"“Thomas’ failure to recuse himself warrants immediate investigation and heightened alarm,” the petition states. “And it’s only the latest in a long history of conflicts of interest in the service of a right-wing agenda and mixing his powerful role with his conservative political activism. He has shown he cannot be an impartial justice and is more concerned with covering up his wife’s coup attempts than the health of the Supreme Court.”
“He must resign—or Congress must immediately investigate and impeach,” adds the petition, which is titled “Impeach Justice Clarence Thomas.”
Days after the high court’s ruling in Dobbs, two prominent progressive lawmakers—Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) — called for impeachment investigations into Thomas and other right-wing justices.
“I believe that violating federal law in not disclosing income from political organizations, as Clarence Thomas did years ago, is… potentially an impeachable offense,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” last Sunday.
In a profile of Thomas earlier this year, The New Yorker’s Jane Mayer reported that the justice’s wife “was an undisclosed paid consultant at the conservative pressure group the Center for Security Policy, when its founder, Frank Gaffney, submitted an amicus brief to the court supporting Trump’s Muslim travel ban.”
Mayer noted that Thomas also had to amend years of financial filings after the watchdog group Common Cause discovered that the right-wing Heritage Foundation paid Ginni Thomas nearly $700,000 between 2003 and 2007.
“We have a responsibility to protect our democracy. That includes holding those in power who violate the law accountable,” said Ocasio-Cortez. “Without it, rule of law can slip through our hands like sand through loose fingers.”
Hours after the New York Democrat’s interview, Omar argued in a series of tweets that “we need an impeachment investigation into Clarence Thomas’ role in the January 6th coup, as well as into Gorsuch, Alito, Barrett, and Kavanaugh’s testimony on Roe during their confirmation hearings.”"
