Justice Thomas' Wife Launches 'Tea Party' Group

The LA Times reports Justice's wife launches 'tea party' group.

"'I am an ordinary citizen from Omaha, Neb., who just may have the chance to preserve liberty along with you and other people like you,' she said at a recent panel discussion with tea party leaders in Washington. Thomas went on to count herself among those energized into action by President Obama's 'hard-left agenda.' But Thomas is no ordinary activist. She is the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and she has launched a tea-party-linked group that could test the traditional notions of political impartiality for the court."

I'm not particularly bothered by this. It's not like we didn't know Thomas was conservative. This strikes a cord though: "She is intrigued by Glenn Beck and listening carefully," the bio says. That to me just says she's dumb. This is a man who just listened to the lyrics of Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A. and thinks it's anti-American.
