For gifts of this size, wouldn't Thomas have to declare them on his income taxes?

His name is “Reek.”

What do you call a quisling who will sell himself out multiple times? I guess a Pence.

Coming this Tuesday...

Typical Washington stuff.

There would be nobody there if it was important or acted on.

It's "bad dems" this and "bad dems" that until it's pointed out that your own side is far worse... then it turns to putting up a front of cynicism, like "yeah well they are all corrupt" as though it's all 100% corruption and there is not a single person in government who isn't corrupt, which is also objectively false...

This is because “liberals are evil” and the only value is owning the libs. Burn down the country to make the liberals cry. These people are pathetic to hold their duty as citizens in such low regard. No honor at all.

Thomas needs to step down, or be impeached and removed.

Yes, Sotomayor disclosed --but she did receive funds from a company coming before the court and was required to disclose.

Big difference.

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.

More details here:

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.

Justice Thomas is very close to bribery here.

First, the views of these right wing groups on political and legal issues are very well known to all, and even the specifics would have been known to Ginni.

Second, Thomas regularly hung around with folks affiliated with these right wing groups, including regularly in private settings.

Third, Crow and these groups regularly provided substantial economic benefits to the Thomases, thru lavish travel, real estate purchases, tuition payments, and consulting fees to Ginni.

Fourth, some of those economic benefits were, timewise, close to targeted court decisions.

Fifth, most of those economic benefits were not disclosed.

At worst, the foregoing is circumstantial evidence. And all of the foregoing are facts!

Stop it.

You are in this thread, of all threads, and think that reporters only find the baggage that people “lay out” to them? Oh sweetie.
