Both Thomas' and the Geithner need resolution.

That's as may be, but they are not the same issue. The IRS has nothing to do with ethics (in more ways than one).

I give you .1/10 for the troll post.

Liberals don't care that he's Black. It's a non-issue.

What's at issue is either:

A. He's a moron who can't fill out a form correctly. Multiple times. Involving reporting hundreds of thousands of dollars. Since he's a Supreme court justice, I don't think he's a moron.
B. He thought he could mark it incorrectly and get away with it. Somehow. It's a public form. Beats me.

He judges the laws for you and me. I see it as a case of "Do as I say, not as I do."

I'm sure it will be explained away. I believe he said he misunderstood. This man dissects the law for a living and "misunderstood."

Sure. Sure he did. And I've got a bridge I want to sell you. In Brooklyn.

LOL! "Non-investment income" is such a complex question, I can totally see how he could "misunderstand" it, mark the box NONE and not list his wife's "Non-investment" income, even though he clearly understood what "Non-investment income" was when reporting his own income. Yeah, I can buy that excuse! Slap him on the wrist and move on. He's black, after all. Apparently that has something to do with it. I guess.

Not sure J. Edgar Hoover had much to do with ethics either, but he sure was a check on every president during his tenure.
