Report on Thomas’ Travel Habits Politics Plain and Simple

There has been some frothing at the mouth here over Justice Thomas' imagined indiscretions, a true nothing-burger, but as anybody with an eye on the current climate would easily see, it is nothing more than political palaver.

From a report on Resist The Mainstream, also reported by Fox News:

The ProPublica report accuses Thomas of taking trips across the world on Crow’s yacht and private jet without disclosing them and Crow acknowledged extending “hospitality” to Thomas but insisted he never asked for it and that the two families have been friends for decades.

“This is just grasping at straws by the left that is desperate to tear down Justice Thomas because he now has a working originalist majority on the court,” said Roger Severino, vice president of domestic policy and The Joseph C. and Elizabeth A. Anderlik Fellow at The Heritage Foundation.

Further ...

Justices are not required to disclose invitations and travel that are considered “personal hospitality” and the Supreme Court is not subject to an ethics code. ...

The ProPublica report claimed that trips taken by Thomas “have no known precedent in the modern history of the U.S. Supreme Court,” which Severino flatly rejected.

“There is no ‘there’ there because the justices have received gifts of hospitality from friends forever,” Severino said. “And many of the justices have taken far more trips than Justice Thomas on somebody else’s dime, including Justice Breyer, who we know has taken at least 233 trips when he was on the bench.”

So come back when you actually have something of merit. Like maybe a Congressional slush fund to pay off sexual harassment cases, or an elected public official who brags about committing crimes under color of office, or members of Congress involved in insider trading.

You know, actual crime and corruption...

Why are the reports coming on persons of color.
Or did they do this for all those serving on the court?

Anything the evil left can do to replace justices with communists they will do.

Hell, they tried to kill justices last year!

Since he was first nominated, the Democrats have tried to paint Justice Thomas as nothing more than an "uppity negro." That's how they view any black person who's not on welfare, popping out illegitimate babies, smoking crack and voting blue. Ain't supposed to get off the welfare reservation!



But the retarded progressives - true hypocritical racists that they are - keep pushing the narrative.

Go figure!

Exactly. Democrats and progressives got no use for them educated "uppity negros."

On the other hand, a person who has worked hard, educated him- or herself, been successful in their field of endeavor by their own merit and proven worth it's generally respected by conservatives, regardless of race or skin color.

No, only the conservatives.

No one wants to expose the liberal "justices"
and chief Roberts.

See, a man like this is respected in conservative circles, regardless of his race, but progressives (Democrats) will paint him as an Uncle Tom, or the aforementioned uppity negro, even if they don't use that verbiage.



But this fellow ... This is a hero of the left!



There you have it! (I can't understand how Adm. Willard didn't just mockingly laugh at the idiot)

And you don't find that concerning?

Regardless, the recent revelation about Thomas' trips are just the latest in a history of questionable behavior, to put it nicely. We could point to the years he reported that Ginni didn't have any income, even though she was making very good money at the time.

Or how about the fact that Ginni created the first PAC using $500,000 from Crow shortly before the Citizens United decision was announced? I guess those two just got real lucky that the Citizens United decisions made PACs legal.

Or how about the fact that Thomas lied about Crow not having any business before the SCOTUS? Crow sits on the board of AEI which has filed numerous amicus briefs to the SCOTUS, including one last year that was cited in a SCOTUS decision?

Not surprising you have issues with the person of color in a position of power.
And his heterosexual wife as well.
BAMN will BAMN.

Remember the sword cuts both ways. Are you naive enough to believe that the liberal judges can pass the same standards you want applied to Thomas? We are only just hearing about Thomas what, decades after it started. Pretty likely the members on the left can be accused of similar "issues", just no one has spoken out about it.

Why point out that his wife is heterosexual?
If she was a he would your tune be different?

You don't actually have to answer that.
I already know your answer.

You are responsible for your own posts.....those who ignore that responsibility will face mod actions.


and, as always:

Do NOT reply to this post!!

Except this stuff about Thomas is not new. Questions about Ginni's PAC have existed since the Citizens United decision was made in 2010. And the stuff about not disclosing Ginni's income was discovered in 2011.

You can claim that all of the judges have skeletons in their closets, and yet only one judge is consistently, and rightfully, being called out for impropriety.

Are you just as concerned about justice Robert's wife
and all of the millions she has made with her work
and court related associations?

Why is this report just on Thomas?
Why else was his wife brought up?
You have issues with people of color in positions of power as well?
You have issues with his heterosexual marriage?
