Reply #86: He had been publicly demanded that Clarence Thomas [View All]

[sabrina 1]

recuse himself from votes such as Citizens United, he was angry when he found out that Thomas had received tens of thousands of dollars from that group to help get him on the SC and therefore should never have cast a vote on that decision.

He was helping to get a bill before Congress to make it a law for SC Justices to recuse themselves when they had a conflict of interest and he was getting a lot of attention for his campaign against Thomas.

There were other issues with Thomas he was highlighting in Congress and in the media and it was getting hard for Thomas and his corporate backers (Thomas' wife was also involved in some questionable activities which have yet to be looked into) to ignore.

Weiner, and many of us, viewed Thomas as a threat to this democracy and many of his actions, such as the recently revealed lies he told on his tax returns for 20 years, make him unfit to be on the SC.

That was the reason they went after Weiner. A months long campaign against him was conducted by the far right. Andrew Breitbart views Clarence Thomas as a hero. They lucked out when Weiner accidentally pushed the wrong button and for a few seconds the photo appeared and the stalkers were there, glued to their computer screens, or at least one of them. It was the equivalent of having someone with their nose on your bedroom window 24/7, sooner or later they might see you doing something you would not normally do in public.

He was a great fighter for liberal causes, and he is a loss to us. Shame America can't grow up when it comes to adults and sex. Well, actually most of them don't care, it's the media mostly.
