Impeach Clarence Thomas
A Supreme Court Justice may be impeached by the House of Representatives and removed from office if convicted in a Senate trial, but only for the same types of offenses that would trigger impeachment proceedings for any other government official under Articles I and II of the Constitution.

Nothing in this mini film has Clarence Thomas doing anything illegal. It is totally about Mrs. Thomas, not Mister. Besides this point, Mrs. Thomas is an American citizen and as such has the right to espouse any ideology she wishes and to try to muzzle her is blatantly unAmerican. And much of this is old hat I had heard months ago. It seems to me the Democrats need to look at themselves in the mirror as they are proving to be as venal and corrupt as the other side. And you know me, a pox on both sides of the aisle.
This also make me wonder if you have a hankering for the good ol days when wifeys stayed on the sidelines of politics. If that is the case, shouldn't Michelle just keep her mouth shut about anything and just stand by her man?
Wow. Need to digest the misogyny before responding...
The point, Bawdy, is that Thomas does not disclose all of his income and financial transactions, even though he is required by law to do so... or is at least accused of doing so. I think it warrants an investigation by Congress. It is a (potentially) larger transgression than anything Roger Clemens is accused of.
Shouldn't they do this with Rangel first?
Don't know enough about the allegations against Rangel to comment. And don't really care all that much. Rangel is nowhere near the equivalent of a Supreme Court justice in terms of influence and power.
And Rangel is a democrat, so you don't want to know.
Also, if you know anything about DC you would know Rangel has tremendous political power and the accusations are much more egregious and likely.
Actually, Rangel faced a series of allegations of ethics violations and failures to comply with tax laws. The House Ethics Committee focused on whether Rangel improperly rented multiple rent-stabilized New York apartments, improperly used his office in raising money for the Rangel Center at the City College of New York, and failed to disclose rental income from his villa in the Dominican Republic.
In March 2010, Rangel stepped aside as Ways and Means Chair. In November 2010, the Ethics Committee found Rangel guilty of 11 counts of violating House ethics rules, and on December 2, the full House approved a sanction of censure against.
To date, NOTHING has been done about Clarence Thomas, though. NOTHING. That is the big zilch.
