The woke progressives have supported Black Lives Matter, even though it turned out to be a scam that defrauded donors; Stacey Abrams ran in 2018 for Georgia Governor with no money in her pocket, three years later she is by all definitions, a multi-millioniare - again using her color to win cash. Meanwhile, Candace Owens, Ben Carson, Allen West and Clarence Thomas are labeled by liberals as traitors to their color - despite their being patriots to their country. Race above all else is being used as a wedge, and it is the Democrats that overwhelmingly employ that tactic.
Two views of Justice Clarence Thomas surfaced along party lines during a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing about ethics in the Supreme Court. Democrats framed the court’s longest-serving justice as a lackey of Right-wing “dark money,” attacks Republicans countered are based on racist tropes.

On Wednesday, following calls for the highest court to adopt an ethics code, Democrats held the hearing before the Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet. Thomas came under scrutiny after texts between his wife Ginni Thomas and former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about overturning the 2020 election in favor of Donald Trump came to light earlier this month, accentuating her involvement with Conservative causes throughout her career.

Rep. Darrell Issa, a California Republican, declared in his opening statement that “the actions or beliefs or views of a spouse of a member of the court cannot or should not, and will not ever, be grounds for impeachment of a judge.” No justice should be admonished “because they had the audacity decades ago to marry somebody with an opinion,” Issa added.

Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz asked expert witness Mark Paoletta if the suggestion that the political activities of his wife influenced Thomas’s decisions were an “attempt to try to invoke a racist trope that black people are not as intelligent and are more persuadable,” with Paoletta agreeing that it was.

Democrats on the subcommittee exclaimed that Thomas is a model example of the corruption of Conservatives’ Supreme Court appointees. “We have a Republican majority on the Supreme Court that is more corrupt than ever before,” stated New York Democratic Rep. Mondaire Jones. “And none of those Republican justices is more corrupt than Justice Clarence Thomas, make no mistake about that.”

“Clarence Thomas attended a Koch Industries retreat in Palm Springs, California, in a time when Koch was bankrolling several litigants with cases before the Supreme Court,” commented Rep. Ted Lieu, a California Democrat. “This isn’t even the appearance of dark money. This is Justice Thomas going into the eye of the hurricane of dark money.”

Members of the Supreme Court are not subject to a code of ethics in the same way as the other two branches of government. Thus, Democrats have conceded that the close ties between Thomas and his wife’s connection to the January 6 riot mean the justices' actions need more oversight.
