Democrats push for ethics investigation of Clarence Thomas
Forty-six House Democrats have joined forces this week to ask the chamber's Judiciary Committee to investigate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for ethics violations. The Democratic lawmakers' complaint argues that reports of Thomas' actions--including those related to the high-profile political activism of his wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas--have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
We already know by his own admission that he is guilty of at least one oversight in form filing, but the Democrats seem to be actually focusing on the more serious issue of his wife's right wing political activism.
