages, as justices aren’t bound to follow the one in place for lower federal judges.
