quote, their egregious actions. adding that the actions of reps cheney and kin zinger on behalf of house democrats have given bipartisan justification to an overtly overtly partisan political persecution which demeans the standing of the house. joining me is the chief washington correspondent for the new yorker and the author of the new article, is thomas a threat to the supreme court? thank you for being with us. i want to say clarence and thomas declined to be part of any article. we have not heard back. your story lays out jenny thomas s long history of conservative activism. talk act what you found. well, i mean, she has been an issue for quite some time because she s such a vocal activist in politics. and the court is supposed to be seen as kind of above politics.
