If I were the Thomases, what I would have learned in the last 24 hours since this scandal broke is that I could get away with this again. In fact, I could go further and nothing would happen. — PolitiTweet.org

You and I are fortunate enough to use what platform and power we have to ask questions on behalf of others. It just makes me sad that, out of what I said, the thing you chose to go after is the idea that Americans are punished for crimes to feed their family. Read. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
I do wonder why you reserve your greatest skepticism for claims on behalf of those with the least power, and so often offer credulity to the powerful. You are a smart thinker. If you found a way to invite more human feeling into your analytical approach, you would be formidable. — PolitiTweet.org

2035: Ginni Thomas declares herself to be new federal judiciary after all justices go missing in her basement. Opposition calls for Bob Mueller to have unfettered access to said basement "so as to ensure that his inconclusive investigation is conclusive." — PolitiTweet.org

@anjali_deodhar Because the Republicans have chosen this and believe in it. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
2029: SuperJustice Thomas writes for a 12-3 majority that all cases will now be heard in his living room, with Ginni instructing justices how to vote. If you don't go along, you will be locked in the basement until the next case. Opposition calls for strong turnout in midterms. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
2026: Justice Thomas writes for a 6-3 majority that he will have seven votes from now on and would like to be called SuperJustice. Opposition puts out statement urging "SuperJustice Thomas only to use seven votes in 'appropriate' situations." — PolitiTweet.org

OK but what if he said "I'm sorry" and agreed to donate 1 percent of all stolen votes to Democrats? — PolitiTweet.org

I'm curious, Democrats. If you don't think failing to recuse yourself from a case implicating your wife in a seditious conspiracy warrants resigning, what is your threshold for resignation? Genuinely curious how you draw the line. — PolitiTweet.org

Please respond to this thread tagging members of Congress who have called for Justice Thomas' resignation. And source. Please don't reply otherwise. Trying to see something. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
Recusal is voluntary. Voluntary virtue cannot be the solution to corruption in defense of sedition and insurrection. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
I still disagree profoundly that this is anything like a solution. But you deserve to hear their thinking and be the judge of how much of a response is enough of a response. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
"Ketanji Brown Jackson said she would recuse from the Harvard case," the Wyden spokesperson said. "Stephen Breyer recuses from any case involving his brother who is a district judge. Recusal is a tangible thing Supreme Court justices do fairly regularly." — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
And @AshleySchapitl went on: "Of course I understand people's frustration, but tactically we think this is the best way to have some success. Like I said, recusal made a real difference during the Russia investigation. Jeff Sessions was never going to resign until he was fired." — PolitiTweet.org

Oh man. Update on the update. I'm now told that the "We do" referred to me and them thinking differently about the issue. Not to my question about a resignation statement. So there is no resignation statement coming. Gotcha. — PolitiTweet.org

She continued: "If you have a plan to get him to resign or be successfully impeached, I’m all ears. Our thinking is that getting him out of the 2024 election is where we could have success." — PolitiTweet.org

This is bringing a knife to a gunfight and giving the guy with the gun your knife. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
@RonWyden At some point, you accept that the Republicans are a proto-fascist authoritarian party. You're not going to shame them out of it. All that's left is for pro-democracy forces to have some sense of spine, some sense of strategy, some sense of message, and to fight. Or: over. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
Please, @RonWyden. Think about it. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
Imagine instead having the courage to call for a resignation or impeachment. Imagine announcing in a statement that you're leading a march on the court to make that position clear. Imagine calling for a Senate investigation. Recusal? My god. My god. My god. — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
I mean, I'm sorry. If this is the Democratic position after this scandal, then, you know what, you're freeing the Republicans to do whatever to your democracy. Recusal. Really? Recusal? — PolitiTweet.org

We are teaching our children that if you work to render the planet uninhabitable or try to end free elections, you will walk -- but that if you sleep on the street or steal a loaf of bread or cross a border to escape violence against your family, the law will come for you. — PolitiTweet.org
