#ClarenceThomas will get to decide whether #tfg engaged in an insurrection that his wife helped organize.
Let’s take a look at the #SCOTUS #ethics code. Second paragraph under “Disqualifications.”
Count the ways Thomas should disqualify himself.
Would be sweet if #JackSmith would announce that #GinniThomas is a likely witness in the #insurrection case. See the last sentence of this section of the code.
