Ginni Thomas is Hillary Clinton on steroids

Can you imagine the degree to which Republicans would be losing their minds over Ginni Thomas if her husband, Clarence, had been appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court by a Democrat?

Remember how Republicans savaged Hillary Clinton when her husband became president?

Wait ...

You don’t need to do, because they are still savaging her.

The first attacks came after Bill Clinton was elected. No other first lady had come into the White House with a post-graduate degree or as impressive a professional resume. The GOP melted down over her presumed influence over Bill. They freaked out over her being a policy adviser.

“Nobody elected her!” we heard, again and again.

Ginni Thomas is Hillary Clinton on steroids. Yet when it comes to her and her Supreme Court justice husband, we’re hearing ... nothing.

Even after it was reported that Ginni Thomas bought into the whole debunked claims about a rigged election, as well as some of the most bizarre QAnon conspiracy theories, and that she attended the rally that led to the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Even after we find out she sent nearly 30 text messages – a form of direct contact that no average citizen could possibly have – to Donald Trump’s White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, urging him to do all he could to overturn the certified election results and keep Trump in office.

Even after we match that with her husband’s dissent when the Supreme Court refused to consider a challenge to Pennsylvania’s mail-in voting procedures.

A dissent in which Thomas mimicked the feelings of conspiracy kooks by writing, “We are fortunate that many of the cases we have seen alleged only improper rule changes, not fraud. But that observation provides only small comfort. An election free from strong evidence of systemic fraud is not alone sufficient for election confidence.”

Even after Thomas became the lone dissenter when the court said the National Archives could release thousands of documents to the U.S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States, documents that included his wife’s texts to Meadows.

How could the justice not have recused himself from that case?

The morning of the insurrection Ginni Thomas published now-deleted Facebook posts that read in part, “LOVE MAGA people !!!! ” and “GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU STANDING UP or PRAYING!”

Consider this simple comparison between Ginni and Hillary:

There was a fixed limit to any influence Hillary Clinton could have had over her husband. The most Bill Clinton could serve in the White House was eight years.

Clarence Thomas has an appointment for life. A president has considerable power, of course, but many of the president’s decisions often can be legally challenged.

The final say in such matters often ends up in the Supreme Court, where Clarence Thomas sits.

A president needs majorities in both the House and the Senate to get a piece of legislation passed.

A Supreme Court justice needs only four other votes.

Hillary Clinton was called before Congress many, many times.

Shouldn’t Ginni Thomas be subpoenaed at least once?
