Virginia ‘Ginni’ Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has privately been sending her support to the First Liberty Institute, an anti-court reform group that opposes a stricter ethics code for the court, according to a new report from ProPublica.
First Liberty Institute CEO Kelly Shackelford, who is quoted on the Heritage Foundation’s website as saying “it is truly a privilege to serve on” Project 2025, also gave his thanks to Thomas for her support in a leaked July donor call.
“I cannot adequately express enough appreciation for you guys pulling into reacting to the Biden effort on the Supreme Court,” Thomas wrote in an email to the group, referring to President Joe Biden’s proposed plan to impose term limits of SCOTUS justices and require them to report gifts.
