Ginni and Clarence Thomas: Questions about ethics, family, politics, and the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has been making a lot of headlines, and not just for recent decisions. Ginni Thomas is a lawyer, a political activist, and she's married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. She's been in the news because her name keeps popping up in connection with the January 6th attack on the US Capitol, and with former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Has something like this ever happened before? What does it mean to the court’s legitimacy, and its perception in the public eye? We asked Craig Green, professor of law at Temple University’s Beasley School of Law to come on the podcast and talk about the norms of family, politics, and the Supreme Court.
