Common Cause: Justice Thomas Did Not Report Wife's Heritage Foundation Income

As if Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wasn't facing enough marital challenges, National Journal is reporting (based on a watchdog report) that he never claimed $686,589 in income from the Heritage Foundation that his wife earned between 2003 and 2007.

Common Cause says IRS records show Virginia Thomas received the money from the Heritage Foundation for her work there over that period. The group’s president, Bob Edgar, said in a statement that his group discovered the discrepancy while researching any potential conflicts of interest in the Citizens United vs. the Federal Election Commission Supreme Court decision, which opened the doors for unlimited campaign contributions by corporations.
