Progressive liberal Democrats. The party of the minorities, the “poor”, the oppressed. Last I checked Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was an African-American who although he is conservative, progressives should be for him right?

This is old news...

Or did someone do it again?

These 74 Members of Congress should call on Justice Thomas to be impeached.

74 Members of Congress penned a letter to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas asking him to recuse himself should the high court take up the constitutionality of Obamacare. Justice Thomas’s wife – Ginni – recently started a new lobbying firm called Liberty Consulting with the purpose of bringing, “voice to principled citizens and the tea party movement in the halls of Congress through governmental affairs efforts.” Considering she will likely be paid by organizations to convince Members of Congress to repeal the healthcare law – there will certainly be a considerable incentive for Justice Clarence Thomas to rule against the law should it come to the Supreme Court.

The bias here couldn’t be any more obvious. And the federal recusal statute – the law by which judges are supposed to operate by clearly states – “Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned…” For example if, “He or his spouse… is known by the judge to have an interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding.” Of course – this statute didn’t prevent Justice Thomas from ruling on the Bush v. Gore decision back in 2000 – that handed George W. Bush the presidency – even though his wife worked for the Bush transition team. And it didn’t prevent Thomas from hearing the Citizens United Case last year even though he often takes part in political strategy session organized by the billionaires Koch brothers who directly benefited from the Supreme Court’s ruling in that case. We are seeing flat out corruption in the highest court in the land.

The Constitution of the United States gives Congress the power to oversee the duties of the Supreme Court – and if 74 Members of Congress ask Thomas to step down – then he should. Better yet – these 74 Members of Congress should call on Justice Thomas to be impeached.

Thomas appears to be Scalia's poodle. Basically, his role on the Court has been to say, "what he said". Add to that his criminal non-disclosure of his wife's financial ties with the Republican party. Failure to recuse is standard procedure among conservative SC justices. Scalia's duck hunting trip with Dick Cheney just 3 weeks after ruling that the White House didn't have to disclose its actions on the public's behalf with the energy task force. At the very least, the appearance of impropriety. Now we have Roberts and Alito giving key-note speeches at conservative fund-raising events. Is this a good way to promote the appearance of non-partisanship?

That is all well and good, but you didn't mention anything relevant about this particular thread.

You condone your progressive comrades in calling for a sitting black member of the SC to be sent back to the fields, tortured or lynched simply because they don't like the fact that he is a conservative?

These are the types of people that were influenced, during the early 20th century, into believing that sterilization of undesirables and setting up abortion mills in minority neighborhoods were acceptable.

The progressive movement in America has one of the most vile and despicable histories of any social or political movement in our history.

This recent display of outright ignorance and sheer stupidity by the useful idiots of the modern progressive movement shows that the ideals of Margaret Sanger, Woodrow Wilson, George Bernard Shaw, HG Wells, and the rest of the National Socialist German Workers Party "We love Eugenics" cheerleading squad.. lives on..

OK. Here's something that's pretty contemporary. Once again, I'll reprint an essay by my favorite talk-show host. I have nothing to add to the opinion and Thom says it better than I ever could. (This is definitely a LIBERAL source). - Louise Hartmann (Thom's wife})

How many--- 74... Out of how many representatives in congress...

I dont buy this vid at all . People who watch alot of fox news are real easy to fool. Would anyone be suprised if the republicans sent some plants into the crowd to do a fake interview? Boths sides do this. It has been proven that some parties send people to teabag rallies to appear moronic and shed a bad light on the movement. Every thinking person knowes the dems are the party of all people regardless of race. We all know for the most part the republicans are for old white folks just like your granpas oldsmobile.
