“Ginni Thomas is behaving horribly, and she’s hurt the Supreme Court and the administration of justice,” the judicial ethicist Stephen Gillers said. “If you could take a secret poll of the other eight Justices, I have no doubt that they are appalled.”

This warlike mentality is shared by Groundswell, the political group that Thomas has chaired. In a 2020 session of the Council for National Policy, Rachel Bovard, the senior director of policy at the Conservative Partnership Institute, described meeting weekly with Groundswell members to “vet” officials for disloyalty, saying, “Ginni has beeninstrumental in working with the White House. . . . She really is the tip of the spear in these efforts.

It’s unclear whether the Crowdsourcers project that Thomas said she was launching with O’Keefe’s help ever got off the ground. There’s little public trace of Crowdsourcers, other than a tax filing from 2019, showing that it was developed under the oversight of the Capital Research Center, a right-wing nonprofit that does opposition research. Project Veritas’s chief legal officer senta statement saying that O’Keefe’s “schedule does not permit such extracurricular activities” as Crowdsourcers.

Ginni Thomas has held so many leadership or advisory positions at conservative pressure groups that it’s hard to keep track of them. And many, if not all, of these groups have been involved in cases that have come before her husband. Her Web site lists the National Association of Scholars—the group that has filed an amicus brief in the lawsuit against Harvard—among her “endorsed charities.

Another of Ginni Thomas’s fellow-directors on the C.N.P. Action board in 2020 was J. Kenneth Blackwell, a former Ohio secretary of state who is tied to one of the most consequential gun cases currently under consideration by the Supreme Court. In 2020, he was on the National Rifle Association’s board of directors, and at the time the gun group’s official affiliate in New York was challenging the state’s restrictions on carrying firearms in public spaces.

Oh no! How dare she. I’m literally shaking right now. Reeeeeeee!!!!!!!

It's Pretty Clear That Democrats Stole the Presidential Election, Then Ran a 'Reichstag Fire' Operation on J6 And Now What to Relentlessly Destroy Anyone Who Is Willing to Even Allude to Such Truths. Democrats NatSocAmerWokePartei

Lol! No.

None of what you are saying is remotely illegal or compromising to the Supreme Court. The issue is that you don’t like Justice Thomas’s decisions on the Court, and you will try anything to get rid of him.

At some point, America, we have to confront a very revealing question. How much time in incarceration would Trump's enablers currently be serving had they been middle-eastern, Mexican or Black Americans? After 9/11, the entire middle-eastern community was placed on notice. 1/

She’s a threat to democracy, period.

GovHowardDean She is a threat to the nation!

what piece of ancient technology like a listserv does our aging government utilize?

Yes, she is! Why aren’t more people talking about this!!!?

Ginni Thomas is a threat to democracy. That may still, or not anymore, include the Supreme Court.

No more than Justice Thomas….

Responding to the title of the piece - in a word: yes. Ugh.

The Supreme Court is a threat to the country.

The Court, maybe...US Democracy, hell yes.

GovHowardDean Yes. Next?

No, she’s a threat to America.

Yes.

She is a threat to democracy

JaneMayerNYer Another notch in the NewGOP belt—loss of public faith in USSupremeCourt

JaneMayerNYer The mega question is, how much is Putin's role with Trump, Ginny and Krushner to overthrow the US government on Jan 6?

JaneMayerNYer So, imagine the scene at home when a case in which the conviction of a Jan. 6 gets before SCOTUS.

JaneMayerNYer

JaneMayerNYer Wow!

JaneMayerNYer Raise your hand if you hope POTUS gets to pick another candidate for SCOTUS ✋🏻✋🏻✋🏼✋🏼✋🏾✋🏾✋🏿✋🏿✋✋

JaneMayerNYer ImpeachThomas LockUpGinni

JaneMayerNYer This is banana republic-style corruption.

JaneMayerNYer WHY is absolutely nothing being done about all these seditionists sitting in our government? This isn't normal!

JaneMayerNYer Hate to wish anything negative on a person but hopefully Biden will soon have a second spot to fill.

JaneMayerNYer Yes!

JaneMayerNYer Ginni is a threat to DEMOCRACY

JaneMayerNYer Ginni is a threat to us all. 🙄

JaneMayerNYer The court isn't considering any Jan 6 cases. This idea highly premature

Is there a larger problem than pathological narcissism in our leadership class? I'm not seeing one.

If he listens to her he's even a poorer justice than I thought. Just, hopefully,Biden chooses a woman and doesn't listen to anyone else. I do think, however, no president should be allowed to choose more than one justice a term of office.

Ginni Thomas sits on the board of Charlie Kirk's right wing 'non-profit' propaganda factory Turning Point USA. They sent 80 buses of militia members and maga morons to DC on January 6th... SO WHO PAID FOR THOSE BUSES?

dmt4mt 20 - 30 for sedition. Maybe Ginni will get out when she’s 90 for good behavior.

Fascist!

Is? Of first she is. Has been. What’s the holdup with consequences and Clarence resigning!?

Except Clarence. Yet, she’s allowed to go on with criminal and traitorous behavior WITHOUT ONE CONSEQUENCE!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡to her or Clarence.

I hate to defend his wife as I disagree with her, but like it or not she has a right to her opinion. If he listens, that's his problem and those on the Court, but not hers.

Yes, but not nearly as much as her husband is.

And she has an impeccable and sophisticated sense of fashion

Clarence Thomas is a threat to the Supreme Court!

JAYSTONES1 I don’t think he’s right about 8 appalled justices.

tucsonrosie2001 GinniThomas should BE IN JAIL‼️

She should sit by Gorsuch during dinners.

Ginni behaving horribly. New news? Thank you for this report.

Clarence needs to go. It’s clear that his views are tied to that of his wife. How can we expect him to be fair when he has pillow talk every night. We can’t compete with pillow talk trust me!!!!!!

BonnieC23365469 Then maybe they should say something.

Call me meddlesome but I think if Joe Biden nominates a black supreme court nominee who has all the attributes a judge needs to do the job but also has an abundance of charisma, charm and irrepressible physicality, Clarence will teeter and the Ginny thing takes care of itself.

Don’t blame Ginni. If you pick a puppet for a Supreme Court Justice, the puppet masters are dime a dozen.

They all have platforms and lifetime appointments. If they’re appalled they should say so

I’m gonna guess that Kavanaugh is not appalled.

MpoppEileen Yeah so why dont they give Clarence the boot?

Conservatives and Republicans really are the worst among us.

Talk about a marriage made in Hell.

She feels entitled and invulnerable. There've been no consequences to her misdemeanors. So? Why would she stop misbehavin'?

SavedOneClick

What the f was this? His wife had these views so he must too? Yeah and if my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle I guess

He is henpecked. Thomas is more afraid of his wife than going down in history for betraying America.

GinniThomas just sank Justice Thomas’ reputation. He is no doubt under the influence of his wife and he should have recused himself.

What exactly is Stephen Filters political affiliation?

Throw in that she's also an affront to all that is decent while you're at it

That beeeeotch is scary powerful! No doubt! Mixing politics with wifey-Supreme Court shit is no bueno! LOL

yes, She is.

Yes she is.

Impeach the Thomas insurrectionists family

Lol. Poll the others? Half of them aren't that great either.

I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. MarkBromfield00 was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life

She’s a threat to democracy

Of the other eight, only 3 or would be. The others have their skeletons they’re hiding

“If you take a secret poll” lol this isn’t reporting this is making up narratives. Jussie was also a hoax FYI

KeeangaYamahtta Does she actually look like Jabba, or is this illustration unkind?

I appreciate that this illustration makes her look every bit as ghastly as she actually is

i actually do doubt this lmao. maybe like a couple other justices tops

No actually Clarance is the threat.
