Progressives gather 1.2 million signatures calling for Justice Thomas’ impeachment:
A progressive group delivered a petition signed by more than 1.2 million people to Democratic lawmakers on Thursday, calling for the impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
MoveOn.org held an event showcasing the exchange in front of the Supreme Court.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, Minnesota Democrat, welcomed the activists, saying the court would be delegitimized if lawmakers don’t act to remove Justice Thomas from the bench.
“Let me be clear, Clarence Thomas is a corrupt jurist and should have no place on our highest court. Clarence Thomas for the past three decades worked in tandem with his wife from the bench to decide cases that were in lockstep with his wife’s political disputes,” Ms. Omar said. “There is no way Clarence Thomas should be seen as a neutral jurist.”
A spokesperson for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether the House is seriously considering impeachment hearings.
Ms. Omar also called for liberal justices to be added to the bench by President Biden, a call progressives have made since conservatives captured a 6-3 majority on the bench because of President Trump’s three recent appointments. --->READ MORE HERE
Omar, Bowman, far-left activists call for Clarence Thomas to be impeached:
Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., joined far-left activists Thursday in calling for the impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
The Democrats joined the groups MoveOn and We Demand Justice in front of the Supreme Court to deliver a petition to impeach Thomas that has racked up over 1.2 million signatures.
"Let me be clear, Clarence Thomas is a corrupt jurist and should have no place on our highest court," Omar said in a speech at the event. "Clarence Thomas for the past three decades worked in tandem with his wife from the bench, to decide cases that were in lockstep with his wife's political pursuits.
"There is no way Clarence Thomas can be seen as a neutral jurist and should not decide cases while his wife actively worked to overturn the election," she continued. "Our failure to hold him accountable will further delegitimize the court and will embolden other justices to act in lockstep with his actions. Clarence Thomas is too compromised to sit on the court, and that's why I was the first member of Congress to call for his impeachment." --->READ MORE HERE
