That’s BS. He WAS disclosing it earlier in his tenure but then he stopped.

He says 25 years. That would mean they weren't friends when he first joined the court.

I think the PP who posted Heather Cox Richardson’s post had a Chris Murphy quote in it that Crow only sought out Thomas after he made it onto the court. Blatant corruption.

So in your view, there would've been no way for Thomas to form a genuine friendship and personal relationship with someone as rich as Crow?

Let's just assume these guys are soulmates. Thomas would love to just hang out with Crow at Walmarts and barbeques and whatnot but Crow has more exotic tastes. Thomas has no choice but to go along with these lavish accommodations. The alternative would be a painful, unendurable separation from his dear, dear friend. In that situation, Thomas should recuse himself from cases involving Crow, the companies from which he benefits, and the causes for which he advocates.

Gotcha, has anyone identified which cases Thomas should've recused himself from in which Crow had interests?

Another issue I have heard is spouses who work or associate with law firms that have Supreme Court practices that come before the courts. Should those Justices similarly recuse themselves?

Thomas should have just paid his own way. If he cannot afford to do that, he cannot afford to go (just like the vast majority of Americans)

Thanks. So you know about which cases or nah?

It doesn't matter. No federal employee should be accepting huge gifts from anybody. They should live off their salary.

Fully agree. How did the Bidens get so wealthy again?

Where’s your evidence?

He sold a sh#t-ton of books and gave 50 paid speeches, most of which were about his books and half were open to the public & press.

Pretty low key stuff.

Shocker!!!

Vacationing with people who are likeminded is one thing. Having those friends pay every cent of your luxurious vacation is quite another. I don’t vacation on my friends’ dimes …. Particularly not to the tune of $500,000 a vacation.

Agree 100% I have never had any friend pay or subsidize my vacation expenses to Justice Corrupt's extent. Even when I am invited to a beach house, I make sure to bring an expensive bottle of wine and/or pay for dinner out at the beach. I would not even dream about accepting this sort of vacation. [And I certainly have plenty of friends in the top 1%.] Justice Thomas is simply corrupt.

How do you know he didn't reciprocate with gifts?

please be serious.

The op has unwittingly hit on why Thomas’s corruption is so rotting to the country. He did reciprocate - with decisions beneficial to Crow and the far right interests Crow represents.

Oh great just what this story needed.

Harlan Crow collects Hitler and Nazi artifacts. As someone who appreciates history, I can respect that. BUT he then displays them all over his house - THAT is creepy and definitely makes you question his motives.

Like you're sitting down for dinner and this is on the wall?

This is the point of financial disclosure forms and the point of taking it all seriously.

But the GOP doesn’t believe in the government. It doesn’t believe in a stable society; like college freshmen who have read Ayn Rand and think they’ll blow it all up to replace it with a shining world in which everything is better (for them), they haven’t really thought it through, but they’re happy to make a mess right now.

If you don’t think the reciprocation calculus changes from some nobody (sorry, PP, you’re not a nobody, you’re just not on the SC) who has rich friends to the situation in which a SCJ has a friendship magically cultivated by a billionaire who just happens to be involved in all these groups who put court cases before the judge. #samesies

It shows $9M from a company. Doesn’t show what that company paid him for. Access?
