It is absolutely outrageous that our society lacks the power to evict this bought-and-paid-for crook from the throne of our justice system.

Best Justice money can buy!
Lock him up …… in his RV.
He’s claiming he took only a glass of water from the gift of his own personal well.
We have to believe their contempt. It is how they explain all this to themselves.
Too nice!
In a Wal Mart parking lot.
I wonder if he got pressure from the other justices. They like to think of themselves as real judges.
“A committee of judges of the Judicial Conference, the principal policymaking body for federal courts, also said last year it had launched a review of the allegations against Thomas. By law, if there is “reasonable cause” to believe a justice intentionally omitted information from a report, the conference is supposed to refer the matter to the attorney general.”
Newly motivated to review his old reports, Thomas has found that he inadvertently omitted information he should have reported, over, and over, and over again, for decades. Sometimes he missed things. Sometimes he just did not understand what the law required.
“Listen hard and listen good,” Thomas told allies. “I got $4 million from Harlan Crowe and Leonard Leo gave almost $1 million to my wife Ginni. What have I gotten from liberals and Democrats? Nothing. Why should I rule in their favor? I’m loyal to my owners,” Thomas added with a smirk and laugh.”
“Besides, no one can lift a finger to stop me. Mitch McConnell won’t ever let me get impeached and removed. Along with just buddy Sam Alito, I’m a guaranteed vote for his agenda,” Thomas concluded with a wink.
If the slothful perversity of the National Syphilitic Review was ever in question, this should end it:
It’s a stain on our justice system that Clarence Thomas did not have access to competent legal counsel over the past 30 years.
Thankfully, “I didn’t understand the law” is a valid legal defense.

Honest to God…TWO trips? He went to the Bohemian Grove? Not only should have he disclosed these ‘two’ trips but absolutely everything ELSE he took over the years!
I wouldn’t go that far. Reliable second-rate justice, sure.

six trips apparently to the Bohemian Grove.
As a SUPREME COURT JUSTICE he should not have been within 100 miles of the Grove. Talk about a ‘conflict of interest’(s)…
And what about his mother’s house and the RV.
Hard to argue against that…
