According to the article, this lawyer also clerked for Clarence Thomas. It’s insane that Thomas is still a Supreme Court justice:

Clarence Thomas’s wife Ginni Thomas pushed officials to try and overturn the 2020 election results.
He was the only dissenting justice in the Supreme Court’s vote to approve the turnover of Trump documents to the Jan 6th committee
He is friends with Harlan Crow, a billionaire who is a part of a group called Club for Growth. This club has donated millions to GOP candidates that supported overturning the 2020 election results.

Absolutely zero argument with you there.

And things started so well with his confirmation hearings ... Who could have seen this coming?
