Above, Thomas sits during a group photo of the justices at the Supreme Court on April 23, 2021, in Washington, D.C.by 10:30 a.m. ET on June 27. As of the morning of June 29, the petition currently stands at more than 450,000, an increase of 150,000 signatures in two days.
The petition also noted that Justice Thomas was the sole dissident when the Supreme Court rejected Trump's bid to block the release of some presidential records to the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.last week, effectively taking away the right to privacy and bodily autonomy that's been considered legal precedent for the past 50 years.
"It has become clear that his wife—longtime conservative activist Ginni Thomas—was actively urging the White House to overturn election results both leading up to January 6 and after the deadly insurrection," it continues. "Thomas' failure to recuse himself warrants immediate investigation and heightened alarm. He has shown he cannot be an impartial justice and is more concerned with covering up his wife's coup attempts than the health of the Supreme Court."
