The tea partiers rallied...

...in Washington yesterday (again) and Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and founder of LibertyCentral.org, was in attendance:

"November 2 will be a storm in Washington," [Thomas] said. "Our opposition is trying to insult you, trying to intimidate you, trying to infiltrate you. But it’s not working. The second Reagan revolution is growing."

And from a recent piece in Politico:

Virginia “Ginni” Thomas has returned to partisan politics as a fully engaged opponent of President Barack Obama, whom she has described as “hard left” and steering the nation “for tyranny.” As founder and president of a think tank and advocacy group called Liberty Central, she quickly established herself in the tea party movement by drawing on her longstanding ties to Washington’s conservative establishment and by landing two big donations — one for $500,000 and another for $50,000 —that put her group on the map.

And my question is, Is it appropriate for the wife of a Supreme Court Justice to be involved in partisan politics, and in such a high-profile way?
