I don't typically agree with Eugene Robinson's views, but he has some points worthy of consideration. I think Thomas has crossed a protective boundary of the court, and blurred the lines of judicial impartiality avoiding even the appearance of conflict. The question is will he follow precedent, or damage the integrity of the court?

"A little context: In 1969, Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas resigned after it was learned that he had accepted, then returned, $20,000 from a Wall Street financier. At the time, Chief Justice Earl Warren felt it was important that Fortas step down to preserve the court's reputation."

…..Thanks to reporting this month by ProPublica, we now know that Thomas and his wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, a hard-right Republican activist, have been treated to lavish vacations worth hundreds of thousands of dollars by Harlan Crow, a politically active Texas billionaire. These jaunts included a vacation in Indonesia in 2019 that involved flights on Crow's private jet and an island-hopping tour on a superyacht a nine-day trip that alone would have cost the couple more than $500,000. If they had paid for it themselves. Which they did not.

There were also other trips on Crow's jet and frequent stays at properties he owns in the Adirondacks and in East Texas, according to ProPublica. Accompanying the Thomases as guests, at times, were conservative business executives and thought leaders.

And for some reason, Thomas failed to report any of these gifts any of them on the disclosure forms he is required to submit annually.

Nor did Thomas disclose the fact that Crow purchased the Georgia house the justice's mother lives in, then made tens of thousands of dollars' worth of improvements to the dwelling, ProPublica subsequently revealed.

We should have seen this coming. From 2003 to 2007, on his disclosure forms, Thomas checked the box labeled "none" for his wife's income. During that period, Ginni Thomas earned more than $686,000 from the conservative Heritage Foundation. When called on the lie, Thomas said it was an error "due to a misunderstanding of the filing instructions."


Likewise, regarding the trips he took at Crow's expense, Thomas issued a statement claiming that early in his time on the Supreme Court, he "was advised that this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends, who did not have business before the Court, was not reportable."

Stop laughing. All right, yes, it is hilarious. Thomas expects the nation to take seriously his views on the subtlest contours of the Constitution. He also expects us to believe he cannot understand a clear and simple instruction on a disclosure form; that he sees no distinction between "personal hospitality" and trips halfway around the world by private jet; and that he sees nothing wrong about having a member of the board of the conservative American Enterprise Institute purchase and fix up his mother's house. …

The droning on about him being black is getting so constant i wonder if that really is his sole defense. Funny that Repubs are the ones saying "can't hold this guy accountable, he's black!!" You partisan hacks are all the same.

just a hi-tech lynching of a black man who deigned to take lavish gifts and sweetheart deals for hisselfs.

What's good for the goose...

"One has to wonder if institutional racism is playing a factor here. I haven't seen any criticism of white justices for doing similar things. One has to wonder if the inherent racism of society is at play in these criticisms of a black justice. The fact we even have to ask if race plays a factor is evidence enough that race is playing a factor." -Any partisan hack from the left over the past 40 years

so being a lackey of one of the largest R political contributors in the country is nothing to you? Why not just let the Justices be on the payroll of special interest groups then, as long as specific cases involving the one specific owner don't come before the court, it is all good right? That is your logic.

Nor did Thomas disclose the fact that Crow purchased the Georgia house the justice's mother lives in, then made tens of thousands of dollars' worth of improvements to the dwelling, ProPublica subsequently revealed.

We should have seen this coming. From 2003 to 2007, on his disclosure forms, Thomas checked the box labeled "none" for his wife's income. During that period, Ginni Thomas earned more than $686,000 from the conservative Heritage Foundation. When called on the lie, Thomas said it was an error "due to a misunderstanding of the filing instructions."


Likewise, regarding the trips he took at Crow's expense, Thomas issued a statement claiming that early in his time on the Supreme Court, he "was advised that this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends, who did not have business before the Court, was not reportable."

Stop laughing. All right, yes, it is hilarious. Thomas expects the nation to take seriously his views on the subtlest contours of the Constitution. He also expects us to believe he cannot understand a clear and simple instruction on a disclosure form; that he sees no distinction between "personal hospitality" and trips halfway around the world by private jet; and that he sees nothing wrong about having a member of the board of the conservative American Enterprise Institute purchase and fix up his mother's house. …

…..Thanks to reporting this month by ProPublica, we now know that Thomas and his wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, a hard-right Republican activist, have been treated to lavish vacations worth hundreds of thousands of dollars by Harlan Crow, a politically active Texas billionaire. These jaunts included a vacation in Indonesia in 2019 that involved flights on Crow's private jet and an island-hopping tour on a superyacht a nine-day trip that alone would have cost the couple more than $500,000. If they had paid for it themselves. Which they did not.

There were also other trips on Crow's jet and frequent stays at properties he owns in the Adirondacks and in East Texas, according to ProPublica. Accompanying the Thomases as guests, at times, were conservative business executives and thought leaders.

And for some reason, Thomas failed to report any of these gifts any of them on the disclosure forms he is required to submit annually.

Of course it will keep going as long as both sides are filled with sheeple, mad at one of the 2 players, rather than at the game.

I have no problem with him hanging out with wealthy people on his own nickel. It's when he, or any other justice, or judge accepts lavish gifts that creates at the very least the appearance of impropriety. When you accept such a judicial appointment, you are expected to hold yourself to a higher ethical standard. Conservatives would complain, and rightfully so, if Justice Kagan had accepted similar trips from George Soros. We shouldn't sacrifice integrity for politics.

Nothing liberals hate more than a conservative black man..

The droning on about him being black is getting so constant i wonder if that really is his sole defense. Funny that Repubs are the ones saying "can't hold this guy accountable, he's black!!" You partisan hacks are all the same.

---

hold him accountable to what?

---

so being a lackey of one of the largest R political contributors in the country is nothing to you? Why not just let the Justices be on the payroll of special interest groups then, as long as specific cases involving the one specific owner don't come before the court, it is all good right? That is your logic.

Much better than being a lackey of China, Ukraine, Russia, and a handful of drug cartels in Mexico.

Ten percent for the BIG GUY!!!!

An actual response. Thank you.

Now read the links you provided. Justice Jackson amended her previous disclosures to include travel expenses to two speaking engagements (both related to what she does in her normal work), money she earned from teaching a course, and money her husband earned (for what he normally does). Justice Sotomayor amended her earlier filings to include reimbursements for travel to professional speaking events ... things Supreme Court justices do all the time.

Do you really think those are similar to what Justice Thomas did?

Really?

But a SCOTUS judge having a direct financial relationship with a huge GOP donor and going on a bunch of lavish vacations with him isn't even worth the effort to acknowledge for Republicans because they just don't care.
