‘The Court is in Crisis’: Clarence Thomas’ Reported Failure to Disclose Lavish Gifts From GOP Billionaire Donor Explodes on Twitter
www.mediaite.com... twitter/
The report delves into multiple instances over the years where the conservative justice and his wife, Ginni, were treated to lavish vacations, yacht cruises, and flights on a private jet, all on the dime of billionaire real estate developer Harlan Crow. ProPublica analyzed flight records, internal documents, and interviews with dozens of Crow’s employees to track his access to Thomas and the number of times the justice schmoozed with Crow and his friends while accepting princely trips to exclusive locations.

Our country is poisoned from within. Ethics be damned. And with his wife, Ginni, being a major GOP influencer with multiple organizations that funnel and accept money in GOP circles—and certified Q quack—Clarence Thomas should not be allowed anywhere near a judicial decision.

Ummmm
This is not new. Hell, there are stories from the early 2010's on all of them.
What you are seeing is a political witch hunt. They will try to remove Supreme Court Judges for things all of them are doing.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted secret luxury trips from Republican megadonor Harlan Crow for more than two decades in apparent violation of a financial disclosure law, a ProPublica report revealed Thursday.

But why now? Why now is it being taken seriously? And who else should be removed from their prestigious positions?

So much corruption. And why so long to discover it?

I've never cared for the man personally and was against his installation from the beginning. But that's besides the point.
"Harlan and Kathy Crow are among our dearest friends, and we have been friends for over twenty-five years," the justice, who has served on the bench for 32 years, said in a Friday statement.
"As friends do, we have joined them on a number of family trips during the more than quarter century we have known them. Early in my tenure at the Court, I sought guidance from my colleagues and others in the judiciary, and was advised that this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends, who did not have business before the Court, was not reportable," Thomas said.

Whoa, hold up there bro.
You're saying something bad about a conservative, there was something negative about GOP. You came to the wrong forum.
No one is going to like your post or agree with you. See, they're already defending him even though he's black.
