A former House GOP lawmaker says Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should be removed from the bench over his āunethicalā behavior and taunted people to challenge him.
āCome at me. I got receipts,āĀ Denver RigglemanĀ posted to X, calling Thomasā wife, Ginni Thomas, ādisturbed.ā
Riggleman posted in response to a clip ofĀ Donald Trump saying at a rally that āpeople should be put in jail for the way they talk about our judges and justices.ā
āClarence Thomas is, at the least, unethical. Should be removed from the bench. His wife, Ginni Thomas, is disturbed. Come at me. I got receipts.ā Riggleman said.
Riggleman was a senior technical adviser for the January 6th committee that investigated the deadly insurrection that saw a mob of mostly Trump supporters overrun the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
In other words, he was the person who collected and analyzed the data collected from cell phones and other devices.
The filibuster doesnāt really enter into it. Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution requires a 2/3 majority to convict:
The only positive fact about Thomasās tenure is that the guy is 76 years old. The actuary tables look worse and worse for him every year.
I want to ask āHey, Clarence, is it true that you think your vote should only count for 3/5ths of mine?ā and āis it true you think the all of the constitutional amendments were mistakes?ā until he has a heart attack.
The filibuster makes it unlikely it will even be heard, that was the problem with the first Trump impeachment. They broke the filibuster the 2nd time then failed to convict.
