“Justice accused of failing to list wife’s income” – Sunday “Oregonian,” January 23, 2011


What? How could that be with all of our Supreme Court justices sworn to uphold the law. Is that really true? It be true! Good old Clarence Thomas pulled a fast one and reported spousal income as “none” for five years between 2004 and 2007. Wife Virginia, the blond by his side, was paid $686,589 by the Heritage Foundation which is an ultra conservative organization. Virginia is a longtime conservative activist which is no big surprise. She is also a little crazy! On October 9, 2010, at 7:31am on a Saturday, twenty years after Anita Hill spoke at the confirmation hearing for Clarence to the Supreme Court and told how he had sexually harassed her many times, his wife called Anita’s office and left a message asking her to publicly apologize for her mistake and straighten things out. What was that all about! Is she really crazy? You’d think she’d know there was no way in hell that that would ever happen.

Virginia keeps herself busy, doing things other than making stupid phone calls. She is active in Liberty Central which opposes what she characterizes as the leftist “tyranny” of the Obama administration and congressional democrats. There have been questions because of the unusual circumstances of a spouse of a sitting Supreme Court justice drawing a salary from a group financed by anonymous donors.

It seems that those two can get away with just about anything they want. I’m wondering why that is. There could be many reasons but it wouldn’t be socially and politically correct to mention them. I didn’t like Clarence when he was put on the court and never could figure out how he managed to weasel his way onto it. I dislike him even more now. Is that the only job in the country that is for life? What a shame. Possibly no one else would hire him at the time with all of his sexual harassment exploits finally out in the open. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens next.
