HONEST AMERICAN'S NO LONGER HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU... U.S. SUPREME COURT JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS !!!

AMERICAN PRESIDENT NIXON LEFT OFFICE 4 THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY & SO SHOULD U.S. SUPREME COURT JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMA$...

ALL OF US MIGHT NOT HAVE AGREED WITH WHAT RICHARD NIXON WAS ACCUSED OF,BUT WE ALL CAN CERTAINLY AGREE THAT HE TOOK THE PROPER NECESSARY STEPS IN OUR GOVERNMENT WHEN IT
BECAME QUITE OBVIOUS THAT HIS FUTURE LEADERSHIP OF AMERICA WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT ONE FOR HIM TO CONTINUE BEING A WORLD LEADER THAT NEEDED CREDIBILITY IN AND OUT OF AMERICA.

** SINCE U.S. SUPREME COURT JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS FEELS HE CAN CONTINUE TO BE AN
EFFECTIVE AMERICAN SUPREME COURT JUSTICE AFTER THESE OBVIOUS WELL PLANNED FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE LAPSES PUTTING HIS WIFE'S AND HIS INTEREST$ AHEAD OF OUR COUNTRIES, LAWYERS FOR POOR AMERICANS ALSO FEELS IT MIGHT BE THE RIGHT TIME FOR HIM TO STEP ASIDE AND ALLOW ANOTHER MORE TRUSTWORTHY JUDICIAL JUSTICE ASSUME HIS FUTURE DUTIES IN WASHINGTON DC....

IF PRESIDENT NIXON COULD FIND THE COURAGE AND DECENCY TO REMOVE HIMSELF FROM OUR WHITE~HOUSE FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY,NOTHING LESS SHOULD ALSO BE EXPECTED FROM OUR U.S. SUPREME COURT JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMA$...

AMERICA NEEDS THE COMPLETE TRUST OF ALL OUR NON ELECTED U.S. SUPREME COURT JUSTICES TO BE LEADERS WITH INTEGRITY BEYOND REPROACH,AND WHEN THAT TRUST IS BROKEN,IT CAN NEVER REALLY BE REGAINED IN OR OUT OF OFFICE AGAIN !!!

LAWYERS FOR POOR AMERICANS WILL CONTINUE OUR WWW LOBBYING EFFORT TO REMOVE THIS WASHINGTON ELITE JUSTICE UNTIL JUSTICE THOMAS BEGINS TO THINK AND ACT IN AMERICA'S
INTEREST BEFORE HIS AND HIS WIFES OWN SELFISH INTERST$....

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE THOMAS FACING POSSIBLE IMPEACHMENT
January 29, 2011

WORST SUPREME COURT JUSTICE IN HISTORY
CLARENCE THOMAS WHAT???
Between 2003 and 2007, Virginia Thomas, a longtime conservative activist, earned $686,589 from the Heritage Foundation, according to a Common Cause review of the foundation’s IRS records. Thomas failed to note the income in his Supreme Court financial disclosure forms for those years, instead checking a box labeled “none” where “spousal noninvestment income” would be disclosed.
Editor’s Note: In Monsanto v. Geertson Seed Farms, No. 09-475 decided last year by the U.S. Supreme Court, Thomas did not recuse himself though he worked as an attorney for Monsanto from the years 1976 – 1979. Thomas apparently did not see this as a conflict of interest.
By Michael Tomasky for the Guardian.co.uk
So we have Palin and Bachmann who don’t care what they say. And what about this guy, who doesn’t seem to care what he does:
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas failed to report his wife’s income from a conservative think tank on financial disclosure forms for at least five years, the watchdog group Common Cause said Friday.
Between 2003 and 2007, Virginia Thomas, a longtime conservative activist, earned $686,589 from the Heritage Foundation, according to a Common Cause review of the foundation’s IRS records. Thomas failed to note the income in his Supreme Court financial disclosure forms for those years, instead checking a box labeled “none” where “spousal noninvestment income” would be disclosed.
In his 2009 disclosure, Justice Thomas also reported spousal income as “none.” Common Cause contends that Liberty Central paid Virginia Thomas an unknown salary that year.

NEOCON PROFITEERS?
Federal judges are bound by law to disclose the source of spousal income, according to Stephen Gillers, a professor at NYU School of Law. Thomas’ omission — which could be interpreted as a violation of that law — could lead to some form of penalty, Gillers said.
“It wasn’t a miscalculation; he simply omitted his wife’s source of income for six years, which is a rather dramatic omission,” Gillers said. “It could not have been an oversight.”
Another professor is quoted farther down in the piece saying it’s not really a crime. This lawyer, a Kos diarist, says like hell it isn’t a crime:
While 5 USC app 104 makes this conduct a misdemeanor punishable for up to a year in prison, 18 USC 1001 is, on its face still applicable. Take a look at the indictment against Don Young’s former aide, who is awaiting trial for a violation of 18 USC 1001 for failing to report his World Series Trip if you have doubts.
While there is no doubt an argument to be made that this conduct is just a misdemeanor, take a look at UNITED STATES v. WOODWARD, 469 U.S. 105 (1985) where a person checking the “no” box on a custom form was punished both for the false statement (18 USC 1001) violation and the charge of failing to report the currency itself — all as a result of checking the “no” box.
Obviously, Thomas is not going to be indicted over this. But how could a man – a member of the Supreme Court! – just openly lie on such a form? Lie? Yes, rather obviously. Let’s put it this way. If you or I were filling out a form, and we came to a question about our spouse’s income, and we knew very well that our spouse had income, we would check the appropriate income category. And here is one of the nine leading legal people in the United States. On what conceivable honest basis could he have thought his wife, who got up every morning and went to work every day at one of Washington’s most richly endowed think tanks, had no income? For six years?
I wish we had a satirist, a Balzac, chronicling this age. It is beyond believability.
