Clarence Thomas was called out on Twitter Friday afternoon for releasing financial-disclosure documents at the last minute. Right before Memorial Day weekend.

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) was awaiting Justice Thomas' disclosures at 4:30 p.m. He tweets: "Pretty crazy that the Scotus does a pre-memorial day friday dumping of its financial forms."

The forms disclosed information about Thomas' role on the board of the Horatio Alger Association and that he made $10,000 for a speech at the University of Minnesota. But it was his wife's role with Liberty Central and Liberty Consulting that was driving Weiner's all-day tweetathon. Because of a potential conflict of interest, Weiner thinks that Thomas should recuse himself from all rulings on the health care reform law.

"We knew that Justice Thomas's family had a financial stake in opposing health care reform. Now we know even more," Weiner said. "It's pretty clear the Justice has one option here: recusal."
