‘Raging Impeachment Addiction’

Turley, who served as a witness in the first impeachment trial of then President Donald Trump, argued that the push to impeach Justice Thomas — especially over alleged actions taken by his wife — was indicative of a culture enamored with impeachment rather than justice.

“The calls for Justice Thomas’ impeachment are entirely disconnected from any constitutional or logical foundation. Rather, the Thomas controversy shows how the impeachment mantra has become a raging impeachment addiction,” Turley tweeted.

“No, Justice Thomas did not commit an impeachable offense,” he wrote in an attached article:

It is often said that ‘if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.’ In modern American politics, it often seems like the only tool is impeachment and every controversy instantly becomes a high crime and misdemeanor. Donald Trump was impeached not once but twice. Not long after Justice Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed, Democrats like then-Sen. Kamala Harris and Sen. Elizabeth Warren demanded his impeachment. Others demanded the impeachment of Attorney General Bill Barr and cabinet members.
Associate Justice Clarence Thomas is only the latest addition to that ever-lengthening list. In reality, the calls for his impeachment are entirely disconnected from any constitutional or logical foundation. Rather, the Thomas controversy shows how the impeachment mantra has become a raging impeachment addiction.

“The facts are clear here, this is unbelievable,” Klobuchar said Sunday. “You have the wife of a sitting Supreme Court justice advocating for an insurrection, advocating for overturning a legal election to the sitting president’s chief of staff. And, she also knows this election, these cases, are gonna come before her husband. This is a textbook case for removing him, recusing him from these decisions. And… all I hear is silence from the Supreme Court right now, and that better change in the coming week.”

The senator said federal courts, except the Court, have ethics rules requiring judges to recuse themselves from cases where they hold a personal matter or connection. She said Thomas recused himself from a 1994 case regarding a school his son attended, and Justice Stephen Breyer to a case connected to an entity his wife held a position on.

OK Let me say this as an observation, and not a fact.

Blacks appear to make heroes of drug offenders and law breakers like George Floyd while at the same time making men who studied and made something of themselves like Ben Carson and Judge Thomas into objects of derision and hate.

Envy, one of the 7 deadly sins, The same sin that makes so many hate Donald Trump.

The Democrat party is filled with people who refuse to admit their mistakes and refuse to listen to reason and who turn a blind eye to fact if it does not suit them.

I don't hate them I just can't understand them. Are they actually trying to remain ignorant?

A Judge in California appointed by Bill Clinton.
Any questions as to why he would make such a ruling?

‘Misogynistic’







Progressive Democrats in the House of Representatives, meanwhile, have gone further, calling for Thomas to be impeached and removed outright.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), explained her reasoning in a long Twitter thread Tuesday. “[We] shouldn’t dismiss actions available re: Clarence Thomas’ acts,” AOC wrote. “Subpoenas, investigations, and impeachment should absolutely be on the table. We shouldn’t have to think twice about that. We must go where the facts take us. A failure to act puts the imperiling of democracy squarely on *our* shoulders. It’s our duty to defend it.”

These things are historical.
I am no history scholar, but I don't recall any tine in history when members of the House called fo impeachment of a Supreme Court Justice because of his wife's statements.
Democrats are seeking total power over our country, and that will stoop to any level to get it.

Judges Are Never Asked To Recuse Themselves Over Political Views



If holding views about the 2020 election meant a justice couldn’t decide legal issues arising from it, then all nine would have to recuse themselves.


It’s so predictable. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has now threatened Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to resign or else face impeachment.

Leftists in Congress and the media hyperventilate over every tidbit showing that Justice Thomas’s wife, Ginni, is involved in national conservative politics – most recently, that she pushed for integrity in the 2020 election.


This isn’t news, and it has nothing to do with Justice Thomas’s ability to be a fair and impartial jurist. Yet the Left breathlessly deploys false and double standards because they are desperate to attack the justice who has been faithful to the United States Constitution they are constantly trying to hijack for their own political agenda.

In a country based on self-government, citizens must be informed about what their government is doing. Because the media won’t report this nonstory accurately, here are the facts.



1. Judicial Recusal is About Financial, Legal, Personal, and Professional Interests.​

2. Political Views Do Not Require Recusal​

3. Recusal Standards Are Tied to the Constitution’s Lifetime Appointment of Judges​

Ocasio-Cortez to Clarence Thomas: Resign or face impeachment

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday called on Justice Clarence Thomas to resign or face impeachment for what she depicted as a pattern of ethical breaches.

“Clarence Thomas should resign,” she wrote on Twitter. “If not, his failure to disclose income from right-wing organizations, recuse himself from matters involving his wife, and his vote to block the Jan 6th commission from key information must be investigated and could serve as grounds for impeachment.”


First, Ocasio-Cortez claims Thomas has failed “to disclose income from right-wing organizations.” But there is no substantive evidence showing that Thomas makes money from “right-wing organizations,” let alone evidence that he has failed to disclose such income.

Second, the Supreme Court has not heard a case involving his wife, thus Ocasio-Cortez’s assertion that Thomas has breached judicial ethics by participating in a court case from which he should have been recused is moot. If the Supreme Court had heard a case involving Thomas’ wife, he would have undoubtedly recused himself from the proceedings.

Finally, it is true that Thomas voted to block Trump-era White House documents from being turned over to the House committee investigating Jan. 6. Thomas’ critics point to his vote — and in fact, he was the lone dissenting vote — as evidence that he is compromised.





So Thomas should be impeached for his actions as a Judge

AOC and a long, long, laundry list of Democrats should be "Purged"... from existence.

Fact is Thomas was the only one with the balls to make the correct decision on the Jan.6 Pelosi Committee boondoggle we are paying for.

I think Thomas should be impeached also. As soon as she gets a federal position it's going to start.
