<b>Lifting the Veil on the Left’s Attacks on Clarence and Ginni Thomas</b>
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">in making sense of the recent outbreak of pearl-clutching

articles in the leftist media about political involvement by Ginni

Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, it is important

to remember that issues raised by the left are never the real issues for

the left<b>.  For the left, there is always a deeper strategic agenda that

is hidden</b> beneath the surface positions and rhetoric, an agenda that is

grounded in a <b>radically </b>different view of a how society should be

governed than the one reflected in the American Constitution.

</font><div class="my-4">

</div>

<p dir="ltr"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The rhetorical veil over the left’s true agenda is often

transparent, as when the left opens our borders to millions of new

Democrat voters under a guise of welcoming people who just want a better

life, when anyone with a functioning neocortex knows the Democrats

would have already built a border wall if those illegal immigrants were

going to vote Republican instead of Democrat. Or, u<b>nder the thin cover

story of preventing vote suppression, the left opposes every

common-sense protection against election fraud, </b>including such minimal

precautions as having voters show identification to ensure that they are

who they say they are and not voting in someone else’s name.</font></p><p dir="ltr"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">In

their recent rash of attacks on Clarence and Ginni Thomas, the left’s

surface narrative is that involvement by Ginni Thomas in conservative

politics raises conflict-of-interest problems for Justice Thomas and

that he should recuse himself when cases come before the Supreme Court </span>

that involve any issue on which his wife has ever taken a stand. Because

Ginni Thomas is a respected advocate on a wide range of issues

important to the conservative-leaning mainstream in American politics,

that novel interpretation of the recusal standard would essentially

silence Justice Thomas’s voice on any cases remotely connected to those

issues.</font></p> <div class="row mb-3">

</div>

<p dir="ltr"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">And<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> silencing Justice Thomas, who is one of the strongest

defenders of Constitutional rule of law on the court, is clearly the

left’s short-term goal here. But that goal is only part of a much larger

strategy.</span></font></p><p dir="ltr"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Close examination shows that the left’s

narrative about the Thomases would have to be substantially stronger

even to qualify as flimsy. <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/baseless-recusal-attack-clarence-thomas-opinion-1686780">Mark Paoletta</a>, <a href="https://www.danielgreenfield.org/2022/04/the-lynching-of-justice-clarence-thomas.html">Daniel Greenfield</a>, and <a href="https://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2022/04/01/the-even-higher-tech-lynching-of-justice-clarence-thomas-n1586269">Christian Adams</a>,</span>

among others, have published detailed and devastating rebuttals to the

left’s claims that Ginni Thomas’s political work in any way creates an

ethical conflict for Justice Thomas, and they have exposed the raw

political agenda beneath those claims. But suffice it to say here that

the recusal standard applies if family members are involved in

litigation before the court or are able to receive compensation

depending on the outcome of the litigation. Family members of judges

obviously do not lose the right to hold and express political opinions.

Furthermore, there have been multiple instances of family members of

judges being openly engaged in activity – including the provision of

legal services – on behalf of liberal causes without triggering recusal

demands from the left. Ginni Thomas does not practice law, and her

networking and sharing opinions with other conservatives does not even

come close to violating any reasonable interpretation of the recusal

standard.</font></p>

</div>

<p dir="ltr"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">But only the Thomases have come under fire from the left.</font></p><p dir="ltr"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">In

such cases, conservatives are often quick to accuse the left of

applying a double standard or even being hypocritical in their selective

outrage, and in one sense that accusation certainly fits here. Leftists

who reflexively project sexism and racism onto every issue seem content

to attack Ginni Thomas for speaking her own mind and Justice Thomas for

daring to hold judicial views that the left deems impermissible for a

black man to hold. Once we see the attacks on the Thomases in light of

other tactics used by the left, however, it becomes clear that there are

no double standards on the left. There is one, and only one, standard

that guides the positions and rhetoric of the left, and that standard is

that the left’s agenda must be advanced by any means necessary.</font></p><p dir="ltr"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>The

ultimate goal of all left-wing tactics is to remove political power

from the hands of voters and elected officials who respect the

Constitution and its separation of governmental powers and to put all

political power in the hands of “woke” activists </b>who are insulated from

electoral accountability. From the left-wing rioters who burn buildings

and drag motorists from their cars to their better-dressed allies who

prefer the sanitized label of “progressive,” the American left may march

under different names, but they are all marching in the same direction,

and they all see the American Constitution as an outmoded relic of an

oppressive worldview and system that must be dismantled.</font></p>

</div>

<p dir="ltr"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Where the Constitution recognizes the God-given rights of

individuals, the left ignores the individual and sees only nameless,

faceless members of demographic groups engaged in class struggle. Where

the Constitution limits and separates the powers of government in order

to protect the<b> God-given rights of individuals from abuse at the hands

of self-serving politicians,</b><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"> the left envisions a centralized power

structure controlled by and for the “woke” elite who alone should wield

the power to mold a new society in keeping with their preferences and

interests.</span></font></p><p dir="ltr"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Naturally, given the relative insulation of

the federal bureaucracy and judiciary from direct accountability to the

electorate, the left sees those institutions as primary vehicles for

centralizing power. That is why the left has weaponized the bureaucracy

of the federal government to harass and ruin those who question the

left’s agenda. That is why the Democrats put Republican Supreme Court

nominees who might put rule of law above the left’s agenda through a

trial-by-fire of personal smears and attacks, and that is why Democrat

nominees such as<b> Ketanji Brown Jackson can leave a trail of questionable

decisions friendly to extreme left-wing cause</b>s without raising the

slightest concern from the left about judicial impartiality. It’s not

impartiality that the left wants on the courts, but partiality that is

politically correct. </font></p>

</div>

<p dir="ltr"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">But the left would have us believe that the Thomases are – clutch pearls here – politicizing the court.</font></p><p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Tim
