    No surprise here. She got to use the RV too, she was on all of those paid private flights and was therefore complicit. She’s just covering her ass.

  2. >In a call with donors, First Liberty Institute’s Kelly Shackelford read the supportive email he said came from Thomas. The leader of the religious-rights group also labeled Justice Elena Kagan “treasonous” for backing a stronger ethics code.

    This is why we need nonprofits like ProPublica in our news.

  3. “Thank you for the support! Me and my husband need a larger RV next year and those new pesky ethics guidelines would really ruin the vacation!”

    This SCotUS (save Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson) is an atrocious stain on this country’s history.

    That we would all have a woman who would fight for people’s rights the way she fights for those of a luxury motor coach.

    Like this should be a surprise to anyone. Supreme Court reform is pretty much needed only because of his husband.

  7. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.propublica.org/article/ginni-thomas-email-scotus-ethics-reform-first-liberty-institute) reduced by 96%. (I’m a bot)

    > Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, privately heaped praise on a major religious-rights group for fighting efforts to reform the nation's highest court – efforts sparked, in large part, by her husband's ethical lapses.

    > Thomas sent the email that praised First Liberty for joining the fight against Supreme Court reform.

    > Do you have any information about the Supreme Court and efforts to block court reform that we should know? Andy Kroll can be reached by email at andy.

    I can’t believe that the wife of a sitting SC justice can be this transparent on an issue impacting her husband

    Can you imagine the conversations at the dinner table in the Thomas household? They must complain constantly of how victimized they are. Thomas is one of the most “legally” corrupt people to ever wear the SC robes. They’ve completely pushed all ethical boundaries and destroyed the courts reputation almost single handedly (also looking at you Alito).

    **Bolding** mine.  Ethical lapses, lol.  Is that what we’re calling deliberate, corrupt solicitation now???  

  11. “Thank you for turning our country into a Nazi hell 🕳️. Just so my (corrupt) husband will have infinitely more power,” Ginni Thomas

    Three justices on the court – Alito, Thomas and Gorsuch – represent a clear danger to America’s future.

  13. As a lawyer, I find it ironic that I have to take ethics continuing education courses and am expected to act ethically while the highest court in the land is filled with unethical judges.

  14. The supreme court has lost its way they are more interested in protecting their pockets than protecting the people of this country corruption has infected our most highest court reform is needed to weed out and restore trust in the institution.Thats why they are reaching out to anyone that will sympathize with the corrupt institution that they have become.
    We are a country of laws we need a supreme court that belongs to the people not anyone with a deep political pocket.

  15. a truly mentally unstable individual. she has no problem with jd vance’s diatribes about childless women/couples (which includes her and her husband) while going after anyone who suggests the highest court in the country should have rules regarding the integrity of its sitting judges.

    what a hypocritical windbag.
