This, from a man who hasn’t uttered a word in 5 years during oral arguments on the Supreme Court.
“Virginia Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has given up control of her Teabagger group, Liberty Central (who apparently, based on that name, want liberty to be centralized, not dispersed among the people). Virginia Thomas is stepping down to get away from the “distractions” of her now being a public figure who likes to call around to people her husband has sexually harassed, asking for apologies. But she is still going to be part of the group, in the “back seat.” So if you were worried she might actually end the conflict of interest of a Supreme Court justice’s wife raising anonymous contributions with a group that stark positions on constitutional issues, you can rest easy. She’ll still be part of that group.
“She’ll take a back seat so that Liberty Central can continue with its mission without any of the distractions,” Carroll said. “After discussing it with the board, Mrs. Thomas determined that it was best for the organization.”
“
If you get a call in the middle of the night and there is silence on the other end, that is not Virginia Thomas. That is Clarence Thomas.

“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.”
“I adore all the new citizen patriots who are rising up across this country,” “I have felt called to the front lines with you, with my fellow citizens, to preserve what made America great.”
