Evidence is mounting that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas violated federal law by failing to report his wife's annual salary of more than $120,000 per year from conservative political organizations by checking "NONE" on the box for "Non-Investment Income" for his wife Virginia on judicial Financial Disclosure Reports for the last 20 years.

According to the "self-initiated amendment" letters signed by Thomas as dated Friday, January 21, 2011, and stamped as "RECEIVED" by the Judicial Conference of the U.S. Committee on Financial Disclosure on a Saturday, January 22, 2011, the Justice failed to reveal such sources of spousal income even on his original nomination disclosure forms during his contentious 1991 confirmation hearings.

>>>BUSTED! But will this turkey ever share a cell with Bernie Madoff? And where's our corporate media coverage of this flatulent corruption?

1. He didn't have to report it because they paid her in porn videos.

Seriously though, when can we impeach this asshole?

2. The 12th of never would seem inevitable

3. But when exposed on a progressive website....

Did it really HAPPEN? :eyes: I'd dearly love to see his ass thrown out of the USSC. I fear I won't live long enough. I fear that none of us will.

4. I heard a couple of folks debating this on NPR last week - his defender

was claiming it was no big deal - he was consistent in not reporting it. It would have been worse, apparently, if he reported it for years, then omitted the salary. That would indicate trying to get away with something.

Apparently it is extremely clear that it should be reported on the disclosure.

I wonder what would happen to one of us should we omit a spoouse's salary from our income tax.

Again, a clear indication of two sets of laws. One for the politically elite, and one for the rest of us.

And of course, the AG, appointed by the administration, will simply ignore this - like the laws broken by the previous administration.
