I have opposed Clarence \u201cTeabag\u201d Thomas for a long long time, beginning with watching Anita Hill testify at his confirmation hearing.  Later, when he attended Koch Brothers strategy sessions with Herr Scalia, I thought there was justifiable grounds to impeach him, but sadly, grounds are not enough, no matter how right it would be to do so.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"teabag-thomas\"In 2011, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas gave a speech<\/a> to the Federalist Society where he defended Ginni Thomas’ activism, saying he and Ginni "believe in the same things."<\/strong> Toward the end, he said they were "equally yoked" because they both were defenders of liberty. <\/p>\n

That’s a lovely sentiment, but when placed in a larger context, particularly with regard to her current activism with the likes of True the Vote, the Daily Caller, and the entire Groundswell team<\/a>, it’s an extreme conflict of interest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Clarence Thomas is only one example of the conflicts in which our government is awash, but his is an egregious one… <\/p>\n

…Let’s just get this out of the way right now. When a sitting Supreme Court justice is married to a woman who received nearly a million dollars from a wealthy Texas billionaire to oppose the Affordable Care Act in a high-profile fashion, the answer shouldn’t be that spouses are entitled to do whatever they want<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There are circumstances where they can’t do what they want, and one clear one is a situation where their spouse is going to rule on a related case. No other federal judge would be permitted to hear or issue opinions about cases where his or her spouse is publicly acting as advocate for one side or the other<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

It’s unethical<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019ve seen video of Ginny in action, and she reminds me of Batshit B, but not quite as bright.  You can be certain that Ginny would not have the high profile jobs or bring home the big bucks, that are a significant portion of Teabag\u2019s family income, if Teabag were not part of the package that the Koch Brothers, et al<\/em>, are buying.  That\u2019s bribery.<\/font><\/p>\n

To impeach a supreme Court Injustice, you need articles of impeachment passed by a majority of the House and conviction in the Senate by a two thirds majority, 67 votes.<\/font><\/p>\n

The Stanley Cup finals will be played in hell before either the current House or Senate goes along with those requirements.  So, it we want to impeach Teabag, it\u2019s up to us to change the makeup of the House and Senate.  Teaching others why every Republican in office is one Republican too many is our job.  Lets get to work!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
