Shouldn't Ginny and Clarence Thomas be investigated for tax evasion?
Clarence Thomas said she had no income for several years, when in fact she did. Not only should he recuse himself from cases involving causes his wife was paid to advocate on behalf of, he should be impeached for lying about it his wife's income.

And, if she didn't report her income to the IRS, she should be going to prison. And, if it was a joint tax return they filed, they both should be going to prison.

13. Isn't that a shame? A personal affair gets an investigation,
meanwhile the fucking crooks, liars,and people who are responsible for harming hundreds of thousands and killing countless others are A-OK.

More than anything that has happened for the last 12 years this really hits it all home. I am astounded.

2. Or how about war crimes.
It is a farce.

4. They should be deported. All political figures with ethical problems should be deported.
A fuckload more Republicans than Democrats would be on the next boat out.

6. Obviously, the law does not apply to a lying, tax evading Supreme Court Judge
And the people who could apply the law to Clarence Thomas are afraid to do so, just like they were afraid to hold him responsible for his actions BEFORE he came to sit on the ol' Bench and just like they are afraid to indict the war criminals in the Bush Cabal.

Go figure:

:shrug:

8. No investigation is necessary...
...we already know that he checked "No income" for his wife for the last 20 years, until he was called on it and had to retroactively file truthful returns.

What we need to do is impeach the bastard for fraudulent reporting of his income and for blatant conflicts of interest.

Nancy Pelosi, are you listening?

Everyone seems to be sweeping it under the rug.

16. How Do You Report Suspected Tax Fraud Activity?
http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=106778,00.html

If you suspect or know of an individual or company that is not complying with the tax laws, you may report this activity by completing Form 3949-A. You may fill out Form 3949-A online, print it and mail it to:

Internal Revenue Service
Fresno, CA 93888

If you do not wish to use Form 3949-A, you may send a letter to the address above. Please include the following information, if available:

* Name and address of the person you are reporting
* The taxpayer identification number (social security number for an individual or employer identification number for a business)
* A brief description of the alleged violation, including how you became aware of or obtained the information
* The years involved
* The estimated dollar amount of any unreported income
* Your name, address and daytime telephone number
Although you are not required to identify yourself, it is helpful to do so. Your identity can be kept confidential.

22. Of course they should be tried for income tax evasion. If they were
liberals you had better believe that the Republicans would be calling for it.

23. Do we know they didn't report it on their tax return?
The form being discussed is a disclosure form required for public officials, not an income tax return. It would seem that Ms. Thomas's employer would have reported her income to the IRS, so it would be tough to leave it off their returns.

24. Clarence Thomas should be impeached
for being part of a judicial influence-peddling scheme with his bagger wife. That man should not be serving as a night-court judge in Mattoon, Illinois, much less on the SCOTUS.
