All this time I thought Scalia was telling Clarence how to vote.....turns out it appears to have been his wife.
Yeah, sure Virginia..you and Clarence have completely "separate professional lives." I bet you never discuss cases before the Supreme Court either...sure I believe that.
It would seem that Uncle Clarence is walking a very fine line.....not very professional is he? Could it be because he wasn't qualified for the job to begin with?

The new conservative advocacy group launched by Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has close ties to Washington's powerful conservative legal community.
As the Los Angeles Times reported over the weekend, Virginia Thomas recently created Liberty Central, a new lobbying group that seeks to tap into the grassroots energy unleashed by the Tea Party movement.

During the 1990s, Virginia Thomas served as a top aide to Majority Leader Dick Armey. In that role, she helped quarterback the aggressive GOP effort to use congressional investigations to stymie the Clinton administration, and in 1996 prepared an "assault book," listing a slew of Clinton administration "scandals" for GOP House members to capitalize on in the upcoming election. And as the LA Times notes, while at the conservative Heritage Foundation in 2000, she helped recruit staff for the incoming Bush administration, even as Clarence Thomas was hearing Bush v. Gore, in which he ultimately ruled in Bush's favor. At the time, Virginia Thomas denied that a conflict of interest existed, saying "we have our separate professional lives."
