Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, whose wife was involved in the Trump plot to overturn the 2020, minimized the 1/6 insurrection during SCOTUS arguments.

The Supreme Court was hearing arguments related to the federal law about obstructing an official proceeding that has been used to charge 350 Trump insurrectionists.

Justice Clarence Thomas took it a step beyond and downplayed the insurrection:

Justice Thomas should not be hearing this case. He should be recused because he has a clear conflict of interest. Justice Thomas’s wife Ginni was involved in the plot to overturn the election. Ginni Thomas pressured election officials in states like Arizona to overturn the results.

Each time that Clarence Thomas violates basic ethic standards, the crisis of credibility at the Supreme Court grows.
