Supreme Court spouse Ginni Thomas has a new job  as the head of a Tea Party lobbying firm called ÂLiberty Consulting. Her new firm, which promises to give Âvoice to principled citizens and the tea party movement in the halls of Congress through governmental affairs efforts also offers a very unusual service to its clients:
Liberty Consulting offers advice for short or long term projects and bringing resources to bear for impact  whether it includes a short term bill-reading project, assistance on congressional oversight efforts or an effective coalition for impact. Additionally, Liberty Consulting offers advice on optimizing political investments for charitable giving in the non-profit world or political causes.
Ginni Thomas new career advising clients on how to donate money to political causes is striking in light of the fact that this career path was much more difficult to break into just one year ago. In Citizens United v. FEC, GinniÂs husband Clarence cast the key fifth vote enabling corporations to spend unlimited money influencing U.S. elections. As a result of this vote, outside groups spent nearly $300 million influencing the 2010 elections  much of which would have been illegal before Justice Thomas greenlighted this spending.
Now, Ginni Thomas appears to have found a way to earn money off her husbandÂs actions as a justice. Clarence Thomas released countless amounts of corporate spending on U.S. elections, and Ginni Thomas can get rich advising those corporate clients on how to direct that spending.
