Democrats stepped up calls Thursday for Justice Clarence Thomas to step down
It came a day after it emerged Ginni Thomas was in contact with John Eastman, who pushed the theory that Mike Pence could block Biden's election win
Ginni is the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, raising questions as to whether he should recuse himself from election and Trump-related cases
Eastman had argued that Pence, in his role as VP overseeing the election certification, could send states' results back
Democrats stepped up their calls on Thursday for Justice Clarence Thomas to resign from the Supreme Court after it emerged his activist wife was in touch with one of the key brains behind Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the election.
The House January 6 committee has reportedly obtained emails between Ginni Thomas as John Eastman, who devised a plan for Vice President Mike Pence to prevent the certification of Joe Biden's 2020 victory.
It suggests Thomas' involvement in the election plot was more extensive than previously known.
Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) said it made her husband's position untenable.
'Public confidence in our nation's highest court is at its lowest levels in generations,' he said.
'The American people rightly question whether rightwing jurists in our federal courts can adjudicate the law impartially.
'Over the last few years, we have become numb to bad acts by powerful actors, but Clarence and Ginni Thomas have participated in one of the worst breaches of trust ever seen in our court system.'
Justice Thomas, he said, was not a 'neutral actor' but instead a 'corrupt jurist.'
'Clarence Thomas should have dignity and final respect for our democracy and resign.'

They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth."
Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.
Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.-

A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak.
