Appearance of Impropriety
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas now admits Texas billionaire Harlan Crow paid for luxury vacations to Bali and an exclusive California club.
When Thomas’ verified financial disclosures were released to the public, Thomas included a statement defending his acceptance of expensive gifts from Harlan Crow, a donor to conservative causes and MAGA supporter. Disgraceful.
Ginni Thomas is a lawyer and a prominent member of hard-right groups and “has declared that America is in existential danger because of the ‘deep state’ and the ‘fascist left,’ which includes ‘transsexual fascists.’”
The once august court, which the public held in highest esteem, is now hopelessly corroded: It is in the hands of a cabal of religious and far-right zealots, including a couple of ethical scofflaws with MAGA wives.
