Cirt, with your penchant for avoiding short paragraphs, there is no other way to accurate subsection titles, "early legal work" doesn't even apply - she wasn't a lawyer part of the time, "return to government service" doesn't apply either

Virginia "Ginni" Lamp Thomas (born February 23, 1957) is a Washington, D.C. based attorney who is presently serving as a consultant to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and as the founder and president of the Tea party associated advocacy group, Liberty Central. She is the wife of U. S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas.

Early life and education

Thomas grew up in Omaha, Nebraska,[2] the youngest of four children born to Marjorie and Donald Lamp, a successful engineer.[3] Her parents were described by The Washington Post as "upper middle class Republican party insiders who stressed family and religion at home", and who wintered in Florida.[3] Thomas graduated from Westside High School in Omaha,[1] where she was a member of the student government, the debate club and the Republican club.[3] She received a B.A. in political science and business communication from Creighton University in 1979, then attended Creighton University School of Law, earning her J.D. from there in 1983.[3][4]

Career

Thomas did campaign work for Hal Daub who was running for Congress. When Daub was took office in 1981, Thomas moved to Washington D.C. to work in his office, working her way up from legislative aide to legislative director.[5][3][1]

From 1985 to 1989 she was employed as an attorney and labor relations specialist at the private, non-profit United States Chamber of Commerce,[3][6][7] attending congressional hearings where she lobbied on behalf of the interests of the business community.[3] Her advocacy included arguing against the passage of the Family and Medical Leave Act; legislation that requires larger employers to provide temporary unpaid leave to employees to care for a new child or during a serious personal or family illness.[8] In 1989, she became manager of employee relations at the Chamber of Commerce.[9]

In 1991, Thomas returned to government service, working in the legislative affairs office of U. S. Department of Labor,[10][11][12] where she argued against comparable-worth legislation that would have mandated equal pay for women and men in jobs deemed to be "comparable".[13][14] That year, her husband was nominated by President George H. W. Bush to fill the open position on the U. S. Supreme Court left by the retirement of Justice Thurgood Marshall.[15] She attended the contentious Senate confirmation hearings [16] and stood by her husband's side as he was narrowly confirmed by a majority vote of 52 to 48.[17] She later called the televised scrutiny and confirmation process a "trial by fire" for her husband.[18][19]

During her husband's Supreme Court confirmation hearings, several Democratic senators claimed that her job at the time might create a conflict of interest for her husband if he was seated on the Supreme Court.[20] The issue again arose in 1994 while Thomas was working for Representative Dick Armey, who was then the Republican House Conference Chairman,[21][22] and again in 2000, while she was working for the Heritage Foundation, collecting résumés for potential presidential appointments in the George W. Bush Administration.[23][24] She worked as a policy analyst for U. S. Congressman Dick Armey, and later at the Heritage Foundation where she served as a White House liaison during the administration of President George W. Bush.[25][26] She serves on the Alumni Advisory Board of her alma mater, Creighton University School of Law.[4]

Liberty Central

Main article: Liberty Central

In late 2009, Thomas started a nonprofit tea-party affiliated lobbying group, Liberty Central, to organize conservative activists, issue score cards for Congress members, and be involved in elections.[27] The group is aimed at opposing what Thomas has called the leftist "tyranny" of President Obama and Congressional Democrats and “protecting the core founding principles” of the nation.[28] Thomas was interviewed by Sean Hannity on his Fox News show in June 2010. When asked about potential conflicts between her Liberty Central activities and her husband's position, Thomas replied "there's a lot of judicial wives and husbands out there causing trouble. I'm just one of many."[29]

Critic of Lifespring

Thomas took training with the controversial self awareness program Lifespring while working as a congressional aide in the 1980s.[1] She left the group in 1985, joined the Cult Awareness Network, and sought counseling.[3][30] She ultimately had to hide in another part of the country to avoid a constant barrage of phone calls from Lifespring members, urging her to remain in the organization.[3][31][32] Thomas came to believe that Lifespring was a cult and became an anti-cult advocate speaking on panels and organizing anti-cult workshops for congressional staffers in 1986 and 1988.[3] In a 1991 interview, Thomas remarked, "I was once in a group that used mind control techniques" and called its members "pretty scary people."[33]

Personal life

Virginia and Clarence Thomas married in 1987.[25] They live in Virginia.[34]

Multiple news organizations reported that on October 9, 2010, Virginia Thomas left a voicemail message for Anita Hill, whose accusations of sexual harassment complicated her husband's Supreme Court confirmation hearing 19 years earlier.[35][36] In the voice mail, Thomas said that Hill should apologize to Thomas's husband. When the voicemail became public about 10 days later, Virginia Thomas described the message as an attempt at "reaching out". Hill responded that she would not be offering an apology, since she believed her testimony was truthful and accurate.[37]
