Literally everyone defending Thomas (well not the idiots and lemmings in this thread, but the elected ones) all have the same funding sources and compromises.

George Soros bought Elena Kagan's mother's house and is letting her live there, rent free because he wants to erect a Kagan museum there some day. Kagan didn't report this to anyone.

I mean, that's not true. But can you imagine? The right wing ecosystem would feast on the story for months if not years.

Oh she lives there rent free! Guess what judges has the most former law clerks appointed as judges?

Can people say what they actually want or expect to happen to Thomas? Why aren't more Democrats calling for his impeachment?

Seems like everything is a dead end, like this article.

They’ve invented a whole story about Biden getting billions from China that they’ve been recycling for years on end. I can’t imagine what they’d do with a story that was actually true.

Moderate democrats really do not see anything with the supreme court. They see it as a way to check the AOC/Pelosi lefties. There is no call for reform or action against Thomas. Just ask Kyrsten Sinema.

Sorry, kitten, she’s not a Democrat anymore. She’s an “independent.” She’s not checking anyone, she’s probably also on the take from Crow, too.

The right wing rejects the truth about grift, greed and corruption and instead prefers to cling to trashy fictions about the other side.

So is this just a quirk of our constitutional system? And this stuff is essentially allowable because nothing can be done right now? Is the limit to this type of behavior essentially the luck of the political winds or the amount of shame a particular Justice can muster?

30 years ago he would have to resign. Now he is fine. Nothing will come of these. Democrats are too scared of being calls names and the republicans love Thomas.

The Supreme Court needs to be expanded to about to about 54 judges and elected to 6 year terms.

Maybe this is the election in which we can finally finally talk about the court, and make it mean something to voters.

Oh come on folks, Ol' Clarence just "didn't understand" he's not supposed to lie, take bribes, and sell his influence. If only someone had told him!

45 years ago Abe Fortas did resign in a very similar scandal.

I am a moderate Democrat and I find the current construction of the Supreme Court to be horrifying. However, I am also a pragmatic realist who thinks there’s very little to do about it considering the current number of Democratic Senators and House members and saying we can make a difference in this environment is irresponsible.

Manchin has problems but he always votes for Biden judges and any other member of the Senate from West Virginia would not, so it’s pointless to complain about him. Sinema is an effing snake and I’m already donating to her Democratic opponent.

Meanwhile, here’s the bothsides take from the RWNJs at the Washington Examiner: “It's unclear what the scope of the panel's investigations could be, and its powers are limited by the GOP controlling the House. All Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee, except for Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), have been boosted through donations from Crow, who said in a statement Thursday that Thomas and his wife "never asked for any of this hospitality." Crow has also given lesser amounts in campaign money to non-Republicans through the years, including $2,800 to centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) in 2021 and $8,700 to Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) in 2021 while she was a Democrat, filings show.

The Texas billionaire has notably donated $311,100 to committees affiliated with Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) since 2001, according to filings. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) has received $19,500 in campaign donations since 2015 from the billionaire, according to filings, while Sen. Tom Cotton's (R-AR) campaign and joint fundraising committee have taken $23,900 since 2013.”

I think we did that in the last one, when people were standing in line waiting to vote while Barrett was getting sworn in. Shame about the last one, though.
