Martha Stewart went to jail for this...

...but how much you wanna bet Clarence Thomas WON'T?

"Evidence is mounting that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas violated federal law by failing to report his wife's annual salary of more than $120,000 per year from conservative political organizations by checking "NONE" on the box for "Non-Investment Income" for his wife Virginia on judicial Financial Disclosure Reports for the last 20 years."



Under Title 18 of US Code, Section 1001, it is a crime to:

1. knowingly and willfully;
2. make any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation;
3. in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative or judicial branch of the United States.

This is what Martha Stewart was jailed for. Lying to the Feds is a felony, and carries with it a possible fine, as well as 5-8 years in the slammer.

So now, we see whether or not the Supreme Court Justices are subject to the law. Equal treatment under the law, or special treatment under the law - what's it gonna be, Mr. Holder?
