Anthony Weiner Joins The EFFORT TO DISBAR Clarence Thomas

:woohoo: :applause: :applause: :applause: :woohoo:



" We recently reported on a watchdog group's call for the disbarment of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Now it looks like Congressional Democrats are picking up the cause. Protect Our Elections (POE) has filed a bar complaint against Thomas in Missouri, based on reporting from Common Cause that the justice failed to report spousal non-investment income on financial-disclosure forms. POE is about to pick up an ally in the battle, according to a report at Huffington Post.



Writes Andrew Reinbach:


" Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) and a group of Congressional Democrats are said to be drafting demands that Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas be disbarred in Missouri for perjury, and investigated by the Department of Justice for bribery, according to House Judiciary Committee aides.




The perjury allegations stem from Justice Thomas' years-long failure to disclose his wife's non-investment income as required by law--something he's now all but admitted. The accusations of bribery are connected to a $100,000 ad campaign, made during Thomas' 1991 confirmation hearings by the conservative Citizens United group, the allegation being that Justice Thomas repaid Citizens United for helping him get confirmed by ruling in their favor in the 2010 Citizens United v. FEC case.



Thomas' legal headaches seem to be picking up steam. Reports Reinbach:



These Congressional actions, which would likely be released before Congress goes into recess next week, bring to three the number of serious--and official--accusations being leveled against Justice Thomas.

5. The corporate elite have slowly maneuvered to implement
infrastructure controls over the masses. Thomas is just another sellout POS puppet working on their behalf. If Thomas is allowed to walk away freely and ward off any serious DoJ criminal investigations which demand ( if found guilty ) that he be disbarred for perjury and charged for FAILURE to disclose his wife's non-investment income ( as required by law ) INTENTIONALLY --something he's now all but admitted, then we should slump down and file this away along with all the current criminal Banksters who OBAMA simply allowed to just walk away FREELY from the biggest financial heist in U.S. history. The proof is in the pudding. When I see Thomas up on criminal charges with motions to impeach running concurrently, then I'll begin to believe that real ' HOPE ' for this nation is still alive and well. Until then, I wouldn't bet on holding my breath too long.

8. Jewish guy, Muslim wife. Keep dreaming.
Jews are what? 2% of the population? The Demographics just aren't there. Otherwise I'm pretty sure Chuck Schumer would have thrown his hat in the ring long ago.

We're an impressive group of people but we don't have the numbers.

9. If you're one of a handful of people who get to pick the president of the USA,

10. Disbarrment would not necessarily get him off the court
Justices don't have to have law degrees. Knowing the republican mindset, he would wear it like a badge of honor:grr:

They need to work on IMPEACHMENT...but in a short while dems may be the minority & could not carry a vote:cry:

14. Everyone here knows you do not need to be a barred attorney to
be on the Supreme Court, right? You actually do not need to be an attorney at all.

15. They disbarred Bill Clinton, and that did ... what?
:shrug:

Clarence will not go away. He savors your hatred. He will be even more right wing, or would be if he could. It's hard to shake a justice loose. Clarence will die on the bench.
