Clarence Thomas' dangerous conceit - Los Angeles Times:
"...In January, Common Cause released documents showing that Thomas had attended events funded by conservative billionaires David and Charles Koch. Thomas was even featured in Koch promotional material — along with Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and others — for events that sought financial and political support for conservative political causes.
Worse yet, Common Cause discovered that Thomas had failed to disclose a source of income for 13 years on required federal forms. Thomas stated that his wife, Virginia, had no income, when in truth she had hundreds of thousands of dollars of income from conservative organizations, including roughly $700,000 from the Heritage Foundation between 2003 and 2007. Thomas reported 'none' in answering specific questions about 'spousal non-investment income' on annual forms — answers expressly made 'subject to civil and criminal sanctions...'"
One presumes that the Supreme Court is another institution that is too big to fail.
