More than one million people have signed a petition calling for Justice Clarence Thomas to be removed from office.

The petition was created by the liberal advocacy group MoveOn after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of abortion rights.

As of Friday evening, it had more than 7860,000 signatures.

The petition pointed out that Thomas was among the majority of justices who ruled that there was not a right to an abortion and that he suggested the Supreme Court should revisit cases that established the right to contraceptive access and same-sex marriage.

The petition blasted Thomas for not recusing himself in cases relating to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot after news reports surfaced that he had reached out to Arizona state lawmakers to reject the 2020 election results.

There is an immediate investigation and heightened alarm due to Thomas' failure to re- qualm himself. It is the latest in a long history of conflicts of interest in the service of a right-wing agenda and mixing his powerful role with his conservative political activism.

He has shown that he can't be an impartial justice and that he is more concerned with covering up his wife's coup attempts than the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court justices should be impeached if they lied about their views on abortion during their confirmation hearings according to some lawmakers.

If we allow Supreme Court nominees to lie under oath and get lifetime appointments to the highest court of the land, we need to see that through.
