Impeach Clarence Thomas Page

Article 3 timeline links books Anita Hill movies & TV, other media

Clarence Thomas was nominated by President George W. Bush and became a Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court in 1991 after hearings that revealed
past sexual harassment behavior. Justice Thomas repeatedly failed to recuse himself from cases where he had connections to participants, such as former employer Monsanto.
His wife Virginia 'Ginni' Thomas publicly supported and participated in the January 6th U.S. Capitol Riot in 2021. Then in Spring 2023, independent media
began reporting on the couple's acceptance of 'gift' vacations and jet travel that were not reported to the government.

Clarence Thomas should be impeached for violating his oath of office, including fundraising for the Republican Party, for taking bribes
(unreported 'gifts'), and for not recusing himself (his wife has been a paid lobbyist for the T.E.A. Party and others).

Article 3 of the U.S. Constitution specifies that Justices and other federal judges 'shall hold their Offices during good Behavior'. While Justice Thomas is clearly in violation
of basic work ethics, government practices, and Article 3, there is no clear method for removal except for impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate.

Article 3, Section 1: The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts
as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts,
shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation
which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.

Gore, which involved a disputed election result in Florida that ultimately led to the Supreme Court awarding the presidency to Bush. 2004: D  Justice Thomas stopped reporting gifts on his disclosure forms after a Los Angeles Times article highlighted tens of thousands of dollars worth of gifts that he had accepted over six years, much of it from Texas billionaire Harlan Crow. 2005: D  Justice Thomas did not recuse himself in a case in which the Court ruled in favor of Trammell Crow Holdings in a $25 million copyright dispute; revealed by news media in April 2023 as another lie by Justice Thomas. 2009-2010: Texas billionaire Harlan Crow paid private boarding school tuition for Justice Thomas’s grandnephew Mark Martin, according to a May 2023 report from investigative news site ProPublica [est. 2007] that also said Thomas did not disclose the payments.
