You're so right. Thomas could be tried for tax fraud: failing to report substantial gifts from Crow as income. Besides being corrupt, Thomas is a tax fraud.

Absolutely Corrupt

Liberal SCOTUS Justice Sonia Sotomayor Took $3M From Book Publisher, Didn’t Recuse From Its Cases 🤔 Random House was her main source of earned income, but she voted on key decision where publisher stood to lose money. 🧐 Democrats not bothered.

I agree but nothing will be done about it....the only solution is to expand the court and again even if the Dems had the 3 branches and a filibuster proof Congress they still won't do it....don't get me wrong Republicans are THE worst however corruption runs deep in both parties...we would need a progressive prez and a progressive Congress for that to have a chance

THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE SAID FOR EVERY JUDGE IN THE WORLD EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAVE DONE THE SAME SOME WAY MORE SOME WAY LESS BUT EVERY ONE OF THEM YES AND EVEN THOSE DEMOCRATS LOL

@@lancefulbright2685 I disagree... Not all judges are corrupt. With that being said, any judge regardless of who appointed them that is corrupt should be removed from the bench. Blessings

No, but Clarence pays for a lot of corruption with the blood of his ancestors.

@@justtubing767 Youve summed it up perfectly.

It's a timeless 'peculiarity' of US Capitalism: the people with the most money/assets -- who can easily afford to support themselves -- get unending price breaks (or outright giveaways) from everyone to maintain commercial relationships with 'persons of means and/or influence' while those with the least money/assets -- who could most use the help -- must pay full price and get continually nickeled and dimed for every little thing.

This is also likely to embolden the worst sort of legal representatives to attempt to slide dreadful decisions through the present deeply compromised SCOTUS.

Spot on!!

yup, my thoughts as well.

Probably makes racist jokes about him after he drops off the plane.

Don't you think it's also a signal to Clarencec Thomas that the luxurious lifestyle and "friendship" is a perk of your job, otherwise you mean nothing to me thus this all goes away. It all means don't you dare think about resigning everyone at thus point knows your an own "man" the court is own and that's that.

I think more than anything else that makes Harlan Crow somewhat less dishonest than Clarence Thomas and a few of the other justices. Crow may be unethical, but he was at least unwilling to blatantly lie, and unlike several of the justices, he is not whoring himself out for a few extra dollars.

You're right about that, it never crossed my mind why that was..........now I have a clue.

Thomas has almost never written a judgment; he is too stupid.

This is an important post, thanks for it.

My first thought too.

Grand nephew. I imagine there might be a reason he had to be adopted… don’t know what the entire story of his family tree is, or their background. Could be a privileged family but an illegitimate child with a drvg abuser mother.. could be his parents died tragically.. don’t know. But the statement was referring to his circumstances prior to being adopted by Thomas

His aunt and uncle are lying and immoral POS's, perhaps.

Are you as mad at Biden and his family taking money from China and Ukraine? Or the Pelosi family having a near perfect stock record?

Absolutely… it’s sickening to watch and hear people dance around what’s going on by using choice words. It’s pure corruption 100%.

The job of the Trumpian controlled House to to cling with a death grip to their majority, and do all it can to protect any criminals in office whose loss would reduce their party's number. They will NEVER hold any of their own accountable nor impeach any of their own, and their allies in certain states are finalizing any last plans to "adjust" the outcome of the next election to insure they remain in power.

💯💯💯 and politicians

To include states as well.

The truth is more that the Court silenced the Constitution and set our democracy on a destructive course. As Justice Kagan wrote in the liberals’ dissent, the Court had “encouraged a politics of polarization and dysfunction.” The resulting “unchecked gerrymanders, she warned, “may irreparably damage our system of government.” By giving a free pass to partisan gerrymandering, the Supreme Court literally encouraged Republican lawmakers to grab and abuse as much power as they wanted. So they have. Partisan gerrymandering, means you can't get rid of those lawmakers because they don't need your votes anymore .

Yes. That said, any term limits they impose would possibly not be able to supersede the current situation.

And we should be able to vote for them not the Senate.

@@kathymaeve Yes. Our, "Chief," Justice has also been shielding against a code of ethics or even discussing this ridiculous misconduct.

well that's pretty racist to assume

If Trump were to be re-elected as President in 2020 will China’s ambitions be derailed; on the other hand, if any of the democrat candidates for president were to win, then China would not pay a price but would instead achieve even more power and dominance as a pliable and compromised democrat party would be in power. The American people failed to understand that the Chinese Communist Party and the democrat party had formed an unspoken de facto alliance to defeat Trump in 2020. The unrelenting drumbeat for unprecedented lockdowns to ostensibly achieve net-zero Covid-19 infections and the gross exaggeration of fatalities were among the primary weapons. For the first time in American history, a major political party was essentially in league with a hostile foreign power to defeat an incumbent president that posed a threat to their respective interests. Trump was well aware of this poisonous alliance and had often railed against the Communist Chinese. However, instead of relying on his nearly always infallible gut instincts that had propelled him to the presidency as well as worldwide fame and fortune, Trump, perhaps because it was an election year, foolishly acquiesced to this cabal’s Chinese Wuhan virus tactics. Further, and for the same reason, he hesitated to fire those around him who were not only incompetent but in league with the democrat/CCP axis, thereby setting up the election loss. Dr. Li-Meng Yan, a virologist who fled from China and worked in the field of coronavirus research, claimed in the summer of 2020 that the Chinese Wuhan virus not only originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology but it was deliberately released by the Communist Chinese. There is now wide consensus that the virus escaped from the Institute, and that it was perhaps deliberately released. The virus was circulating among humans in China and Europe as early as October/November of 2019. Yet it took nearly three months until January 2020 for China to announce to the world that a new virus had ostensibly originated in a wet market in Wuhan and was rapidly spreading throughout the region. As a follow-up, the Chinese leadership initiated choreographed lockdowns of major cities and provinces for the world to obsess over as a means of exponentially increasing fear of the virus in the West. However, their official fatality numbers were absurdly low and remained so for over two years as China has reported a miniscule total death toll of just 4,638 or .0003% of their population (1.5 Billion) during this period. This appears to have been yet another ploy that enabled them to falsely tout to the world, and in particular the United States, how successful their near total lockdowns were in controlling covid. Duplicitously the CCP also closed down all domestic travel, but pushed to keep open foreign travel until the first of April 2020 (six months after first detecting the virus) thus creating the conduit to spread the Chinese Wuhan virus around the globe. Falling prey to China’s deceptions, Trump was initially deferential to China and praised their actions to supposedly contain the virus. By late spring of 2020, however, he was the lone world leader criticizing and condemning the Communist Chinese. However, by that time Trump’s mistaken acquiescence to lockdowns and social distancing in the United States had placed him in an untenable and unwinnable situation. Shutting down a nation to combat a pandemic had never been done at any time in human history. However, the politically compromised and dishonest medical advisors to Trump (Fauci and Birx) strongly urged Trump to agree to a lockdown and social distancing by pointing to the supposed success of China’s lockdown policies. Additionally, the political opposition and legacy media also promoted lockdowns and social distancing as they realized that they could serve as a vehicle to initiate and legalize mass mail-in voting and ballot harvesting throughout all the so-called battleground states. The folly began on March 16, 2020 when Trump announced an effective national shutdown of “15 days to slow the spread”. Within a matter of a week, he knew he had made a mistake as he watched the economy begin to implode. Nonetheless, he did not reverse course but continued to accede to a national policy of “temporary lockdowns”. His concession to a 15-day lockdown would inevitably lead to massive economic dislocations, long-term lockdowns and school closures and, more importantly, it allowed the various states to initiate their own lockdown regimens pointing to Trump’s decision as the basis. Inevitably, the 15 days soon became 45. Thereafter, it became impossible to reverse course as Trump was mercilessly mocked whenever he talked about ending lockdowns as the media and the democrats were incessantly fearmongering and the federal medical bureaucracy was deliberately inflating the infection and fatality numbers. Further, Trump was confronted with the reality that a president has no legal basis to intervene in the shutdown policies of the states. He unsuccessfully attempted to alter course and eventually did shuffle Fauci and Birx to the sidelines. But it was too late as the damage had been done and it was a near impossibility to stop the Democrat war machine from changing elections laws in many states before November 3, 2020. Donald Trump deserves to be recognized as an indispensable man who was the right president at the right time. However, when confronted from all sides by his adversaries and their manipulation of the Coronavirus Pandemic, Trump’s acquiescence and decision-making process were out of character as he was far too fixated on the upcoming election. If he is the republican nominee in 2024, and with a vast number of voters are viscerally opposed to him because of his personality traits, Trump needs to swallow his pride and openly and honestly address his failures during that fateful period or he will not again occupy the White House and China’s uncontested dominance of the globe will be inevitable.
