Lists out a whole litany of gifts, forgiven loans, refusal to recuse and on and on. Our SCOTUS is corrupt and unaccountable.

It is still the most trustworthy branch of government and it is weird to see the corrupt executive and legislative branches pointing fingers at them.

You're correct. Justices clear many background check hurdles as they are working their way up to being considered for appointment to the SCOTUS and then they pass through the confirmation process if appointed. It's fair to question Clarence Thomas's integrity but I'd trust him with my life ahead of Trump or Biden.

+1 very true. Disgusted with our government, all three branches.

Not me. Thomas probably thinks a woman should be forced to have her rapist's baby.

I'm sure the corruption will end soon as long as we keep voting for Rs and Ds... lol

To anyone attacking Clarence Thomas ask yourself if this is about ethics or about politics.

Would you be okay if Thomas resigned tomorrow and Trump appointed a new 40 year old conservative justice to take his place?

Or better yet, if you think that other justices have done unethical things, or that the Court as a whole is compromised, would you be okay resigning and having Trump appoint nine new justices?

You are a sick racist who can’t stand to see an educated successful Black man flying on private jets and living the good life. Crawl back under your rock please.

I predict that both Thomas and Alito will retire before the '26 midterms so that Trump can replace them with two more equally as corrupt as the two who are retiring and join the other three corrupt Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch.

Agreed. Roberts is a disaster.

Nope. Not trustworthy at all. They are all for sale.

Doesn’t matter. And Thomas will resign now that trump was elected. He was doing a RGB holdout and win his bet. I imagine he will resign within the next 12 months. Thomas was corrupt the day Bush nominated him to the Supreme Court.

I was against Kavanaugh’s appointment and still believe he attacked that woman. I however have read some of his opinions and don’t find him to be extreme, at this time. Roberts and Gorsuch are a different story and are morphing into Alito and Thomas on extremism and corruption. Alito and Thomas are poster children as to why there should be either term limits or a reconfirmation period for federal judges.

Yes or no question: has Clarence Thomas known and been friends with Harlan Crowe for decades, long before Thomas was a Justice or Crowe was a billionaire?


Yes or No?

So is ANYONE gonna answer this?

It’s a simple answer. Can be turned up in seconds with a simple google search. No one’s gonna take a run at it?

And could we equally say that Sotomayor is at the beck and call of colleges and universities?

The Supreme court has only lost credibilty because the left is undermining it.
The right spent years complaining about the court legislating from the bench and being ideological but they didn't undermine the legitimacy of the court the way the left has been doing.

And this is the problem with the left's rhetoric around the supreme court. is it transparently obvious that they aren't actually concerned about corruption because nobody has even whispered accusations of corruption about Roberts. Sotomayor is clearly making more money from her position than him.

This is about the left being salty that SCOTUS is no longer left leaning. The right spent decades talking about the court legislating from the benhc but they never undermined it's legitmacy the way the left is doing. Undermining the legitimacy of legitimate institutions are no better than claiming that Biden stole the election in 2020.
