Oh, and While We're At It...

Impeach Justice Thomas, too. Apparently he's been hiding his wife's income from her work with a conservative political group on his financial disclosure forms. Once again, it's not just the fact that it's probably illegal. It's the politicking. And specifically, the politicking and then working quite hard to hide the politicking. Exactly the opposite of what we should want in a Justice.

There's nothing like an originalist for polluting the integrity of the Court. After all, a highly politicized Court with improper intrusions between itself and the political process was the state that prevailed for the first few decades of our nation. I thought it was a good thing when we figured out how to have a nice non-ideological Court, the way we were supposed to, but if it was good enough for the 1790s...
