Leaked Emails Show Justice Clarence Thomass Wife Pushing Travel BanIn leaked emails, Ginni Thomas asked for advice on how to organize in favor of Trumps travel ban. But by doing so, she may have inadvertently made it harder for the executive order to survive the Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomass wife is organizing in support of President Donald Trumps agenda. And it might make her husbands life a little complicated.
In an email sent to a conservative listserv on Feb. 13 and obtained by The Daily Beast, Ginni Thomas asked an interesting question: How could she organize activists to push for Trumps policies?

"with minimal costs", she is driving Justice Thomas to quit and make the big bucks.

If we know what they're up to at least we have a better chance at fighting back.
