Clarence Thomas and Corruption in the Supreme Court

The idea that the U.S. Supreme Court justices are apolitical is a joke. Clarence Thomas’ wife Virginia is a vocal right-wing activist, who cheered on the January 6th insurrectionists, while claiming that America is in existential danger because of the “deep state” and the “fascist left,” which includes “transsexual fascists,” per the New Yorker.

Perhaps worse, “Behind closed doors, she’s working with many groups directly involved in controversial cases before the Court,” as reported here.

If a judge has somehow been assigned to hear a criminal case against one of his children, he recuses himself.  Now, I understand that Thomas is a horrible person, and is not going to put limitations on his own power, but can’t we do something about this blatant corruption at the highest level of government?
