Congress controls the court through its impeachment power.

Nevertheless, I believe the action of Justice Thomas and his wife have established the appearance of bias on the court. He should resign.

lol - Based on this post, I believe you have established an appearance of bias on the forum, and you should resign.

See how that works!

Face it. You're just pi$$ed that a conservative black man is on SCOTUS.

ok lets focus on THIS and only this.


If the answer is yes (again, I did answer) then does that mean since a justice may be married, they are disqualified?


I dont think you are saying that, instead I think you are pushing downrange that if the spouse holds opinions opposite to what you consider kosher, then we have a problem?


Would you be calling for this to be looked into if his wife was instead very vocally supporting the jan 6th committee saying 'trump bad'?


she went to a rally of her president, a few miles from residence. so if the problem HIS rally (as you worded it) or ANY rally? Your argument is not surviving without being deeply partisan...
