Thomas’s recent decision to nally recuse from a case in which he has an irrefutable conflict of interest – relating to evidence detailing his former clerk John Eastman’s attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election – shows that the pressure from our movement really matters.
It especially matters given the monumental issues before the court in the term that began two weeks ago: Domestic abusers regaining access to guns, fair enforcement of the ADA, allowing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to protect consumers, and whether the courts will permit federal regulation of big business. The Supreme Court will decide cases on all this and so much more this term.
