Legal Schnauzer: Disbarment complaint filed against Supreme Clarence Thomas

In a bar complaint filed with the Missouri Supreme Court, Protect Our Elections (POE) attorney Kevin Zeese says Supreme Clarence Thomas committed multiple violations of the Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct. (See full complaint below.) Zeese asks the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel to take immediate action against Thomas, including disbarment.

Thomas became a member of the Missouri Bar in 1974 . . .

 The Legal Schnauzer: Do you want to mess with me?

POE makes a compelling argument that Clarence Thomas has no business sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court:

A lawyer who commits a crime is subject to disbarment. A lawyer who fails to disclose important financial information as require by law is subject to disbarment. A lawyer who makes rulings on cases that will benefit himself and his wife is subject to disbarment. A Judge who commits 20 crimes by falsifying 20 disclosure forms in order to enrich himself and his family, as did Justice Thomas, is subject to disbarment. A lawyer who withholds information about a supporter when ruling on a case involving that support is subject to disbarment.

Justice Thomas violated the Rules of Professional Conduct: he committed crimes that carry serious jail time if prosecuted, he acted in a untrustworthy manner, his conduct involved dishonesty, deceit and misrepresentation, and he engaged in conduct that seriously interfered with the administration of justice. Therefore, he must be disciplined.
If Thomas were to lose his law license, it would set the stage for formal impeachment proceedings. It is unlikely the Republican controlled house would impeach Thomas.

Likewise, the Justice Department could charges against Thomas. If he was convicted of a a felony,  it would be hard for him to remain on the Supreme Court.

Regardless, Democrats should be calling for this worthless justice to resign. Thomas has not asked a question during oral argument during the last five years.

Our hats off the the Legal Schnauzer. We like this breed of dog.
