Clarence Thomas' wife's bullshit teabag party launch

[Cha]

"Justice's Wife(Thomas) Launches 'Tea Party' Group"
Source: LA TIMES

As Virginia Thomas tells it in her soft-spoken, Midwestern cadence, the story of her involvement in the "tea party" movement is the tale of an average citizen in action.

"I am an ordinary citizen from Omaha, Neb., who just may have the chance to preserve liberty along with you and other people like you," she said at a recent panel discussion with tea party leaders in Washington. Thomas went on to count herself among those energized into action by President Obama's "hard-left agenda."

She is the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and she has launched a tea-party-linked group that could test the traditional notions of political impartiality for the court.

In January, Virginia Thomas created Liberty Central Inc., a nonprofit lobbying group whose website will organize activism around a set of conservative "core principles," she said.

The group plans to issue score cards for Congress members and be involved in the November election, although Thomas would not specify how. She said it would accept donations from various sources -- including corporations -- as allowed under campaign finance rules recently loosened by the Supreme Court.

"I adore all the new citizen patriots who are rising up across this country," Thomas, who goes by Ginni, said on the panel at the Conservative Political Action Conference. "I have felt called to the front lines with you, with my fellow citizens, to preserve what made America great."

1. K and so wish we had the power to R

Maybe she is planning to run for office ~ what a piece of **** !

[Cha]

2. This blew me away..and I saw in it in LBN..

have also posted it on a Coffee Party thread but think it's uber important to keep it exposed as a reminder of how far they're willing to go to take away our Democracy.

"Pres Obama's far left agenda"? Conveniently leaving out her facist asshole agenda?..I don't think so, Virginia!

[quiet.american]

3. The wife of a Supreme Court Justice proudly associating herself with a racist movement.

Yeah, and I don't care if she is married to a black man.

Tom Tancredo's opening statement at the "convention," used to be the type of thing that would make prominent people race for the exits so as not to be associated with it. Now, they're racing to embrace it.

Sick.

[Cha]

4. And, not only that..she's proudly flaunting the SC's

Decision to roll back campaign finance restrictions.

<snip>

"By a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court on Thursday rolled back restrictions on corporate spending in federal campaigns. The decision could unleash a torrent of corporate-funded attack ads in upcoming elections.

"Because speech is an essential mechanism of democracy -- it is the means to hold officials accountable to the people -- political speech must prevail against laws that would suppress it by design or inadvertence," wrote Justice Anthony Kennedy for the majority.

In his dissent, Justice John Paul Stevens accused the majority of judicial activism and attacked the use of corporate personhood in the case: "The conceit that corporations must be treated identically to natural persons in the political sphere is not only inaccurate but also inadequate to justify the Court's disposition of this case."

Virginia Thomas is racing to embrace it because she's a facist loving hypocritial liar among anything else..what else could you be, married to Clarence Thomas?

[goclark]

6. Shouldn't there be a policy that says that family members

should SHUT UP about decisions made by the SC.

Is that the wife he has always had or is this a new one?

[Cha]

8. It seems like common sense has always kept

the supremes' spouses out of politics but Pres Obama is bringing the bigots and ignorance out of the woodwork.

[goclark]

12. At least we know for sure that the entire household are

Baggers.

[Hekate]

11. She seems to have been Mrs Thomas from the get-go

[HughMoran]

5. Tea Klux Klan

How can she not know who she's associating with?

[Cha]

7. Tea Klux Klan! She knows.

All those facists are missing a vital chip.

The bottom line is power and they see their's SLIPPING:scared::scared:

[goclark]

9. She must know ~ orchestrated probably by

the same Crime Family that orchestrated her husband into his position.

He never talks in the SC, so now we know who does his thinking for him.

[TicketyBoo]

A judge should not testify voluntarily as a character witness."

16. "Jonathan Turley criticizes Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife for ‘injudicious’

tea party activism."

<snip>

"It's, in a word, injudicious," Turley, a professor of law at George Washington University, said on MSNBC's Countdown With Keith Olbermann. "The fact that this is news is an example of the self-restraint used by most spouses previously."

17. "Doubting the Thomases".. by Andrew Cohen~ The Atlantic

<snip>

"But apparently the justice's front-row seat at the creation and interpretation of constitutional doctrine isn't good enough for his wife, "Ginny." Long a conservative activist (like her husband only more vocal), Ginny Thomas now is pledging to start her own "Tea Party" group to "get the Constitution back to a place where it means something." It's time to fight against "tyranny," she told a fellow activist at last month's Conservative Political Action Committee gathering. I've got nothing against Ginny Thomas' desire to hop on the "Tea Party" bandwagon now that it's rolling toward the 2010 elections. It's a free country and anyone who confesses in public to "listening carefully" to Glenn Beck probably was heading for Teapartydom anyway. But what a bizarre and provocative choice of words to describe her cause! And what an abdication of her identity as a Washington insider responsible (to some extent, anyway) for whatever mess she now seeks to criticizes!"

18. "Virginia warns wife of Justice Clarence Thomas her group is violating law

<snip>

"Virginia consumer-protection officials have warned the wife of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas that her advocacy group is improperly soliciting contributions in the state.

In a letter to Virginia Thomas on Thursday, the state Office of Consumer Affairs directed Liberty Central Inc. to the Virginia law that requires groups to register with the office or request an exemption before seeking donations for a charitable purpose.

Liberty Central is a Virginia-based group soliciting contributions online and is not registered or exempt, said Michael Wright, the manager of regulatory programs at the Office of Consumer Affairs, a branch of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Under state law, political advocacy is considered a charitable purpose.

"They should be filed with us," he said.

Thomas is the president and chief executive of Liberty Central, a nonprofit group hoping to mobilize conservatives online.

The group, which is aiming to appeal to small-government "tea party" activists, was incorporated in Delaware in January and is registered with the Virginia State Corporation Commission.

Thomas has said the group intends to seek donations from individuals and corporations. It also plans to issue score cards for members of Congress and be involved in the November election, although Thomas has not specified how."
