Justice Thomas' real estate deal with GOP megadonor Harlan Crow sparks new ethic concerns

"The other key point - and I truly, truly cannot emphasize this enough - is that Clarence Thomas' whole job is to use his judgment to make judgment calls while judging. He sits on the highest court in the land where he judges others and he makes rulings on the best thing to do is when the text or the law is ambiguous, unclear, or even absent," says Chris Hayes.

@paradoxmo Жыл бұрын

No, you’ve got the two issues confused. There were 2 vacant lots that the Thomas family owned that were part of the sale. (He since sold them on to other developers). In addition to that, Crow ALSO bought the noisy neighbors’ house and tore it down, presumably for the benefit of Thomas’s mother.

@@reason6835 - Sometimes "the law" says that conservative activists are wrong, and when those conservative activists are regularly making 500 thousand dollar gifts to more than one of the judges, suddenly "the law" isn't so important. They'll find a reason to rule in favor of their "friends."

@@reason6835 Because it is not only to rule in favor off conservatives, but to rule in favor of Crows business interests over others. Crow has had multiple cases before scotus, were he has had financial interests in them and every time Thomas ruled in favor of him. If I were republican, I would be asking the question, when did Clarence Thomas rule against my financial interests because they opposed Crows interests? So it isn't even about conservatives and leftist, but Crows buddies and others.

Yes, but there is a Massive difference in that Fortus did not break a law he just had an association. There is a very distinct difference in this case as CT has had a much more conjoined relationship with Crow 20 times greater than Fortus. The law states any sale by any justice over $1000.00 for any real estate nor personally yours "must" be reported.

He probably committed tax fraud as well since he didn't pay taxes on monetary equivilent gifts. If you win $10 in the lottery, that's income. If you win or gifted a vacation in a game show, you pay the taxes. Did Thomas report the income sale of property in his taxes? Did he reports the upgrades as income/benefits gifts? Let the IRS meddle in his taxes since he should be an example of law not a breaker. Does he know the words integrity, honor, or scrouples???

When you have a lifetime appointment and cannot be removed unless you actually murder somebody, the accountability factor doesn't exist. The founding fathers should've thought about that before writing this lifetime job into the Constitution. Thomas might as well just come right out and say, "You can't remove me, so just go away!"

in the time the constitution was made people lived until their 60s, makes sense that lifetime kinda meant no more than 20 years, though imo supreme court has always been a broken system that pretty much creates people that just interpret the constitution the way they want, its almost like high priests interpreting a very old doc (bible)
