A former House GOP lawmaker says Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should be removed from the bench over his “unethical” behavior and taunted people to challenge him.

“Come at me. I got receipts,” Denver Riggleman posted to X, calling Thomas’ wife, Ginni Thomas, “disturbed.”

Riggleman posted in response to a clip of Donald Trump saying at a rally that “people should be put in jail for the way they talk about our judges and justices.”

“Clarence Thomas is, at the least, unethical. Should be removed from the bench. His wife, Ginni Thomas, is disturbed. Come at me. I got receipts.” Riggleman said.

Riggleman was a senior technical adviser for the January 6th committee that investigated the deadly insurrection that saw a mob of mostly Trump supporters overrun the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

In other words, he was the person who collected and analyzed the data collected from cell phones and other devices.

Right, there's no way they would do something super unethical and try to apply their words differently to a sitting president above reproach in comparison to the convicted felon running for office.

They uh, would need to remain capable of speech for that. Surely there's official act way of stopping that.
