The Left’s latest move to get Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is way up there on the crazy meter.
This from redstate.com.
Previously, students at George Washington University tried to get Thomas canned from teaching there. The University told the students to take a hike instead of folding like cheap suits.
The Hill, a left-leaning publication despite their ‘unbiased’ claim, wrote a story claiming that more than 700,000 people signed a petition calling for the impeachment of Thomas after he helped to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The petition to impeach Clarence Thomas is a MoveOn petition that now allegedly has more than 870,000 signatures.
In addition to overturning Roe, they claim Justice Thomas is going after other “rights” in his dissent.
They also argue that he should have recused himself from a ruling related to Jan. 6, regurgitating the false claim his wife was involved in “coup attempts.”
It has become clear that his wife—longtime conservative activist Ginni Thomas—was actively urging the White House to overturn election results both leading up to January 6 and after the deadly insurrection.
Thomas’ failure to recuse himself warrants immediate investigation and heightened alarm. And it’s only 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 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.
That screaming or signing a petition isn’t going to make [Justice Thomas] resign or get him impeached.
[I]maginary conspiracies that you make up against his wife don’t count.
This petition isn’t even valuable for assessing opinion, since you can give a fake name and email and your signature still counts, making it easily hijacked.
They could scream madly into the night (and we’ve all seen them do just that) and it would have the same effect—nothing.
And as one contributing columnist to the Washington Post points out—this crap isn’t even news and shouldn’t be treated as such.
Can’t believe this is treated like news. It’s a MoveOn internet petition. Despite the story saying it “was created after the Supreme Court overturned Roe,” when you go to the site it clearly shows “signatures” were being collected three months ago. Such drivel. https://t.co/Pvv9rAw4Wy

As noted by Gary Abernathy, MoveOn started collecting signatures on the petition three months before the Roe decision.
They must have updated their “explanation” of the petition since.
The Hill doesn’t make note of that. So, this petition is worth exactly nothing beyond giving MoveOn some more willing dupes to solicit. But it’s still being reported as though it’s something.

This shows us not only how worthless the leftist petitions are here, but how worthless media is if they report it as some kind of significant thing without pointing out the issues.
Personally, I’ve learned to dislike The Hill despite sources describing the publication as middle-right or middle-left.
Final thoughts, concerns and a warning: The mental state of the radical left seems to be digressing very deeply very rapidly. I’m concerned for Conservatives in general and particularly Conservatives in leadership positions. With the crazies becoming crazier and the democrat-communist leadership becoming more demonstrative, a violent event may be only minutes away.
