WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

By law, Supreme  Court Justice Clarence Thomas is require to report his wife's income, something he neglected to do for years.   Brad Friedman has been asking why there isn't an outrage about this and I am also surprised.  I don't like to frame these issues with an "imagine if it were a liberal" but you can just imagine:

"If it were Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg not reporting a million dollars from working for ACORN, the right wing would be all over it and so would the press -- until someone from the Department of Justice agreed to prosecute. The right wing, and eventually the media, would say that Ginsburg should have known the rule of law; they'd be all over her for receiving 'special treatment,' and she'd be gone in a week."

I used LexisNexis to search for "Clarence Thomas" and "disclosure" over the last month and omitting letters to the editor, this is all I found:
