I predict the chances of Justice Clarence Thomas resigning in the next year are high [View all]

Given what we currently know, that his wife, Ginni, gave public support to the Jan 6th insurrection, I've been wondering what we don't know. As the investigation moves closer to the nexus of insurrection, it may get too "hot" for the Thomases.

"According to Independent, Mrs. Thomas is allegedly a member of a network of conservative activists called Groundswell. The group has close ties to Trump and his senior officials, according to the report. Thomas reportedly helped craft lists of “disloyal” government officials, and detailed memos are said to have been written by Groundswell over the past year-and-a-half."
