Opinion: The political maneuvering by Ginni Thomas has to be stopped [Opinion]
Thomas laments “loss of trust” within the court at the draft opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade leak, musing, “I wonder how long we’re going to have these institutions at the rate we’re undermining them.” The public’s loss of faith in our most powerful branch of government, which defines the scope of our rights, is the much greater loss.
That institution is undermined by Mitch McConnell’s misbegotten conservative majority who are quickly reshaping civic life by dismantling legal precedents society’s expectations rely on. Are we really so indifferent to preserving our republic that we won’t vote in droves to elect state and federal Democrats to save it from the slow-motion MAGA coup facilitated by the likes of Ginni and Clarence Thomas?
