What am I missing here? Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was the lone dissenting vote on the high court that decided the National Archives must release hundreds of pages from Donald Trump\u2019s files to the House select committee investigating the 1\/6 insurrection.<\/p>\n

Hmm. I thought about that dissent. I wasn\u2019t surprised, given Justice Thomas\u2019s rigid right-wing credentials.<\/p>\n

Oh, but wait! Then came this bit of news. Ginni Thomas, the wife of the justice, is an ardent political activist who rails constantly against the 2020 presidential election. She is known to be a fervent supporter of the disgraced, twice-impeached former president. She just recently launched into a scathing attack on the 1\/6 committee, challenging its legitimacy and its authority to look where it is looking.<\/p>\n

So, then comes the decision from the highest court in the land. All the other justices, conservatives and liberals \u2014 including the three people nominated by Donald Trump \u2014 voted to require the documents to end up in the committee\u2019s files.<\/p>\n

Justice Thomas was the lone dissent. Is there a conflict of interest that the justice is ignoring?<\/p>\n
