So, the Democrats claim that the Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas (who just happens to be black) needs to recuse himself (that's fancy judge-talk for "excuse" or "remove") from the case on Obamacare because his wife received money from a group she works for that supports the repeal of Obamacare http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/05/30/groups-target-thomas-wife-seek-ouster-high-court-rulings/.
If Thomas is recused, then the case will be heard in a 4/4 split court leaving appelate rulings intact and the supreme court (which is currently conservative) will not get to hear it again.
Anyways, I think all this is a racist attack on Thomas because he's black. They don't want a black man with a white wife who went to college voting on this stuff. That is the ONLY thing this is all about. Nothing else. Just a buncha racists (See? I can do it too!).
