WASHINGTON — Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas got a lawyer for the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office to admit Tuesday it mounted a “fishing expedition” against a pro-life organization without receiving specific complaints about the group.
Thomas drilled down on the investigation of First Choice Women’s Resource Centers during oral arguments in a case challenging a subpoena the organization received from AG Matthew Platkin’s office.
“You had no basis to think that they were deceiving any of their contributors?” Thomas asked Chief Counsel Sundeep Iyer.
“We certainly had complaints about crisis pregnancy centers,” Iyer deflected before admitting none specifically applied to First Choice, a faith-based nonprofit with five facilities across the Garden State that discourages women from terminating their pregnancies.
“We had no complaints,” Iyer said. “But state governments, [the] federal government, initiate investigations all the time in the absence of complaints where they have a reason to suspect that there could be potential issues of legal compliance.”
“I think we had a more than ample basis to initiate this,” he added, citing concerns about misleading donors, unlicensed medical practices, violation of patient privacy, and “potentially misleading or untrue medical statements.”
“Well, that just seems a burdensome way to find out whether someone has a confusing website,” jabbed Thomas.....
“You don’t think it might have an effect on future potential donors to the organization to know that their name, phone number, address, etc, could be disclosed as a result of the subpoena?” Chief Justice John Roberts pressed Iyer at one point.

Biden’s deranged thinking in a nutshell: “another ‘pregnancy center’
(Planned Parenthood) is corrupt, so we need to investigate pro-lifers also.”
Thank God Junkie Jezebel lost the election, I don’t even want to think where we would be now with the border still open and all this insane corruption going on.
God bless Justice Thomas!
Biden almost succeeded in keeping him from becoming a Supreme Court justice, and thank God he failed!
During the hearings on Thomas, I was talking with a few black co-workers, and they said that yes, he was a traitor to his race, based solely on his political opinions.
One of those became very successful in later years. After I left the company in 2012 he was promoted to eastern regional AIS security manager for a large division of a major corporation.
An unfortunate name in this case.
>>Planned Parenthood) is corrupt, so we need to investigate pro-lifers also.”
Was it “also” or “instead”?
Its incredible a party that loves death and crime so much is so popular.
Hah.......nice catch.
Thank God Biden failed.......as he does at everything........natch!
