BUT THIS IS THE PARTY OF BRIBES SUCKING GAMER LAWYERS!!!
This has become transparently clear in the wake of the truly staggering levels of corruption exposed in the recent articles on Thomas. Not a single senior Democratic official has called for Thomas’ impeachment.
Crow, a Texas real estate billionaire, has given millions to the Republican Party and supports far-right think tanks and organizations, such as the Federalist Society, that work to push the courts ever further to the right
OUT OF THE BRIBES SUCKING MOUTH OF A LYING GAMER LAWYER:
Following the April 6 ProPublica article, Thomas dismissed the allegations of corruption and violation of ethics laws, saying his forays with Crow were entirely innocent personal gatherings with a “dear friend,” adding that he had been advised by someone on the court that he was not obliged to disclose such activities.
Thomas and his wife, Ginni, have been taking luxurious vacations on Crow’s super yacht and private jet to far-flung destinations, as well as Crow’s private resorts in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York and in East Texas, often mingling with corporate oligarchs, the heads of right-wing think tanks and anti-democratic judicial groups. The total cost of these annual junkets, absorbed entirely by Thomas’ benefactor, adds up to the millions.
IF YOU THINK DEMS WOULD HAVE GOTTEN WORKED UP IF THOMAS WAS A DEM, JUST LOOK AT WHAT GAMER LAWYERS CLINTONS, OBAMAS, AND THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH!
Democrats rush to prop up Supreme Court amidst new revelations of rampant corruption
On April 6, ProPublica published a damning exposé of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ corrupt relations with billionaire Republican donor and Hitler-lover Harlan Crow. Since then, ProPublica and other news outlets have published further revelations of financial dealings with Crow and other sources of income either omitted or falsified on Thomas’ disclosure filings.
The Democrats have responded to the exposure of boundless personal corruption and political reaction on the high court with an effort to effect a cosmetic tightening of ethics rules, so as to shore up collapsing public confidence in the court and every other institution of the state. But the entire senior leadership in both the Biden White House and Congress has steered clear of demanding either the resignation of Thomas or his impeachment. It is well known that Thomas is by no means alone in accepting “gifts” from the ultimate paymasters of the robed defenders of capitalism on the high court.
ProPublica’s initial article documented the fact that for more than two decades, Thomas and his wife, Ginni, have been taking luxurious vacations on Crow’s super yacht and private jet to far-flung destinations, as well as Crow’s private resorts in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York and in East Texas, often mingling with corporate oligarchs, the heads of right-wing think tanks and anti-democratic judicial groups. The total cost of these annual junkets, absorbed entirely by Thomas’ benefactor, adds up to the millions.
Since his elevation to the Supreme Court in 1991, Thomas has been on the extreme right wing of the court. He was among the five Republican justices who voted in 2000 to halt vote-counting in Florida and steal the election for George W. Bush, the loser of the popular vote. He signed onto a concurrent decision authored by Antonin Scalia asserting that the American people did not have a constitutional right to vote for the president. (Scalia died in 2016 at a luxury compound in Texas owned by John Poindexter, a wealthy businessman and national security adviser under Ronald Reagan. Poindexter was convicted in 1990 in connection with his role in the Iran-Contra scandal, but the conviction was overturned on appeal the following year.)
An arch-reactionary, Thomas was part of the Republican majority that overturned Roe v. Wade last year. In his opinion he argued for extending the overturn of the constitutional right to abortion to attack birth control and same-sex marriage. He is presently conspiring with his fellow Republicans on the court to restrict or eliminate access to the most widely used abortion pill, a major step toward criminalizing abortion nationwide.
A sadist, he has joined in rulings rejecting appeals by prisoners, including death row inmates, who were deprived of basic due process rights, leading to hundreds of state murders. He routinely votes against all restrictions on corporate exploitation of workers and limitations on corporate money to buy elections and politicians of both parties.
Thomas has refused to recuse himself from cases related to Donald Trump’s attempted overturn of the 2020 election, despite the prominent role of Ginni Thomas in the conspiracy that culminated in the fascist storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Crow, a Texas real estate billionaire, has given millions to the Republican Party and supports far-right think tanks and organizations, such as the Federalist Society, that work to push the courts ever further to the right. In his mansion, he boasts a copy of Mein Kampf signed by Hitler, paintings by the author of the Holocaust and linens that carry the Swastika. He has said that his greatest fear is Marxism.
Following the April 6 ProPublica article, Thomas dismissed the allegations of corruption and violation of ethics laws, saying his forays with Crow were entirely innocent personal gatherings with a “dear friend,” adding that he had been advised by someone on the court that he was not obliged to disclose such activities.
For his part, Crow told the Dallas Morning News that the ProPublica articles were a “political hit job.” He denounced ProPublica as an organization “funded by leftists” and aiming to “destabilize the court.”
On April 14, ProPublica published a further article revealing that in 2014, Thomas sold a house and two vacant lots in Savanna, Georgia to Crow for a total of more than $130,000. After purchasing the house, where Thomas’ mother lived and apparently still lives, Crow plowed tens of thousands of dollars into the renovation and refurbishing of the property.
Thomas failed to disclose the transaction. As ProPublica reported:
The disclosure form Thomas filed for that year also had a space to report the identity of the buyer in any private transaction, such as a real estate deal. That space is blank.
This is an open-and-shut violation of an ethics law for federal officials enacted in 1978 in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal. It requires all federal officials to disclose any real estate transaction worth more than $1,000.
In recent days, other revelations of criminal concealment and false reporting by Thomas have emerged, including:
- Thomas failed to report $686,589 in income that his wife earned over five years from the Heritage Foundation, as well as two years of her income from Hillsdale College, a private Christian school in Michigan which has emerged as a think tank for the far right.
- He has reported between $50,000 and $100,000 in annual income from a real estate company and for years referred to it by an outdated name on disclosure forms.
- Thomas did not report reimbursement for teaching at the University of Kansas and the University of Georgia several years ago.
- From 1998 through 2003, Thomas accepted $42,200 in gifts, making him the top gift recipient on the court at the time. The justice who accepted the next-highest amount was Sandra Day O’Connor, who received $5,825 in gifts.
Much of this information is not new. Thomas’ sleazy relationship with Crow has been well known in Washington since the early 2000s. His lying on disclosure forms about his wife’s income was exposed in 2011 by the liberal advocacy group Common Cause, and his concealment of reimbursements from universities was tagged by the Fix the Court group in 2018. After each exposure, Thomas simply amended his disclosure forms ex-post-facto. He has let it be known that he intends to do the same in relation to his real estate deal with Crow.
If little has been made of these scandals, it is because the ruling class, and particularly the Democratic Party, care infinitely more about the stability of the state and its institutions than the democratic rights of the American people.
This has become transparently clear in the wake of the truly staggering levels of corruption exposed in the recent articles on Thomas. Not a single senior Democratic official has called for Thomas’ impeachment.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, has limited himself to calls for Chief Justice John Roberts to investigate Thomas and impose a new code of ethics on itself. On Friday, he and other Democrats on the Judiciary Committee called on the Judicial Conference, the policy making body for the federal courts, to refer Thomas to the attorney general for an investigation into “whether he violated federal ethics laws”—as if there was any doubt!
Beyond that, Durbin has promised to hold a hearing “regarding the need to restore confidence in the Supreme Court’s ethical standards.”
Senator Bernie Sanders, who once cynically proclaimed himself the leader of a “political revolution,” rejected point blank a call for Thomas’ impeachment in an interview Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” program. Asked if he supported calls by a handful of Democrats to initiate impeachment proceedings, Sanders said: “The first thing you want to do before you impeach somebody is to investigate the situation, and I think that is what the Department of Justice should be doing.”
THOMAS IS A RENT BOY FOR THE RICH. JUST AS JOHN ROBERTS IS FOR THE BUSH CRIME FAMILY AND WALL STREET.
WHY NOT IMPEACH THE ENTIRE SUPREME COURT AS THEY'VE ALL COVERED FOR THIS PIECE OF SHIT LAWYER JUDGE?

Ocasio-Cortez: ‘The Crime Wave Is Within the
Republican Party’
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that there was a crime wave “within the Republican Party.”
Discussing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepting gifts, anchor Dana Bash said, “You know full well that the House is now run by Republicans. How are you going to move what you’re calling for articles of impeachment through a House that is run by Republicans?”
Ocasio-Cortez said, “There is the question of the politics of what we are doing, and there’s the question of the course and the accountability and the structures of what we are doing. I admit it is a it is very difficult to see a path in a Republican Party that refuses to hold itself accountable and, in fact, breaches the law itself. For all of their talk of a crime wave, Republicans talking about crime waves across the country, the crime wave is within the Republican Party.”
She added, “It is within all of what we are seeing. We are seeing breaking of the law by conservative members of the court. We are seeing a former president of the United States just indicted in in recent days. I mean, we need to hold our systems accountable. I do not believe that we should be refusing to do that for political reasons. I believe that we should pursue the course. And if it is Republicans that decide to protect those who are breaking the law, then they are the ones who then are responsible for that decision, but we should not be complicit in that.”
