The "Justice" Thomas Thread

"The Yoko Ono of the Supreme Court."

Ginni Thomas pushed Arizona officials to reverse Biden's 2020 win

I could have sworn we had a thread about impeaching Thomas, but I can’t find it. Was it a tangent in some other thread?

Stop bumping this and giving me false hope that he's dead already

no u

Rich Higgins was an intel officer for SOCOM between 2011-2013 when Mike Flynn was in Afghanistan. He died in Feb from COVID - a blow to @January6thCmte Higgins helped Mike Flynn’s plan from the start. Here he's interviewed by Ginni Thomas, Clarence Thomas' wife in June 2017.

(CNN) A lawyer for former President Donald Trump described Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as "key" to Trump's plan to delay Congress' certification of President Joe Biden's victory through litigation after the 2020 election, according to emails recently turned over to the House select committee investigating January 6.

"We want to frame things so that Thomas could be the one to issue" a temporary order putting Georgia's results in doubt, Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro wrote in a December 31, 2020, email, adding that a favorable order from Thomas was their "only chance" to hold up Congress from counting electoral votes for Biden from Georgia.

This is fine.

COVID had both Trump and Ginny Thomas' sock puppet in it's grasp and failed us all. For that we should forever seek to eradicate it's existence from this world.

Clarence Thomas and the Billionaire

Yeah, what a corrupt piece of shit.

Shocking but strangely not surprising

Im guessing there’s some pretty high ethical standards relating to Supreme Court justices and what they can accept in terms of travel and gifts. This guy didn’t even disclose what he got

Seems pretty open and shut to me but nothing is when it comes to the higher ups it seems

Lol no there are no ethical standards whatsoever, at least none with any teeth.

In their infinite wisdom our Founders and their successors never seemed to stop and think that such standards were needed.

Really? Yikes

SCOTUS almost adopted a code of ethics back in the 60s after a Justice resigned when it came out he had an arraignment from a Republican donor to receive $20k/yr (~$150k in today’s dollars) for life and the life of his wife if he died first.

But they then decided they didn’t really need one after all, because ya know, the guy resigned.

They also ruled (unanimously no less) that public corruption/bribery only really happens when there is explicit quid pro quo. ‘I will take X dollars from you and do Y official act.’

Yup. There are financial disclosures "required" and a $415(?) "limit" on gifts (an order of magnitude higher than for literally anyone in any other part of the government) but enforcement is entirely internal or impeachment. And internal "enforcement" isn't any stronger than the Chief Justice asking politely for a resignation.

Thomas: It was “personal hospitality” so I didn’t have to report it!

So, the brother of Thomas’s friend is accused of sex trafficking.

Here’s a pic of the guy with some of his friends. See if you can recognize anyone in the picture.



Oh, and the guy’s supposedly chummy with Prince Andrew, so you know, “very fine people.”

Babe no those pictures are to remind me of her evil

Thomas didn’t disclose his real estate deal with Crow.

Mods, in all seriousness can we change the name of this thread to "The Clarence Thomas thread"? Or something, since it is no longer about the old hospitalization?

My suggestion: The "Justice" Thomas Thread

Don’t say I never did nothing for ya.
