TAKE BACK THE COURT: “CLARENCE THOMAS SHOULD NO LONGER SERVE ON THE COURT”

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (June 15, 2022) — A new report from The Washington Post tonight revealed that Ginni Thomas — wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas — was even more extensively involved in the right-wing’s attempt to overturn the election. In response, Take Back the Court Executive Director Sarah Lipton-Lubet issued the following statement.

“The new revelations about Ginni Thomas’ involvement in the January 6 Capitol Riot make it clear — again — that Clarence Thomas should no longer serve on the Court. He is blatantly abusing his power to cover up his wife’s attempts to subvert our democracy and is unfit for the bench.”

Take Back the Court raises awareness about the urgent need to expand the number of seats on the Supreme Court to address the theft of the court by Senator Mitch McConnell during the Obama Administration. Without adding seats, Congress will not be able to restore the right to vote, ensure reproductive freedom, protect workers, halt our climate emergency, or pass new legislation. Court expansion, which can be accomplished without a constitutional amendment, is the only reform that enables the un-rigging of the system and the restoration of democracy.
