The Clarence Thomas Scandal Is Somehow Looking Even Worse
ProPublica reports that Thomas was in debt, frustrated with his salary, and implying he'd resign from the Supreme Court if his financial situation didn't change—just before Harlan Crow and other conservatives started lavishing him with expensive gifts and luxury vacations.
Before he began receiving expensive gifts and luxury vacations from Harlan Crow and other conservative benefactors, Clarence Thomas reportedly expressed significant concerns about his financial situation—even prompting concerns from a Republican lawmaker more than 20 years ago that he might resign from the Supreme Court if he could not boost his salary.
“One or more justices will leave soon” if justices aren’t given a raise, Thomas told then Republican Representative Cliff Stearns in 2000, as they flew home from a conservative conference at a Georgia resort, according to ProPublica.
Clarence Thomas is a disgrace. My opinion of this man could not get any lower than it already is. It disgusts me that he's openly corrupt and not a god damn thing is being done to impeach and remove him from the Supreme Court.
If something tragic were to befall Justice Thomas, I would read his obituary with great enthusiasm.
5 out of 9 are openly corrupt, see my recent posts about it with articles. He's just the one the media focuses on for some reason.
He's been acting on personal grudges against liberals instead of justice since 1993
