If a liberal Justice had done what Thomas has done, with a repug
in the White House and a repug Attorney General and a repug held Senate, what do you think would happen?

They would go ape shit, full force to remove him or her. There would be investigations and likely attempts to impeach.

Why is it crickets from the Dems? I consider Thomas a political enemy, and all Democrats should as well. When your political practices behavior that very well be in violation of the law, and you have the ability to hold them accountable, you should take it.

1. That would be looking back.
We can't have that. Bipartisanship and all that rot. Really, I don't have a clue as to why they are acting like this. They should be all over it like they were on Weiner.

6. THE FRAUD NEVER ENDS and republicans don't want our democracy to work
THEY WILL TRY TO BLOCK ALL THEY CAN... AND REMEMBER THEY HAVE THE MONEY.

2. The Dems in Congress would be screaming asking for the justice's head
As would the Repukes.

3. Thomas's corruption needs to become an issue in this election.
Every Democratic candidate needs to point to Clarence Thomas.

4. Because if they did, Justice Slappy would intone that he was the victim of a high tech lynching
And all the popular media people would scold the Democrats for being so mean (and racist) to poor Justice Slappy and his latest lovely wife.

8. Why the crickets? Same reason the Wash. Generals coach never gets t-ed up against the Globetrotters
People don't tend to make a lot of noise protesting during exhibitions that they're scripted to lose.

9. Tried to answer that on Sunday. It appears that there's no stomach to fight, so they made a deal
Also explains why Weiner was done in by the leadership of both parties and nobody on the Democratic side picked up the flag that Weiner dropped after he got the firing squad.

There's another frackin' deal, and may have to do with the Court's upcoming consideration of Obama's health insurance law. See, http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x608788

Indict Clarence Thomas
