Clarence and Ginni Thomas: getting away with as much as they can!

They're just following in the footsteps of Cheney and DeLay and so many others of their ilk.  It's no surprise that Thomas's wife is as big a liar as her husband--and a lobbyist as well (is there a difference between lobbyists and liars?).  These two are making hay while the sun shines -- and he is on the Supreme Court--for life! (sob).  He didn't report his wife's income for the last 7 years, when her income was almost $800,000 each year.  Thomas: Gee, I kinda' missed that little sum -- don't know how I did that...Oh well.  This lying, sexual-harrassing thief is what we have serving as one of the justices on our Supreme Court!  He and his wife are cashing in in every way they can, with his biased judgment making the Court votes that benefit them both.  This is what Republicans think of as "justice." Washington and Jefferson must be spinning in their graves.  Woe is us!

Clarence Thomas' wife now a Lobbyist

EXCERPT: She started as a congressional aide in the 1980s, became a mid-level Republican operative, then briefly left politics, reemerging in 2009 as founder of a tea party group before stepping down amid continued questions about whether her actions were appropriate for the spouse of a Supreme Court justice.

Now, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, has recast herself yet again, this time as the head of a firm, Liberty Consulting, which boasts on its website using her “experience and connections” to help clients “with “governmental affairs efforts” and political donation strategies....

Legal ethicists asserted that Thomas’s role could compromise her husband’s impartiality, especially since the group is not required to report its donors and could have benefited from the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling last year in which Justice Thomas sided with the majority in a decision that allowed corporations to fund campaign ads, often without disclosing their contributions.

Thomas’s role as a de facto tea party lobbyist and — until recently — as head of a tea party group that worked to defeat Democrats last November “shows a new level of arrogance of just not caring that the court is being politicized and how that undermines the historic image of the Supreme Court as being above the political fray,” said Arn Pearson, a lawyer for Common Cause, ...a government watchdog group.

“It raises additional questions about whether Justice Thomas can be unbiased and appear to be unbiased in cases dealing with the repeal of the health care reform law or corporate political spending when his wife is working to elect members of the tea party and also advocating for their policies.”

Even among congressional Republicans, with whom Thomas boasts she has close ties, the reaction to the entreaties from her new firm, Liberty Consulting ranged from puzzlement to annoyance, with a senior House Republican aide who provided Thomas’s e-mail to POLITICO, blasting her for trying to “cash in” on her ties to the tea party movement.
