During the same call, Shackelford accused Justice Elena Kagan—who had the audacity to endorse the creation of a committee to look into possible violations of the Court’s new ethics code—of being “treasonous” and “disloyal.” He also said that the various reform proposals were part of “a dangerous attempt to really destroy” the Supreme Court by “people in the progressive, extreme left” who were “upset by just a few cases.”
First Liberty sent a recording of the call to some supporters; it was was obtained by ProPublica. The group did not respond to ProPublica’s questions about Shackelford’s comments. Instead, in a statement, the group’s executive general counsel said: “First Liberty is extremely alarmed at the Leftist attacks on our democracy and judicial independence and is fighting to bring attention to this dangerous threat. It’s shameful that the political Left seems perfectly fine destroying democracy to achieve the court decisions they favor instead of working through democratic and constitutional means.”
Sending the email to Shackelford was far from the first time Ginni Thomas has weighed in on political issues. She also sent numerous messages following the 2020 election that made baseless claims of fraud, writing in one—to then White House chief of staff Mark Meadows—that “Biden and the Left is attempting the greatest Heist of our History.” She urged Trump not to stand down. Despite this, Clarence Thomas refused to recuse himself from cases concerning Trump and the 2020 election.
