Look I am not a fan of the Thomases but the only way we are going to improve the current situation is to stop demonizing each other.

Yes the SCOTUS should absolutely institute a code of ethics. When our society has eroding faith in institutions, they need to step up and be better!

This is the United States Supreme Court, not McDonalds. There should be a higher standard.

Did you miss my last paragraph?

Sure! I agree! But to learn one must acknowledge one’s mistake and reflect. To use empathy and to examine one’s feelings. Not say they don’t remember sending it.

Crystal Clanton lived with Justice Thomas and his wife Ginni for a year & they know her better than anyone making these despicable claims about her. In fact, Justice Thomas wrote a letter to categorically state: “I know Crystal Clanton and I certainly know bigotry. Bigotry is antithetical to her nature and character.” That should mean something.

Justice Thomas knows what a racist is - he survived Democrat racists growing up in segregated Georgia (yes, they were ALL Democrats). He has survived Democrat racists in DC who have attacked him for 40 years because he does not conform to their racist demand that he must think a certain way based on color of his skin.

I will take his word and judgment any day of the week, instead of these Democrat racists. Thomas knows racists all too well – and has never bent to them.

I know Crystal Clanton too. She is not a racist. It’s repugnant for the Left to smear this young woman to malign its true target, Justice Clarence Thomas. Shame on you.

Crystal will be a superb law clerk to our greatest Supreme Court Justice and our greatest living American.

Is it normal to hire a law clerk who has lived with you for a year? I've recused myself from hiring panels where I went to graduate school with the applicant. I didn't realize that Nepo Supreme Court justice clerks were a thing, but if anyone would push those boundaries, it's clearly Clarence Thomas.

It really feels like he’s doing this to rub in the fact that he’s corrupt and we can’t do anything about it.

Unless the GOP is completely put down.

All they did is pay ethics some empty lip service and call it a day. SCOTUS is a complete disgrace. I have zero faith, trust or confidence in them. And in fact I am starting to think that other entities should start holding SCOTUS in contempt and completely disregard their rulings until they get their house in order.

But aren't there federal rules about conflicts of interest in hiring? If you're hiring someone who lived with you for a year, it's like hiring your kid (which presumably is against some federal statute).

What does it matter? The GOP refuses to enforce rules, law and and even appearances for their party operatives.

It’s Biden with his sane, respected and qualified candidates or Trump with his corrupt, unqualified lackeys. Choose accordingly.

I love it when people are fortuitously aptly named.

Why did she live with them? I bet the reason is scandalous, like everything else about the Thomases.

It's interesting that she was already infamous for sending racist texts and Clarence Thomas hired her anyway. He's definitely got a mixed bag of law clerks.

The sad part is that only 36 law students per year get to be clerks and many talented students get rejected. It's not like Clarence Thomas couldn't have found someone who didn't live in his house and who didn't have a damaging online presence. He just did not give a f.

Because the left doesn't care about facts. The source is a group of fired employees, with one of them sending fake texts.

You may want to actually read the article you posted, which talks about how the federal judges who hired the Thomas clerk wouldn't face charges. It says that a person in a leadership role at conservative org Turning Point USA (vouched for her character, and said other employees were behind the racist texts. But the fact is that Turning Point USA terminated her employment after the texts came out.
