Justice's Wife Launches 'Tea Party' Group


As Virginia Thomas tells it in her soft-spoken, Midwestern cadence, the story of her involvement in the "tea party" movement is the tale of an average citizen in action.


"I am an ordinary citizen from Omaha, Neb., who just may have the chance to preserve liberty along with you and other people like you," she said at a recent panel discussion with tea party leaders in Washington. Thomas went on to count herself among those energized into action by President Obama's "hard-left agenda."


But Thomas is no ordinary activist.She is the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and she has launched a tea-party-linked group that could test the traditional notions of political impartiality for the court.


In January, Virginia Thomas created Liberty Central Inc, a nonprofit lobbying group whose website will organize activism around a set of conservative "core principles," she said.

So I'm drawn to the tea party's message of low taxes but cut the "Obama far-left" BS. It's funny because alot of his policies are the same as the last administration's, which pisses off the "far left".

You don't think Obama is far left ? After all he was voted most liberal Senator ! And I'm not even getting into the whole socialist/Communism thing .

How can that be? Don't you remember "Change we can believe in"? Well, keep believing because I don't think you're ever going to see any.

It amazes me that a Justice votes on something and now it appears that he "may" have voted the way he did so that his wife could pursue this role.
Conflict of interest anyone?
