  • There were calls to remove Thomas after the SCOTUS decision.

The removal of Justice Clarence Thomas from the Supreme Court is being demanded by hundreds of thousands of people.

The Supreme Court's conservative justices repealed the landmark ruling that legalized abortion across the United States. More than 850,000 people have signed a petition calling for Thomas to be impeached.

The petition said that the Supreme Court had taken away the right to privacy and bodily autonomy.

Clarence Thomas was one of the Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn the high court's gay rights and contraceptive rights rulings.

The court should "reconsider" rulings that protect contraceptive access, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage, Thomas said following the overturn of Wade. Democrats have advocated for Thomas to be kicked out of his seat.

The petition called out Thomas' wife, who was accused of being involved in challenging the election results.

There is an immediate investigation and heightened alarm due to Thomas' failure to disqualify himself. He has 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 health of the Supreme Court.
