The list of gifts and hospitality Justice Clarence Thomas has received from wealthy friends is more extensive than previously known, according to a new ProPublica report.
He admitted wrongdoing when he feigned ignorance that he was supposed to disclose his lavish gifts for the last few decades.
This is just more info coming out about what he always hid from the American people regarding the huge under-the-table gifts he’s been receiving from billionaires all these years.
This person, masquerading as a judge, serves as a clear illustration of a tainted justice system.
It’s important to remember that not a single justice said the SC needs oversight for this stuff…
There’s clearly an issue, but none of them will admit because to them the optics of the court being corrupt is worse than the court being corrupt.
The whole system needs redone.
In light of Citizens United, they are just being the change they want to see.

I don’t know what you thought that means…
But it’s not her admitting the court has been corrupt for a long time
Removed by mod
Quote me the part where she admits the court is corrupt and needs oversight.
I won’t wait tho, because she didn’t say it in your link.
She just says they’re “looking into” people complaining it’s corrupt.
No idea how you can’t tell the difference, guess I overestimated people again
Next time you wanna move the goalposts just do us all a favor and shove em firmly up your ass
Well, at least we know what half of you’re username is accurate…
Not sure why you made that comment yesterday, deleted it, and made it again today tho.
But Lemmy has a block button for this exact scenario…
App I’m using is funky, didn’t realize it posted yesterday. Toodles!
Well, he’s not doing something illegal… unethical, yes. This is corruption plain and simple.
It’s illegal for anyone subject to laws. An apellate judge would be in prison for each and every one of these bribes, no option to resign.
And Thomas is not subject to laws. That’s the explanation.
He admitted wrongdoing when he feigned ignorance that he was supposed to disclose his lavish gifts for the last few decades.
This is just more info coming out about what he always hid from the American people regarding the huge under-the-table gifts he’s been receiving from billionaires all these years.
