Adam Schiff revealed this shifty scheme to try and destroy Clarence Thomas
Justice Clarence Thomas is in the crosshairs of Democrats.
They’re pulling out all the stops to get him off of the Supreme Court.
And Adam Schiff revealed this shifty scheme to try and destroy Clarence Thomas. Democrats are ramping up their attacks on the Supreme Court after the conservative Justices handed them a series of major defeats under President Joe Biden.
Justice Clarence Thomas is a victim of a more than 30-year smear campaign dating back to his confirmation hearing.
The latest attempt to smear Thomas is from a left-wing backed news outlet that generated a phony controversy.
The hit piece falsely claimed that he committed unprecedented ethical violations by taking a vacation that was paid for by a longtime friend and not reporting it. Democrat-appointed Justices have taken hundreds of trips paid for by others and not a peep came out of the media.
House Democrats lead Reps. Dan Goldman (D-NY) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) are demanding that Chief Justice John Roberts establish an independent investigative committee to probe ethical violations by justices.
They said in a letter to Roberts that they had “grave concerns” about “serious allegations of ethical improprieties” by both Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito.
Alito was attacked for taking a fishing trip to Alaska where a GOP donor gave him an extra seat on a plane that would otherwise have been empty.
Roberts was also asked to set up an ethics advisory panel to advise Justices on conflicts of interest and financial disclosures. “Despite the Court’s decision not to conduct a proper investigation into allegations of misconduct by Justices Thomas and Alito, we know that you possess the ability to do such an investigation when you desire,” the letter said.
The letter demanded that Roberts launch a “substantial” investigation into Thomas based on the hit piece.
Roberts has said that the court can handle ethical issues internally.
“Despite your insistence that the Court can police itself, you have provided no rationale or vision for how the Court will do so,” Goldman wrote. “Moreover, the Court’s failure to conduct a meaningful, independent investigation into allegations against Justices Thomas and Alito only underscores widespread concerns that the Supreme Court is not subject to a code of ethics or an adequate enforcement process.”
Democrats are furious that the conservative block on the Supreme Court handed them crushing defeats by overturning Roe v. Wade, expanding gun rights, repealing affirmative action, and reining in other federal overreaches. So now they’re working on trying to delegitimize the court with another wave of defeats facing them on the horizon.
Democrats won’t rest until they find a way to finally get Clarence Thomas kicked off of the Supreme Court.
