I am sure this is a dumb question...

I don't know if I can word this properly, but the Ginni Thomas story yesterday has me asking.
Looking at all of the people involved in the 2020 election attempts to change, (ie Thomas, Rudy, Hawley, Cruz, even Hannity, Carlson, etc.) Have we always had people in important positions or closely connected undermining elections and rule of law?
If so, are we finding out more because there is more media (24-hour news, blogs, podcasts) are covering it closer?
Is this something that we have been inching incrementally closer to? Are all the whataboutisms part of the problem, people pushing a little further and then saying, but the other side did this and it is almost as bad or just as bad?
Of course, I have to throw Trump into this.
Has he just pushed the envelope so much that we are now where those people feel free to do the things they are doing?
If it is something going on for years, is it possible that the media is mad at Trump, and are going to let us behind the curtain, so to speak?

And specifically to Thomas, does anyone think her husband didn't know what she was doing, and did not have input?
Should a Supreme Court justice be involved in overthrowing an election? Should he step down, or be impeached?

A lot there I know, and I hope my random thoughts were easy to follow.

Not a dumb question at all ! Off the top of my head, I wonder if the 1/6 committee is pursuing this in any way ? I would definitely think that it would be on the radar of the DOJ.

She appears to be all dough... Clarence must keep her well fed !

Ginni has been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by firms who have had their cases heard in front of her husband. If this has happened previously with the US Supreme Court, I would imagine they did a better job of hiding it. These people truly believe they can do anything and don’t care if it constitutes a conflict of interest or even just looks bad. They are invincible.

The Supreme Court is supposed to be above politics. It is now nothing but politics.
