Justice Thomas

Developing. Democratic Senators going after Clarence Thomas. The reason. Not reporting the source of his wife's income for the last 15 years or so. The Dems will stoop this low to try to get the tie breaker on Obamacare. Madness in the Beltway!

He probably screwed up on this one,  it seems. Would not at all be surprised though if I wasn't him personally who did this but rather an accountant or CPA that he hired.

Impartial jurist with partiality to the Heritage Foundation and the billionaire Koch Brothers.  Makes perfect sense.  Thomas voted corporations are people with unlimited influence in all elections in the USA.

Well done. 

Let's not kid ourselves here starwink and act like Thomas isn't independently conservative aside from any closeness he has to those individuals. Thomas had a long, long track record of conservative jurisprudence prior to any of the allegations here.

Looks like a termite treatment is needed at the SCOTUS

Now, the same Supreme Court that ruled in favor of corporation's unlimited influence in elections, is going to rule on the legality of a national health care program. 

Did you see Scalia yesterday?  He said the gridlock in Washington was exactly what the founding fathers wanted when they created our government.  A do-nothing Congress!!! 

Starwink -- I'm still not really sure how this failure to disclose would make a difference in the Citizens United ruling or even the "Obamacare" expected ruling?

It won't have any effect on the rulings.  Only if Thomas is removed from the bench.  He definitely isn't impartial, though.  The public deserves at the very least, background on who helps to pay the Thomas family bills.

Hard for me to imagine that this could lead to his removal from the bench. He'll likely blame the oversight on a hired professional, which (if true) is a legitimate defense.

He's right, Star.

The obama appointees are impartial?

Totally bought and paid for.

Kagan should recuse herself from any matter that is remotely tangent to Zer0.

There's actually real, legitimate grounds IMO for Kagan to recuse herself on the "Obamacare" case that hits the SCOTUS.

all of this is being done specifically because of kagan needing to recuse herself from the obamacare hearing

kagan crafted the entire legal reasoning for obamacare while as solicitor general

ill trade you thomas for kagan

seems fair right? obama paid kagan's rent for 09 and 2010

its all because hes not an uncle tom.....oh yeah.....race card baby

why in the world do you want any elected officials to do anything given their track record up to this point

you think suddenly they will pass some legislation that will be the panacea to your troubles

big business has had a hold on our legislators ever since the west was won

no legislation from these corrupt bastards is a good thing in my opinion

 

How is that stooping low?  Don't you believe in the rule of law?  Thomas clearly violated the law, for decades. 

I beg to differ with you... His taxes are his responsibility. I do not believe he can delegate the responsibility to a third party. If he did not review his taxes he is incompatant and is not fit to hold a position of authority.

The Dems had their feeling hurt because the income of the wife of Thomas is not on some form. Hogwash with the rule of law in this specific case.

I agree we should be able to file tax forms with whatever errors we wish and it be accepted without question, in my specific case, in my neighbors specific case, and in the specific cases of my kin folk...

dont forget the secretary of the treasury

So the rule of law only applies when it's convenient to you politically?  Isn't the whole point of 'rule of law' is that it is absolute and not only when convenient?

I have not seen the rule of law applied to Charlie Rangel. A perfect example of political convenience. The perpetual double standard always appllies to the Left.
