Re: Before SCOTUS rules on Trump's 2024 eligibility (action needed)

Friend, [sign the petition: Clarence Thomas must recuse himself in the Colorado Trump case.]( [Sign the petition]( Donald Trump has been [disqualified]( from the Colorado ballot for his role in the January 6 insurrection. Trump has [appealed]( that decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. There is a justice, however, with a glaring conflict of interest who has no business ruling on this case: Justice Clarence Thomas. Thomas’ wife, Ginni Thomas, was [actively involved]( in the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. This raises serious questions of Clarence Thomas’ impartiality. His recusal is also what is required under the [code of ethics]( that the Supreme Court itself recently created and adopted. [Sign the petition to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas: Recuse yourself.]( [Sign the petition]( Thanks for all you do, Erin Tulley, Daily Kos P.S. Below is an email we sent out earlier calling on Thomas to recuse himself: --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, [sign the petition: Clarence Thomas must recuse himself in Donald Trump's appeal of Colorado ruling that kicked him off the ballot.]( [Sign the petition]( The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump's involvement in the January 6th insurrection makes him ineligible to run for president. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution, written after the Civil War to prevent ex-Confederates from holding public office, applies here. While the decision is historic and consequential, the [ruling is solid]( on both the facts and the law. But the case will now go to the U.S. Supreme Court, where it may get overturned. Justice Clarence Thomas [has no business]( hearing this case and should recuse himself. His wife, Ginni, was actively involved in the effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election. [Sign the petition: Clarence Thomas must recuse himself when the case gets appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.]( [Sign the petition]( After Joe Biden had won Arizona and Wisconsin, Ginni Thomas [pressured legislators]( in [both states]( to appoint a rival slate of electors to award these states to Donald Trump. She also regularly contacted Trump's chief of staff [Mark Meadows]( in a series of text messages after the 2020 election and before January 6, urging him to “help this Great President stand firm." Judges must recuse themselves from cases where their impartiality may be questioned. This is especially important at the U.S. Supreme Court, which will likely have the final say on this matter. Given the nature of this case, Ginni Thomas' overt advocacy that led to the January 6th insurrection makes it clear that her husband cannot rule on Donald Trump's eligibility.
