Wife of Justice Thomas Forms Tea Party-linked Lobbying Firm 
------------------------------------------------------------



The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has started a lobbying
firm in an effort to become the "ambassador to the Tea Party movement."
Virginia Thomas has promised to use her "experience and connections" to
help clients of her new firm Liberty Consulting raise money and increase

of ethical questions for Justice Thomas.
