The VERY STRONG CASE for IMPEACHING Clarence Thomas [View all]

[Vinnie From Indy]

“… Common Cause discovered that Thomas had failed to disclose a source of income for 13 years on required federal forms. Thomas stated that his wife, Virginia, had no income, when in truth she had hundreds of thousands of dollars of income from conservative organizations, including roughly $700,000 from the Heritage Foundation between 2003 and 2007. Thomas reported ‘none’ in answering specific questions about ‘spousal non-investment income’ on annual forms — answers expressly made ‘subject to civil and criminal sanctions’."

The operative words here are: “subject to civil and criminal sanctions.” In other words, Justice Thomas’s actions were allegedly against the law.

Let’s assume that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer had failed to report income associated with a speech given at the annual U.S. Socialist Conference, where the International Socialist Organization (ISO) picked up all of his four-day expenses. In addition, let’s assume that Justice Breyer illegally failed to disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars paid to his wife by MoveOn.org and Planned Parenthood during the last thirteen years.

How long do you think it would take for the conservative members of the House to begin drafting articles of impeachment against Justice Breyer? Two days??
