I don't see how Thomas could possibly care. He knows that he and that wife of his are untouchable given that there is no oversight over the SCOTUS. Alito, too. Conservatives would never let them get even close to impeachment and Thomas has proclaimed that is only goal is to make liberal lives hell for his remainder of days.

It's surprising just how quickly the tables the conservative justices have been able to strike down existing law/precedent. I wonder if democracy will even exist in 10-20 years.

and he kicked out the affirmative action ladder behind him.
