Is the Anthony Weiner topic being highlighted by the Corporate Media Propagandists (CMP) another "Whistleblower" example? Below is a copy of the letter he sent:
The
Honorable Justice Clarence Thomas
United States Supreme Court Building
1 First Street Northeast
Washington D.C., DC 20543
Dear Justice Thomas:
As an Associate Justice, you are entrusted with
the responsibility to exercise the highest degree of discretion and
impartiality when deciding a case. As Members of Congress, we were surprised by
recent revelations of your financial ties to leading organizations dedicated to
lobbying against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. We write today
to respectfully ask that you maintain the integrity of this court and recuse
yourself from any deliberations on the constitutionality of this act.
The appearance of a conflict of interest merits
recusal under federal law. From what we have already seen, the line between
your impartiality and you and your wife's financial stake in the overturn of
healthcare reform is blurred. Your spouse is advertising herself as a lobbyist
who has "experience and connections" and appeals to clients who want a
particular decision - they want to overturn health care reform. Moreover, your
failure to disclose Ginny Thomas's receipt of $686,589 from the Heritage
Foundation, a prominent opponent of healthcare reform, between 2003 and 2007
has raised great concern.
This is not the first case where your impartiality
was in question. As Common Cause points out, you "participated in secretive
political strategy sessions, perhaps while the case was pending, with corporate
leaders whose political aims were advanced by the <5-4> decision" on the
Citizens United case. Your spouse also received an undisclosed salary paid for
by undisclosed donors as CEO of Liberty Central, a 501(c)(4) organization that
stood to benefit from the decision and played an active role in the 2010
elections.
Given these facts, there is a strong conflict
between the Thomas household's financial gain through your spouse's activities
and your role as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. We
urge you to recuse yourself from this case. If the US Supreme Court's decision
is to be viewed as legitimate by the American people, this is the only correct
path.
We appreciate your thoughtful consideration of
this request.
Sincerely,
ANTHONY D. WEINER
As most people are not aware because the CMP have kept any negative news pertaining to Thomas (sorry, but I cannot give this person the dignity of the title his position commands) in view of the many illegal, unethical, immoral things he has done. Of course Weiner doesn't even mention Thomas failed to even report the nearly $Billion his wife brought in on legal documents that officials are to complete every year. Thomas "forgot" at least the last eight years! Nothing happened to Thomas for this unethical, if not illegal, act, but Weiner is having all H*ll come down on him for something he may not have even done. But that part is not in the interests of our CMP.
This is but another example of the CMP's efforts to hide information and/or actions of those holding key positions within our government and demonizing those who attempt to do the right thing. It is another example of the privately held media being controlled by those whose agenda is anti-democracy.
