Impeach Justice Clarence Thomas For Ruling In Favor Of His Own Campaign Contributors
   

Could it possibly get any worse? It just recently came to light that
so-called "Citizens United", nothing more than a corporate sponsored
astroturf lobbying organization, the very same group he ruled in
favor of to decimate our campaign finance laws last year, was the
driving force in paying for and running ads to promote the
confirmation of Thomas himself to the Supreme Court.

Campaign contributions?

For an appointed position?

Confirmed through a democrat majority held senate?

19 years ago?

I thought Supreme Court Judges were appointed for life.  Why would Justice Thomas be campaigning for anything?  :banghead:

And the DUmmies don't even point that out.  All they say is "K & R."   Public school education at its finest.

They've been masturbating over this for weeks.  Nothing to see here.

The logic they use in this is akin to claiming that no State reps that belong to either party should ever be allowed to vote on reapportionment.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

But this is important! If they can start a really powerful internet petition, and force them to throw Thomas off the court, then Kerry gets the seat, right?

Depends on who he faces in the special election. I think Al Franken would win.  :thatsright:
