My guess is there were other instances where he was harassing women (in addition to Anita Hill), and the people giving him all these perks ever so gently suggested they had the goods on him.
Perhaps the Supreme Court needs to establish a way to catch these things early on, and a process to deal with the justices accepting gifts (bribes) like this.
Bribery is the cancer that destroys a nation.

Apparently Thomas out the word out (to Republican Congressmen, Rehnquist, etc) that he might resign from the Supreme Court because he wasn’t making enough money and the right wing money machine got worried so soon people came along to gift (sorry make a loan which was later forgiven) him a quarter million dollars to buy an RV, and private jet trips to fly him to yachts Indonesia, and pay off his mother’s mortgage and repair her house.
Just disgusting, esp because through it all Thomas emphasized his “aw shucks I like to vacation at walmart” BS.
The Robert Court is just a corrupt political institution that has lost all legitimacy.

I agree that he is corrupt but there is nothing even remotely humorous about him!
