If he's impeached by House Democrats, Justice Clarence Thomas would be the second Supreme Court justice ever to receive such a harsh sanction from Congress.
"Clarence Thomas should resign," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., tweeted Tuesday."If not, his failure to disclose income from right-wing organizations, recuse himself from matters involving his wife, and his vote to block the Jan 6th commission from key information must be investigated and could serve as grounds for impeachment."
Thomas would join Justice Samuel Chase as the only Supreme Court justices ever impeached if Democrats follow through on their threats. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas delivers a keynote speech during a dedication of Georgia's new Nathan Deal Judicial Center in Atlanta, Feb. 11, 2020.Chase was loudly pro-Federalist and campaigned for John Adams in the 1800 presidential election, according to the Congressional Research Service . The House eventually voted to impeach Chase in 1804 for a variety of alleged misdeeds largely related to his politics.
UCLA’S RACE, EQUITY DIRECTOR APPEARS TO WISH FOR JUSTICE THOMAS TO DIE: ‘NO ONE WANTS TO OPENLY ADMIT’ One example of the Jeffersonian Republican pressure having an effect on the Supreme Court in Chase's day, Wallner said, was the famous Marbury v. Madison case.
