Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife, Ginni, texted Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff, over two dozen times following the 2020 election, urging that Joe Biden’s victory be overturned. Justice Thomas didn’t even make that egregious conflict of interest known, let alone recuse himself, when multiple election-related emergency cases hit the Supreme Court. He won’t recuse now, either, even though what his wife was peddling gave rise to the six-count criminal indictment against Trump, which Justice Thomas is now positioned to help dismiss as a matter of constitutional fiat.
