IMHO... she's been off her rocker for some time.......

Virginia Thomas, has faced criticism recently for her actions following former President Donald Trump's defeat in the 2020 election. Among other things, Virginia Thomas exchanged messages with then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows encouraging him to work to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory and urged Republican lawmakers in Arizona, where Biden won, to choose their own slate of electors.

The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol has asked her for an interview.

What charges might Trump face for trying to overturn 2020 election?

IMHO, MIGHT is the key word!

I have a sicking feeling this SOB is going to walk away scott free while thumbing his nose at all!

Me too! I don’t think he’s gonna face any substantial punishment for anything. I might concern is that he’s going to clear his way to run again. I just saw a poll that said he is way ahead of Biden of who people would vote for if the two of them ran against each other. I can’t take another four years of Trump in office especially with this SCOTUS!

The Supreme Court just announced that it’s going to take up LGBTQA+ rights up in the fall. For all those who are married now, be aware you might not be for much longer. Those who are insured through their employers, You could lose that insurance, as well as your partner could. For those who enter hospitals, your partners will no longer be allowed to follow you in the back. Kate crimes will not be prosecuted harshly if at all. We probably won’t even be allowed to do pride events and parades. They are coming for us and they just announced it!

Could you please post the link to this? I've tried and tried finding the article but to no avail!

I know Thomas has suggested the court take a look at these, but I had not heard they definetly had decided to in fall.

Nearly 850,000 people signed a petition demanding that Justice Clarence Thomas should be booted from the Supreme Court following Roe v. Wade ruling.

Unfortunately I doubt if a Justice can be moved just for their voting stance.

And Justice Thomas’s failure to recuse himself may be wrong, but it’s not judicial misconduct.

Supreme Court sides with former Bremerton, Wash., high school football coach, ruling he has Constitutional right to pray on field.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday sided with a football coach from Washington state (6-3) who sought to kneel and pray on the field after games.

The justices ruled that the coach's prayer was protected by the First Amendment.

Isn't refusing an abortion to women some sort of double standard then?

IMHO overturning Roe Vs Wade is just another way men are determined to govern what women can do with their bodies!

Last week several important Right-wing 2nd Amendment decisions, SCOTUS struck down Gov. Hochel's (D-NY) light-weight state gun control legislation

SCOTUS wants to kick everything except gun control back to the states.

One good thing that came out of the District, Senator Chuck Schumer made loud verbal threats to the conservative Justices. He's really angry over Roe.

Senator Schumer's office is also circulating a petition to Federalize abortion access. Please sign this is you come across this.
