US House Leftists Call For Investigation of Justice Thomas Because He Didn’t Declare His Wife’s Income
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, September 30, 2011, 5:51 PM
They must be racists.
20 far left House democrats called for aninvestigation of Clarence Thomas because his wife made money at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank.
Roll Call reported:
A group of House Democrats alleging that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas violated ethics rules by failing to report his wife’s income called for a federal investigation into the matter today.
The group of 20 House Democrats led by Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) sent a letter to the U.S. Judicial Conference, the governing body for federal courts, saying that Thomas has failed to report the income of his wife, Virginia, who earned $700,000 from 2003 to 2007 while working at the Heritage Foundation, according to news reports.
The letter came just days before the Supreme Court returns for the new session, during which it is expected to consider a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Obama administration’s sweeping health care law. With such high-profile issues on the horizon for the court, the lawmakers wrote, “it is vital that the Judicial Conference actively pursue any suspicious actions by Supreme Court Justices.”
“Justice Thomas’s failure to disclose his wife’s income for his entire tenure on the federal bench and indications that he may have failed to file additional disclosure regarding his travels require the Judicial Conference to refer this matter to the Department of Justice,” the group wrote in a letter to the secretary of the Judicial Conference.
The lawmakers also suggest the issue should be taken up by Attorney General Eric Holder if the Judicial Conference determines that Thomas purposely failed to report his income and that of his wife.

Sasja commented:
The left hates Justice Thomas because he’s black and a conservative. Blacks are not supposed to leave the liberal plantation. They are going to try to hound him off the Court just by throwing out some idiotic charge against him. When it comes to a conservative in their mind, it’s not the evidence, only the seriousness of the charge against them that matters.

Wm T Sherman commented:
Will the Heritage Foundation profit from the outcome of the decision?
If not, these people can just blow away in the breeze. It’s just part of some last desperate measures to show their left-wing base that they are trying. They’ll throw everything and the kitchen sink to try to show they tried to save that crown jewel of the socialist re-making of America, Obamacare.
And when is Kagan going to recuse herself? She was heavily involved in the White House’s 2009 Obamacare machinations and according to the law, she has to stay out of this now. They forgot to mention that.

Wm T Sherman
Not only that, Kagan should be forced to recuse herself when matters of National security, jihad go before the SCOTUS. She has actively worked FOR binLaden+Saudis AGAINST 9-11 families and victims
From Judicial Watch link :
Kagan’s Saudi/bin Laden money connection probably served as an inspiration in protecting the Saudi kingdom against a lawsuit for financing the 2001 terror attacks. Thousands of family members of 9/11 victims sued Saudi Arabia and several members of its royal family for actively aiding in financing the attacks through front groups posing as charities. As Solicitor General, Kagan blocked the lawsuit, citing the “potentially significant foreign-relations consequences of subjecting another sovereign state to suit.”
Kagan’s ties to Goldman Sachs :
Then there are her financial ties to Goldman Sachs, the global investment firm embroiled in a major fraud scandal. Kagan was a handsomely paid “advisor” at the embattled Wall Street titan that donates generously to Democrats and some believe she will be the firm’s “Golden Girl” on the Supreme Court if she gets confirmed.

Let’s look at Obama’s foreign donations! Let’s see who gave the Obama campaign cash and let’s see if there’s a correlation with where the money that’s been doled out from the “stimulus” went to.
Besides, why would they go after a SC justice right before they rule on Obamacare? Sounds fishy.
dwd commented:
Yeah, because he’s more conflicted than ELENA KAGAN who actually defended Obamacare for the government! If they want Thomas to recuse himself, then Kagan would have to as well, and then we’re back where we started with Kennedy deciding this.

Yeah, but the republicans do not stoop to lows of the democrats.

Craig, In addition, Cain supports Affirmative Action! He says he does not support it then goes on to say he doesn’t think anyone will object to “Leveling the Playing Field!” What does he think Affirmative Action is if not leveling the playing field? After Obama you would think people would do extensive research before supporting any candidate but sadly they still follow blindly.
I spent a lot of time researching newspaper and magazine articles, speeches and voting records and it is amazing how much I have discovered.

Mike commented:
This is the start of many smears against Justice Thomas. The left is trying to bully him into recusing himself from the pending Supreme Court case regarding Obamacare. Of course, the left will not apply the same pressure to Justice Kagan, who should recuse herself due to former membership in the Obama administration.
maraz commented:
THIS IS THE PLAN OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION:
Now that ObamaCare is making its way to the Supreme Court – they need Justice Thomas off the court. This is their plan to winning: To stack the court with communist and marxist-loving Kagan and Sotomayor appointees, and to get rid of Thomas to tilt the Supreme Court vote in the direction of the Administration.
They will push hard to smear the reputation of Thomas and you won’t hear a peep about Kagan or Sotomayor.

Freddy commented:
Rep Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) also happens to be the one that was on Pelosi’s rules committee that determined that there were no rules when creating the deem-n-pass rule for the healthcare bill. When busted on that effort, she crafted the rules that allowed for non-related components to be added to that bill. Namely, the takeover without any debate of the student loan program by the federal government. Of course, that program is now failing and will cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars. She is one slimey piece of congressional work.
Patty commented:
And then if that doesn’t work, hang him for the nearest tree, lynch him, water board him, put the screws to him, shove jagged wood between his finger nails and then above all else get the criminal S.O.B. Holder to look into it.
WHERE’S RANGEL WHEN YOU NEED HIM!
Patty commented:
The Ethics in Government Act of 1978 requires federal officials, including Supreme Court justices, to disclose their spouse’s income and in the appropriate section of his 2003 to 2009 disclosure forms Justice Thomas checked the box for “none.”
Thomas’ omission of the information could be interpreted as a violation of that law and could carry a penalty, Stephen Gillers, a professor at NYU School of Law told the L.A. Times.
Yet Steven Lubet, an expert on judicial ethics at Northwestern University School of Law, said leaving out the information isn’t a crime and there is a potential civil penalty.
“I am not aware of a single case of a judge being penalized simply for this,” he told the L.A. Times.

It start from the bottom up. Local liberal getting elected is a REAL problem. The less of them the better off things will be. If more Conservative or Republican people are elected we could change the damage that has been done state to state, baby steps, maybe but it can’t get any worse than what we are seeing.
And should Obama be re-elected if will be even more difficult for him when CONGRESS AND THE HOUSE ARE ALL TEA PARTY OR REPUBLICANS.

OK. I’m not a leftist law school professor, but I did graduate from law school. Although Clarence Thomas is paid by the federal government, he is not a federal employee for the purposes of the 1978 law.

I just checked the list of members names from the Democrat Socialist Party, and what do you know, “Hon. Louise Slaughter (NY-28)” name is on the list. Also to, she’s been placed by other higher up’s who are also in the Socialist Party on the Judiciary Committee to make sure there are Socialists on the Supreme Court so that our Constitution will never be rightly enforced stopping Socialist bills coming out of the Democrats. She needs to be forced to admit to what party she belongs to, then demand that she step down from her position with the Committee due to being unfit to judge who and what gets judicial appointment. She and the Committee also approves Presidential apppointments to the district courts as well. So she and the other Socialists on this Committee are responsible for Socialists or Marxists, or worse Communists being appointed to the lower courts.
PEOPLE OF NEW YORK DISTRICT 28! YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU ELECTED A CARD CARRYING SOCIALIST TO BE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE. SHE IS UNAMERICAN! YOU NEED TO VOTE HER OUT OF OFFICE AND MAKE SURE SHE IS INVESTIGATED FOR UNAMERICAN ACTIVITIES, AND IS NEVER ALLOWED TO BE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICAL POSITION EVER AGAIN. IT’S UP TO YOU TO FIND OUT THE BACKGROUND OF ANYONE YOU PLAN ON VOTING FOR AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY SUPPORT THIS NATION OR FOR SOME OTHER AGENDA, LIKE CONVERTING AMERICA INTO A SOCIALIST EURPEAN STYLE NATION RUN BY THE U.N.!!

HON. JERROLD NADLER (NY-08)
HON. CHARLES RANGEL (NY-15)
HON. NYDIA VELAZQUEZ (NY-12)
These people need to be exposed, and I guess I’m doing some of that here. These people need to be exposed to their constituents, the very people who have voted them into office need to be convinced that these representatives DO NOT represent the people who voted them into office, but they represent the Socialist Party of America which has been renamed the Democratic Socialist Party. These people are still using the name “Democrat Party” as a cover until a time is reached where they have gotten their voters softened up enough to the idea that Socialism is not what those like in the Tea Party have told them it is. And that conservatives are the real enemy of America, they want us to return to a time where racism and discremination is brought back into American politics. They are softly brain washing Blacks into believing that they should join the Socialist Party because it IS the party that cares about them the most.
It is the party that has enslaved them all this time on Welfare, and abortions of their babies. More and more Socialists are telling the people of America that the Tea Party is lying about the evils of Socialism and Marxism, that those ideologies are not what is said about them. That Socialism will save America. It has been what is causing all these problems we’ve been having. And I can prove it. Obama is at least a Socialist, but moreso a Marxist like his father.
mcc commented:
In case there’s confusion and no one else pointed this out: Justice Thomas, I’m pretty sure, didn’t pull a Turbo Timmy: fail to include (wife’s) income on tax returns.
I think he just didn’t report or “disclose” that his wife worked for Heritage Fdn(?) which might prove a conflict of interest in certain cases. Pretty lame. But –
They’re looking for anything to eliminate conservatives on the Court – a tactic BO himself has successfully used probably every time he’s run for office: he eliminates his opposition by scouring their history for some small infraction or embarrassment.
It would only occur to the King of Ethical/Law Violations to do such a thing. Egad. When will he be held to even the lowest of standards?
