[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does Crow benefit from?  He's had no case before the Supreme Court.
Yes, Sotomayor disclosed --but she did receive funds from a company coming before the court and was required to disclose.

Big difference.[/quote]
This is complete BS. Trammell Crow DID have a case elevated to the Supreme Court which then declined to take it up, which benefitted Trammell Crow. And Crow is on boards of multiple right wing think tanks which write amicus briefs in all sorts of cases all the time.

Sotomayor disclosed her issue and having been informed, neither party asked her to recuse when provided that opportunity.

READ THE DAMN THREAD.[/quote]
More details here:

[b]13 cases Thomas has heard that Crow had an interest in one way or another and in all 13 Thomas sided with Crow's position.

This article lays out 8 of 11 of them where Crow's involvement was as board member. (Two other cases were in 2004 & 2021.)

AEI filed at least three briefs in the Supreme Court after giving Thomas this very expensive gift, and Thomas either sided with AEI or took a position that was much more extreme that AEI’s in all three of these cases.

ThinkProgress has now learned that a second Harlan Crow-affiliated group, the Center for the Community Interest, has a perfect record in front of Justice Thomas.

Crow served on CCI’s board alongside failed Bush judicial nominee Miguel Estrada. Westlaw’s database of Supreme Court briefs reveals eight briefs filed by CCI in eight different Supreme Court cases, and Justice Thomas voted for CCI’s preferred outcome in every single one of these cases.[/b]
