Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is acknowledging that he took three trips last year aboard a private plane owned by Republican megadonor Harlan Crow.
It’s the first time in years that Thomas has reported receiving hospitality from Crow. In a report made public Thursday, the 75-year-old justice said he was complying with new guidelines from the federal judiciary for reporting travel.
The filing comes amid a heightened focus on ethics at the high court that stems from a series of reports revealing that Thomas has for years received undisclosed expensive gifts, including international travel, from Crow, a wealthy businessman and benefactor of conservative causes. Crow also purchased the house in Georgia where Thomas’s mother continues to live and paid for two years of private school tuition for a child raised by Thomas and his wife, Ginni.
Gosh, it sure would have been nice if someone had tried to warn us about Clarence.
Instead Hillary hired the asshole who went after Anita Hill to run her presidential campaign. David Brock is useless. One of many idiot moves Clinton made to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Or like if anyone in Congress actually gave a shit before this hit the news.
Don’t know about that but it was evident that Spector browbeating Hill and Thomas mentioning lynching got the the committee to pass him through. The same sort of thing happened with Brett Kavanaugh
