Judges, prosecuting attornies, elected officials, should all know better. They should live within their means, should not be taking bribes, as this is what this is at that dollar amount. Maybe their wasn't an immediate trade but surely it would be asked at some point, directly or indirectly.
Sad to see Thomas succumbed to the tempation. Maybe he keeps his seat on the court, but he is forever tainted in my book.
He sought to comply. So shove it.
Even if he did do something wrong who cares except the rats? They’re rats for a reason. They’ll run with it anyway.
I’d rub their noses in it. Think-2 bombs for Pearl Harbor. Payback’s a bitch.
Thomas has a rich friend. Clintons had Epstein and Weinstein.
They are after us all. Trump is right.
“Thomas did NOTHING wrong.”
Right and wrong has no place in the discussion.
Either there is a majority in the House, and 67 votes in the Senate to Impeach him, or there is not.
This comes down to a simple question - is Clarence Thomas allowed to have a rich friend?
It’s not like he was going to Epstein Island like Roberts did.
Why is this coming out now, hmmm?
They are just attacking a black man who left the reservation.
People need to open their eyes. The left is going through this country like a steam roller and the SC is one of the final nails in our coffin.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was flying all over the country getting paid by liberals to give speeches.
The left can stuff it
It is easy to work out whether you should feel outraged by this.
If it was the Wise Latina who was getting free trips would you think that’s OK, nothing to see here, or would you think there was something wrong.
Its foolish and irresponsible for Thomas (and Trump for that matter ) to ignore this reality.
Yes its unfair, but the left has the media, popular culture, and even the Federal Government at its disposal to launch a coordinated assault at a moment's notice.
This is the beginning of the purge. Now I can see why the Republicans have not stood up and defended Trump, the Jan 6 prisoners etc.....and why they are doing nothing. My guess is they all have baggage like what we are seeing here.
The prosecution of Trump and now Thomas will shut them up even more.
Of course the dems do this stuff too.... but they own the DOJ now.
And... the 87,000 IRS agents are for the rest of us unelected Conservatives. That was not an accident that they passed that and let us know about it. It will create fear.
Tyranny. They are not going to let themselves be unelected.
It has gone too far. I see no way out.
I distinctly remember Ginsberg performing gay weddings prior to the Obergefell decision. How many of these justices took speaking gigs where they made thousands of dollars? How many law schools only hire leftists and pay them outrageous salaries? This does not seem to have any bearing on whether someone can be a judge.... What about the Bar Associations who in many states are the organizations which select people for federal judicial positions anyways? They are made up of mostly leftists Doesn’t this violate impartiality? Did we ever find out which justice or their staff that released the Dobbs decision? Isn’t that an ethic violation?
And how did this get found out anyways? And how did it effect his decisions? How does it show some impartiality?
FYI- THIS DOES NOT VIOLATE THE RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT FOR JUDGES. https://www.uscourts.gov/judges-judgeships/code-conduct-united-states-judges#:~:text=%281%29%20A%20judge%20should%20be%20faithful%20to%2C%20and,maintain%20order%20and%20decorum%20in%20all%20judicial%20proceedings.
I want to see a report on ALL the other Justice’s travels, friends, etc. This is RACISM...
Every member of Congress, the Cabinet and the Executive Branch has wealthy friends they socialize with.
Clinton and the obamas especially used to ( still) virtually couch surf between homes of the mega wealthy.
Whose house is hosting the scurvy Bidens this weekend?
High crimes and misdemeanors?
Impeach him in a Republican-controlled House of Representatives?
Convict him by 2/3 majority in the U.S. Senate?
Remove him and give Biden a vacant seat to appoint?
Absolute nonsense !!!
No, never has Thomas come down on the wrong side of the Constitution, but, I am Shocked he was told political donor trips do not have to surface, on his expenditures
That he believed it is more shocking!
He knows very well the crucifixation he suffered at enemy hands, over Anita Hill, just to be confirmed!
Thomas knows very well conservatives are targeted with “ANY appearance of impropriety”, that can be massaged as political associations and will never fail to stalk a good man and God fearing US Justice on the SC.
