Imagine if you will....

Imagine if you will….

The wife of a Supreme Court Justice is implicated in a seditious plan to overthrow a legal presidential election. This Justice then votes to keep documents of this seditious plan from Congress’s investigation.

Sorry, you are not in the Twilight Zone…this is Reality.

Of course, if Thomas were a Democrat, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

Oh.......I agree 100%. Repubs can get away with anything. Are the days of a 2 party system over? What is happening? I want to know......how come all repubs aren't being prosecuted?

take quick, decisive action on this. I don't know of any way to force Thomas to recuse himself. The only way that I know of to investigate or impeach Thomas is through Congress and there are not enough people in Congress with the integrity and belief in our system to follow through on that.

It's as if someone has thoroughly studied our constitution in detail in order to subvert it. The founders counted on the majority of people in branches of the government to be rational people of honor and integrity. A lot of our system relies on that. When it is lacking, the system weakens and gets pulled apart.

At this point, it would help to publicize this issue with Thomas and his wife everywhere. We can't count on the media to do that, but we could draw attention to the issue through large protest demonstrations. But are the American people too apathetic to get involved?

A society or government collapses from within when the people no longer believe in its founding principles.
