51. Yes, and he was making a lot of progress. That is why Thomas' friends, Breitbart et al

had been stalking Weiner on the internet for months just waiting for an opportunity to get him. He was demanding that Thomas be asked to come clean, or at least his wife, about their conflicts of interest re SC decisions from which, Weiner insisted, correctly, (Citizens United especially) Thomas should have recused himself. Had he been an honest man, considering his ties, and his wife's, to Citizens United, and done what SC Justices are expected to do and recused himself, we would not have that 'Corps are people' ruling.

Weiner was a bulldog on this issue. He was also co-sponsoring a law that SC Justices had to reveal conflicts such as Thomas' in the future, since surprisingly there is no such law, apparently we just trust them to do the right thing.

His fight on this was gaining traction and that was when the Breitbart crowd stepped up their stalking and harassment of him. Sadly our own party sided with them in the end. He never should have resigned imo. He did nothing illegal. But with pressure from Dem leadership, he had no choice in the end, and Thomas was off the hook and that law never went anywhere.
