Dems: Thomas should recuse himself
By JENNIFER HABERKORN | 2/9/11 11:27 AM EST

Seventy-four House Democrats are asking Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from any health care reform cases, citing reports that his wife financially benefited from efforts to repeal the legislation.

The members, led by Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), ask that he “maintain the integrity of this court.”

**SNIP**

The move comes after Republicans have floated similar concerns about the impartiality of Justice Elena Kagan, who was solicitor general during the health debate.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg once wrote a paper advocating for the age of consent be lowered to 11 years old for sex between and minor and an adult.

Justice Thomas should remind Senate Democrats of separation of powers, tell them to go pound sand and if they don’t like his attitude then they should initiate impeachment proceedings for all to see.

Weiner is such a racist. Diversity trumps qualifications at all times in liberal dogma. How come he has jumped the liberal religion law?

“They” see it coming. They know this lousy piece of legislation is going to go down flaming. And they are throwing everything at it in the vain hope that something, ANYTHING, may stick.

Forget it, Lefties, Obamacare is dead. One way or the other.

“his wife financially benefited from efforts to repeal the legislation”

Everyone will benefit financially from repeal of the heath care law. So if that’s their yardstick, they all have to recuse themselves and we can just stick with the lower court ruling. :D

Then shouldn’t Ginsburg recuse herself from the AZ employer sanctions and SB1070 cases, since the ACLU sued AZ, and she was lead counsel for the ACLU? Of course not. Neither should Thomas. But Kagan’s case is different...she was U.S. SOLICITOR GENERAL and ARGUED these cases OFFICIALLY.

Well she is not so special, because we ALL will benefit from efforts to repeal it, not just the judge’s wife.

From your post: The Dems are, and have been trying to stir up dissent against Justice Thomas as they think he is vulnerable.

I expect the MSM will be all over this, calling those who are picking on him “racists” any minute now (sadly, /s).

Ruth Bader Ginsberg needs to recuse herself from any cases involving the ACLU, the organization she was previously high up in. Has she?

If not, then critics of Judge Thomas can STFU.

Seventy-four traitorous rats need to be barred from congress. Give them a choice they so love: leave America or be hanged.
