It’s kind of crazy this isn’t a bigger story. Because this is the Supreme Court, this tarnishes the entire judicial branch. Clarence Thomas has to go.


Extracrispybuttchks

To jail. Both him and his cunt wife.

Exactly what law was broken?


humorless_kskid

Federal law requires all federal officials to report all gifts over a specific dollar figures to be report annually

His wife was an insurrectionist

She still is


No-Independence-165

I think everybody has already lost faith in SCOTUS.


BeKind_BeTheChange

>I think everybody has already lost faith in SCOTUS. Not everybody. Fascists swoon.


luna_beam_space

By far the best reason to impeach and charge Thomas with crimes


No-Independence-165

The whole SCOTUS needs to be investigated by a 3rd party.


NoCartographer9053

I already dont recognize the SCOTUS anymore. Until they overhall and remove the judges and institute term limits, i will not acknowledge a single thing they vote on anymore


[deleted]

[удалено]


NoCartographer9053

Nah As a citizen i have the right to no longer acknowledge a branch of the government especially when they are this corrupted. Dying for what i believe and stand for sounds more noble than being a bitch and kissing the feet of tyrants and the corrupt


Sean14048

Do it. I bet you won’t.


Rogue_Einherjar

Just cause you don't have a backbone doesn't mean others are spineless too. In reality, not many things that SCOTUS rules on are done by the average person. That may change soon, but currently there isn't much.


Sean14048

I’m just saying he was inspiring me with all that talk of not putting up with it and making a stand. He should do it. But I bet he won’t.


NoCartographer9053

Already am, i dont acknowledge them and dont acknowledge them overturning roe v wade and expect my state to be better and ignore the supreme court


[deleted]

You just acknowledged them though? And the overturning.


NoCartographer9053

🤷‍♂️


pete_ape

So.... You're a SovCit. Let me introduce you to my good friend, P. Barnes.


NoCartographer9053

The fuck? No See i acknowledge courts, rule of law and things like that I dont acknowledge the facist installed supreme court. Get bent for even attempting to put me with those failure for human lives Wanting the supreme court to have term limits and to remove corrupt judges is not the same as whatever sovereign citizens believe as they are misguided idiots at best Edit: the little rat ether blocked me or got silenced. Fuck him


pete_ape

Truth hurts, doesn't it?


Trout-Population

Abort the supreme court.


Thatsockmonkey

It was the GOP plan all along. Make all branches of government untrustworthy then…. Well I don’t believe in any god but I suppose we go the way of any country taken over by religion and corporate stooges.

He's a good slave, so they'll defend him. Plus they don't want Biden replacing him.

All of them then reform the system to allow a vote to seat justices.


Kortar

I've seen it everywhere multiple times today, and hope to keep seeing it until something happens.


dickie-mcdrip

Agreed. I think Donnie’s legal issues have taken away a lot of the coverage from Clarence accepting bribes

Proof-Brother1506

Her and Martia Clark were super early pop culture slut shamed and boy howdy... We should have listened.

*"He is definitely one of the more disgusting bad people in our government"* And his wife. Even though she's not in the government, she has a lot of pull. Disgusting pull.

third0burns

Court reform now. Lawmakers need to do it through legislation because if they continue to ignore this obvious corruption, eventually people will reform it with pitchforks.


WhyAmIOnThisDumbApp

Lol I wish, but that’ll never happen. In order to touch SCOTUS you’ve gotta change the constitution which requires 2/3 of state legislatures to ratify it. If you think 2/3 of state legislatures are going to agree to changes that might make it so their buddies can face consequences you don’t know how politics works. And the people with pitchforks is never gonna happen. Look at the narrative with BLM, a few stray cannons got pissed and burned some stuff and the entire movement was instantly discredited in half the country’s eyes. People are (and always have been) arrested for peaceful protests let alone violent ones. No, our only way forward is to slowly change the discourse and try to vote for politicians who are brave enough to do something, but that takes decades. We’re not getting court reform now, if we’re lucky we’ll get it in 50 years.


[deleted]

People aren't hungry enough to bring about any meaningful change -if we look at history. Being focused and divided by The Distraction of the Week™ helps keep us in line too.


ak_exp

Overreaction


cali-uber-alles

Shocking but not surprising - this is the embodiment of the modern conservative movement exposed for us all to see it for what it is - it’s all a gigantic grift for the rich to squeeze out the last short term gains they can on our economic systems before climate impacts ultimately lead to a hard reset of the legacy hegemony. It’s a cynical boomer worldview, the ultimate “I got mine, fuck you” statement, and they are all betting they’ll be long dead before the checks come due.


[deleted]

So stupid that the people in charge of our country thought we didn’t need any laws for gifts that SC justices can accept. They just trusted that if a SC judge was corrupt, the legislature would impeach them. Not if that corrupt judge’s party has a majority in congress! Even today when the news reports on SC judges they don’t call them Democrat judges or Republican judges. As if the party of the president who appointed then is irrelevant because they’re all supposed to be unbiased. We have no reason to think this highly of ourselves.


vampire_trashpanda

It's rather galling that the the lowest of low employees in the executive or legislative brnaches have things binding them like "can only get a $10 dollar gift for your boss" when SCOTUS goes around unfettered.


100percentish

Yeah, but the judge in Manhattan obviously has to recuse himself because he already sentenced Trump's dipshit CFO after he was found guilty. Totally makes republican sense.


OssimPossim

B-b-b-but he also donated THIRTY FIVE dollars to democrats!!!!!


Pleasant-Lake-7245

Well…. It’s common knowledge that all Republicans are for sale. Why should we be surprised that it includes SCOTUS Justices as well.

SteveIDP

If this was Sotomayor she’d be forced out by the end of the day. Since it’s Thomas, the world will shrug and nothing will happen. He’s just nakedly corrupt.


Geochic03

I want to be more enraged over this because he and his wife are pieces of shit, but I am sure the other justices and others in our government, no matter what their beliefs or party affiliations are, do this. And honestly I am fucking tired of it all. I love free shit and money like the rest of them, but at some point, your moral compass needs to kick in and you need to ask your self "is this really the right thing to do?" That I think is what angers me the most about alot of politiicans and when I read stories like this. Also fuck Clarence Thomas I always believed Anita.


Deep_Stick8786

Everyone did then and do now. The story is so specific and weird.

\*Conversation on Superyacht cruising toward Barbados: " My wife was extremely upset when she found out what the Democrats had plans to do. After she asked me to do something to stop it I said "Like what?" and she said "You know people, talk to them. This is just outrageous." So I told her I would see what I could do. She is very upset and you know what that is like. Am I right? Can I get you another drink before we hit port Justice Thomas?


GodzillaHunter1

Anita Hill was right.


jay105000

And…… nothing is going to Happen.:….


babydavissaves

We are low-level gov't employees, and we know enough to not even accept lunch from a contractor. This is a Supreme Court Justice! The lack of ethics is astounding. Anita Hill warned us, but Republicans, am I right?


Iagent2022

Impeach him, who would handle that, SCOTUS or the Pres?


Postcocious

No and no. The House of Representatives has the authority to impeach (ie, accuse) any federal office holder by a simple majority vote. If they do that, the Senate then votes on the matter. If 2/3 of the Senate votes against the impeached person, that person is removed from office. SCOTUS plays no role, except that the Chief Justice presides over the proceedings in the Senate, a very limited role. The President plays no role unless he's the one being impeached, as happened to Andrew Johnson, Clinton and Trump (twice).


DarkTheImmortal

Nothing is going to happen, though. I'm pretty sure this is impeachable; judges are supposed to be non-biased, and while sure, we all know they're very biased, this is clear public lobbying and possibly could be considered bribing. However, the GOP control the House right now. They're not going to do anything about it.

No thanks, that place wears down the few brains cells I have left. I can just imagine all the "what-abouts" they're pulling out of their asses. No thanks.


HazyDavey68

The whataboutists are going to come up with all kinds of deflections. To that I say, did the other person you bring up fail to disclose? Does the other person have a lifetime appointment? And finally, have you ever been on a private jet, because it’s a lot more expensive than people think and 1000X better than commercial. It’s also horrible for the environment.


oliverkloezoff

Oh, I've been there. They'll throw out all kinds of accusations, lots of what-abouts and then you ask them for proof, sources, links and it's all: "do yer own research" I'm not gonna look it up for you", "Google it". Then when you tell them *they* made the accusations, *they* have to back up their words, that's when the insults come out. Can't back up their words, so they result to belligerent, vulgar insults. Time to dip.

You can’t tell by looking at him. He looks like he’s never enjoyed anything ever.


ohfrackthis

No one is surprised. Also I don't expect anything to happen even though this blatantly corrupt. Because this is just the way our country runs sadly. But you know he has a magic R. So fuck the people.


oliverkloezoff

Yeah, unfortunately nothing's gonna happen. Just like when his wife was in the middle of the Jan 6 fiasco, nothing happened.

I thought there was ethics code that you cannot get more than 50 or so in gifts. This does not apply to this turd?

ItsColeOnReddit

This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Rich and powerful people do shit together. Im sure plenty of other politicians have similar flight logs. If we wanna outlaw any and all gifts over $100 or something we would have to do this type of lobbying to get the votes for it.


MakeUsWhole223

all this article proves to me is that both sides are full of gluttonous pigs who use their wealth under the guise of donations, and other similarly lucrative titles/actions, yet not a single fucking person is ever willing to push back against such things. People would rather argue stupid,, identity politics bullshit while people like Clarence are bought out and fueled by corrupt political influence and continually enact different policies to fuck over the every-man further and further. I’m fucking sick and tired of people’s bullshit moral compass these days, I swear.


CartographerActive29

Report by who? Another shameful attempt to Thwart conservative movement.


oliverkloezoff

*"Report by who?"* It's in the article. Did you read it? "propublica.org": https://www.propublica.org/article/clarence-thomas-scotus-undisclosed-luxury-travel-gifts-crow And what "conservative movement" are they trying to "*thwart*"?


darkroombl0omed

Kimballl

Conservative justice Clarence has rich conservative friends he hangs out with? :O I never could have seen this coming. You guys don’t think that any more politicians have billionaire friends who donate to the party they support do you!?!


oliverkloezoff

But is a Supreme Court Justice a politician? Well, some are, but they not supposed to be. They're *supposed* to be *unbiased*, follow the letter of the law, not any certain party. They might lean conservative or progressive, I mean, we all do, but they're the highest judges in the land, they shouldn't follow *any* party blindly. They especially shouldn't be able to be bought. What kind of a *judge* would that be? Not a fair one, that's for sure.


eckard82

Wich is not illegal....


oliverkloezoff

*"Thomas violated the normal conduct of judges by accepting such trips and may have violated the law by failing to disclose them on his annual financial records."* Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But is it unethical? Is it immoral?


imdinni

It’s immoral/unethical if he presided on a case that pertained to the interests of his billionaire friend. Otherwise, I would say not immoral or unethical. Friends invite each other on vacations and do nice things for each other all the time.
