farglebargle -> Clarance Thomas MUST RESIGN TO PRESERVE HONOR OF USSC!!! (6/8/2011 6:27:52 AM)

Clarance Thomas' failure to disclose his family income of $650,000 from people with business before the US Supreme Court has dishonored the highest court, and he MUST RESIGN TO PRESERVE THE HONOR AND DIGNITY OF THE JUDICIARY.

Justice Thomas knew that the box marked NONE next to the phrase "Spouse's Non-Investment Income" should only be checked if his spouse had no non-investment income.

In fact Ginni Thomas was paid nearly $700,000 between 2003 and 2007, as well as an undisclosed amount by another lobbying group in 2009. Justice Thomas' false statements regarding his wife's income certainly constitute a misdemeanor, and quite probably a felony, under federal law. (They would be felonies if he were prosecuted under 18. U.S.C. 1001, which criminalizes knowingly making false statements of material fact to a federal agency. This is the law Martha Stewart was convicted of breaking by lying to investigators.)

I'll have to call a bookie, bet their giving at least 5,000 to 1 on that happening.

Not that I disagree, but we all know the situation. It'll be swept uder the rug.

T^T

So who will make him resign?  He doesn't intend to do it on his own.



farglebargle -> RE: Clarance Thomas MUST RESIGN TO PRESERVE HONOR OF USSC!!! (6/8/2011 6:49:18 AM)

We could make him resign by refusing to stop talking about how he needs to resign to restore the honor of the Court.

Honestly good luck with that one,

Well, if you're ok with USSC Justices being for sale for as little as half a million dollars, then go ahead and sit on the sidelines.

Me? I Love America, and I can't tolerate a Supreme Court is not just for sale, but when there's clear evidence of that corruption, that it's OK to let it slide.



Lucylastic -> RE: Clarance Thomas MUST RESIGN TO PRESERVE HONOR OF USSC!!! (6/8/2011 7:12:35 AM)

Oh, so you went for the anal bleaching then?

Just keep discussing it. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, even if they don't get a vote.

Yawwwwnnnn.

1. Old news
2. There is no law violation, since there is no law requiring the disclosure, its a practice instituted by the Court itself.
3. The amounts are never disclosed, its just a check or no check box, so claiming he "failed to disclose $650,000" is a misstatement of the practice.
4. He said he misunderstood the circumstances under which it was to be checked. Its great to know we have another fucking mindreader here who actually "knows" that he knew it had to be checked.

This hasnt gone anywhere in 7 months, and wont go anywhere for the next 7 years.

LMAO Ron
I have a sparkling minty white bunghole
Ok that was a quote from the ass bleaching thread many moons ago.

Fargle, Im not gonna let them stop me:)
I laugh and mock freely when they suggest it





farglebargle -> RE: Clarance Thomas MUST RESIGN TO PRESERVE HONOR OF USSC!!! (6/8/2011 7:21:55 AM)

If he didn't report it on the disclosure, how do we know he reported it on his taxes?

You know, at work we have Ethics policies, which aren't Laws either. And know what happens if I violate them, by perhaps failing to disclose investments covered under the Associate Investment Monitoring program?

I get fired.

That's because we care about the reputation of our bank, and even the appearance of impropriety is not tolerated!

Now, which should be more observant to their ethics policies? A national bank, or the US Supreme Court?

That's a trick question, btw. You either ARE in compliance, or you ARE NOT in compliance. And you know, HE KNEW she had non-investment income. He LIED that she didn't. Period. End of story.

Well in that case willbe, I want the asshole to resign due to gross and humongous stupidity.Is he really trying to put forth,and you are endorsing ,the idea that a Supreme Court Justice is too dumb to understand a simple yes or no please check the box form ?
Is that what you are hanging your hat on?That is tight up there with "I didn't inhale"....which,I have to tell you ,I took as a personal affront to my own intelligence as a voter....are your standards so fucking low?



farglebargle -> RE: Clarance Thomas MUST RESIGN TO PRESERVE HONOR OF USSC!!! (6/8/2011 1:17:14 PM)

U.S. Title 28

Under Section 455, it states that "Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned."

The key word there being "proceeding"

You are demanding he step down from the bench altogether...

While apparently hypocritically ignoring apparent conflicts from leftist jurors on that same court.

there are no leftist jurors, nor rightist jurors, there are no jurors altogether, in the supreme court.



Lucylastic -> RE: Clarance Thomas MUST RESIGN TO PRESERVE HONOR OF USSC!!! (6/8/2011 1:54:38 PM)

To the tune of $650,000?

If he had done the honest and ethical thing, the thing I must do EVERY DAY AT WORK OR I GET FIRED, he would have disclosed the, let's say "Bribe" and then he would have the option of recusing himself.

Unfortunately, Clarence Thomas chose to lie on his disclosure filings, in an attempt to conceal the source of the money. At that point, the real question is, "Why hasn't he resigned in disgrace?"



juliaoceania -> RE: Clarance Thomas MUST RESIGN TO PRESERVE HONOR OF USSC!!! (6/8/2011 2:46:05 PM)

The only way to get rid of him is impeachment, so the pressure should be to start impeachment proceedings, and with the makeup of congress, I am thinking it would be extremely difficult, but you need a plan if you really believe in your cause, perhaps a website, other people who think like you, etc.



slvemike4u -> RE: Clarance Thomas MUST RESIGN TO PRESERVE HONOR OF USSC!!! (6/8/2011 2:58:05 PM)

Thomas is an asshole,plain and simple...unfortunately we all stood by enraptures with the scintillating details as his accuser was besmirched and generally flayed on national tv during the confirmation hearings..now we are stuck with the sight of a morally bankrupt and totally mediocre legal mind sits on the nations highest court.
