Judge Clarence Thomas' wife: We love sleeping in Wal-Mart parking lots

He may not say much when he's on the bench, but on the road Justice Clarence Thomas handles the grilling.

Justice Thomas and his wife's love for life on the open road is well known, but in the interview, Ginni discusses what it is about traveling in an RV that is so appealing. For one thing, Ginni Thomas said, you get a chance to sleep in a Wal-Mart parking lot.

"We have been in dozens of Wal-Mart parking lots across the country. It's one of our favorite things to do. You can get a little shopping in, see part of real America. It's fun,” Thomas said.

Walmart used to advertise made in America.

Note: Most full time logistics postions for Walmart are in India.

Walmart does not chase anybody out of the parking lot. Truckers who no longer have enough money for hotel rooms park their rigs in the parking lot overnight.
