There is nothing laughable about the impeachment addiction!

Jonathan Turley writes about the effort by some in Congress to impeach Justice Clarence Thomas. Why impeach him? Because Thomas's wife Gini made 29 phone calls to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to tell him that she believed the 2020 election was fraudulent. Turley writes,
The calls for the impeachment of Justice Thomas are ludicrous but there is nothing laughable about the impeachment addiction fueling this frenzy. People of good faith can disagree on the need of Thomas to recuse himself from certain Commission-related cases. However, impeaching Thomas based on these grounds would expose all justices to the threat of politically motivated impeachments as majorities shift in Congress. That is precisely what the Framers sought to avoid under our Constitution.
