An online petition that calls for the impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has surpassed 1 million signatures by Wednesday night.
The petition, titled “Impeach Justice Clarence Thomas,” was created on the public advocacy organization website MoveOn, and it had attracted 1,132,479 signatures at the time of this report.
The petition cites Thomas’s vote to overturn Roe v. Wade as well as his wife’s role in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 220 election results, as reasoning for his removal.
“Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas—who sided with the majority on overturning Roe—made it clear what’s next: to overturn high court rulings that establish gay rights and contraception rights,” the petition read.
The description also noted that the Supreme Court earlier this year rejected a request by former President Trump to prevent the release of documents related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Thomas was the only justice to dissent on the matter.
“He has shown he cannot be an impartial justice and is more concerned with covering up his wife’s coup attempts than the health of the Supreme Court.”
“He must resign — or Congress must immediately investigate and impeach,” the petition concluded.
