Salon Discovers that Gini Thomas, Wife of Clarence Wants to Start a Pro Trump Movement

Does That Matter?  Not Really.  Here's Why

There is not a whole lot of news about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas because, well, he doesn't make a lot of news.  Justice Thomas is just irrelevant.  He doesn't ask questions during oral argument and his vote is never surprising or unpredictable.  He just phones it in.  The Chief Justices he has served under give him unimportant rulings to write opinions on.

Now Salon has uncovered some e-mails that indicate his wife is trying to start a pro-Trump advocacy group.

"In an email chain, Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, asked how she could start a grassroots organization that would support President Donald Trump and combat the resistance coalescing against him.

The emails, uncovered by The Daily Beast, were posted to a conservative listerv this month. They revealed an eager Ginni Thomas determined to make sure Trump’s policies were enacted.

“What is the best way to, with minimal costs, set up a daily text capacity for a ground-up grassroots army for pro-Trump daily action items to push back agains the left’s resistance efforts who are trying to maker America ungovernable?” she wrote."

Judge Thomas - The Most Inconsequential Justice Ever

So should everyone be worried that Clarence Thomas will not be able to render fair and impartial judgment when cases involving the government come before him. No and No. No because Thomas is already in the bag for conservatives. As we said his vote is known and predictable once the issue in the case have been documented. No because his wife's advocacy doesn't matter, he will vote regardless of fairness and impartiality.
