BREAKING: After getting caught red-handed, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas releases the most pathetic excuse you will ever hear.
Apparently he thinks what he did is OK because Harlan Crow was “a friend.” Apparently it’s OK because he conferred with his colleagues (probably…
His "dearest friends" are billionaires. Gee, I guess he's not prejudiced in favor of rich business interests much, is he?
We have a Supreme Court justice who is a hanger on in the plutocracy.
By the way, few sensible people will buy his excuses.
"He's 100% right. It's not illegal to vacation with rich friends. The new reporting rules weren't instituted until Mid-March of this year. Moving forward he'll have to report such trips but he previously did not."
By his own admission he never pays his own way when he goes on these luxury vacations.
WTF is JD Sharp and why should anyone care?
Perhaps because he tells the truth??
AND???
Vacationing with friends is not the same thing as vacationing with friends who always pay for everything. That is your "and".
Says you LMAO
So... You'd have no problem with Biden going on vacation with George Soros?
So what? He still did nothing illegal or unethical according to the rules at the time and you know it. So he has rich friends, big deal!
Which do they hate more, their idea that Clarence is an Uncle Tom or that a rich, conservative white guy is friends with a Black man.
Lol. Who do you think Democrats or liberal justices hang out with? You think the Obamas are down at the corner bar drinking boilermakers with guys from the local union?
Show us evidence that the 3 liberal justices on the Supreme Court have accepted gifts from billionaire real estate magnates, or from any billionaire. Attending parties or functions where there are billionaires present, if that happens, is not equivalent to accepting a $500,000 vacation trip.
Enough with your barrage of false equivalencies.
So if Ginsberg took a vacation to Israel paid for by a billionaire, you’d say she was biased in favor of rich business interests.
Would that make her a hanger on of the plutocracy? Or do you only apply those standards to Thomas?
Yep and Obama bought all his multi million dollar mansions with his community organizer salary ...
Obama earned his from three best selling books that each sold millions of copies...
The justices take many trips but it seems that they report them according to this report, something that Justice Thomas didn't do with the trips in question.
Justice Ginsburg appears to have reported all of them.
Obama did not pass judgement on the constitutionality of laws.
Gee, I guess she was prejudiced in favor of rich business interests.
She was a hanger on of the plutocracy.
As usual, you missed the point, or are displaying wilful ignorance.
She reported the trips and yes, including the one that you brought up to Israel.
you need to pay better attention.
Read John's statement again and see if you can figure out why you are wrong.
What about all the unreported income?
Yep and the Clintons were in the poor house when they left DC.
Trump earned his money via business. The Clintons and Obama’s scammed their followers for it.
Significant difference.
Reportedly ...
If I had nickel every time a liberal or progressive did that, I could buy you a 500k vacation John.
I did and I addressed the core issue of Thomas not reporting trips when other justices did report trips including the justice you mentioned.
Reporting is the issue of the article.
. As usual, you missed the point of the discussion between John and I or are displaying willful ignorance. Reporting has nothing to do with the point John made, nor to my response.
Your not addressing the core issue is par for the course.
So, the bottom line is that Thomas didn't declare the trips while other justices did.
Pay attention. John's point that I responded to has nothing to do with what Thomas reported. Zero.
you can't change reality, no matter how much you obfuscate.
Not trying at all, I leave that to you. I simply pointed out to you, since you felt the need to bring up Justice Ginsburg that she and the other justices reported their trips and Justice Thomas did not. That is a fact whether you want to acknowledge it or not.
Trump ripped off everyone he possible could. He was only sued about 1,500 times because he wouldn't, or couldn't, pay his bills. He inherited his money, and then lost lots of it because he is terrible at business. The last President to go bankrupt before Trump was McKinley, and Trump had six of them. Now, that's a record of accomplishment. These days he earns his money grifting off his gullible cultists. By the way, have you sent in your contribution this week? Trump really needs the money. Lindsey Graham said so.
He prefers spending other people's money.
Professional politicians like Biden, Clinton and Obama never built a thing. Never ran a company that provided jobs and livelihoods to real people.
They just suck off the government teat and TDS ridden, useful idiots that support them.
Dumbasses one and all.
You must hate Joe Biden.
Have his positions changed since he became a SC justice? No they have not.
This is nothing but more progressive nonsense.
Nothing more.
If he followed the ethics rules to date then this is a nothing burger outside of partisan outrage. Just another attempt to discredit a justice the left doesn't like or agree with. If he fails to follow the updated ethics rules when they become effective then there's an issue.
Once again we see the right try to hide behind the letter of the law.
Accepting a lot of gifts (money) from rich plutocrats when you are a Supreme Court justice is corruption.
Which case did he sit in judgment on that involved Crow?
No it's not John. This seems like another of your unsupported opinions
As stated in his response, the advice of his personal legal counsel said these types of situations need not be reported.
Also, his friend has no business before the court.
I would surmise there are all sorts of cases that come before the Supreme Court that Crow has great interest in.
More deflection.
I’d try to explain the differences between the two but I’m confident that it would be a massive waste of time.
All you do is make pointless pronouncements.
That is the real waste of everyone else's time they spend reading your comments.
If you have pertinent information regarding the seed then give it. No one cares about your judgements.
Your comments here just prove the old adage. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.
Oh well, at least a few of my fans here regularly vote you up. So you got that going for you.
Clarence Thomas is the reason faith in the court is at an all time low. This kinda shit right here is exactly why almost no one trusts them to be fair. When something like this happens, and then people find out that there is NOTHING in place aside from impeachment (lol) to remove them, what the fuck do you expect?
