Several Republican members of Congress are calling on Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate possible "threats" against conservative Supreme Court justices, claiming the advocacy group Common Cause is providing a platform for inflammatory rhetoric.

The congressmen, in a draft letter to Holder that has not yet been sent, allege that rallies held by the organization appear to "incite violence and encourage racial slurs," with Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Virginia being the targets.

The letter cited a newspaper report on a Common Cause rally at which protesters were quoted, in reference to Thomas, saying they should "string him up" and put him "back in the fields." Thomas is black.

Hmmm I wouldn't hold your breath on this folks. I do not think he is going to investigate any one who is not "his people"

HI5, cavegal, for your comment about the justices NOT being Holder's "people", although I kinda think Holder's homies is more catchy, don't you? :lmao:
This SOB is the worst AG our country has ever had.  Not a good time to be white in his justice system. :bird:
