How badly compromised are you Clarence? Show us on this doll what you had to do to keep getting gifts.

We seem to be stuck with him. And even if he fell off the boat and never returned, McConnell would work HARD to find a way to prevent Biden from appointing a replacement.

H W Bush’s longest-tenured blight on the republic, and probably his most cynical. Nominating this man to replace the late, great Thurgood Marshall, handing what was then the lone minority held seat on the Court to the antithesis of everything Justice Marshall stood for.

It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It. Especially a Republican Perjurer.

Only to those who choose to be blinded by justice

Wonder how much his master charges to rent him out, looked on the internet under ginny’s rates, and it said restricted: He claimed he was his own man or until ginny tells him otherwise.

He probably doesn’t declare the income he makes from selling his soul.

Thing is thomas, like the entire repug party, has discovered the power of shamelessness. He can flaunt his corruption, laugh at those who criticize him and rest easy knowing nothing can be done about it.

I agree with Mr. McCracken’s comments. There have been some interesting fact/opinion pieces written that discuss how Justice Thomas has benefitted from every minority benefit program of the last 50 years and hates himself for it, that he hates being Black. The vacations should help ease the pain.

The values of this person reflect those of people who empower this person.

Don’t be picking on uncle Tom.. after centuries of slavery he is entitled to be rewarded for all he does.

What a crook.

If Thomas thinks these were just gifts from a friend, he is not qualified to be a Justice.

During his confirmation hearings, things were going badly because of Anita Hill’s testimony. He made an impassioned speech incorporating the Phrase that Pays: “This is a high-tech lynching!” And he was confirmed.

Any bets he might bring out the Phrase again now that he’s in similar hot water?

America is a tremendously diverse nation, but whom do we have on the Supreme Court? Still mostly men (5). Mainly white (7). Mainly non-Hispanic (8). Exclusively elites (4 Harvard Law, 4 Yale, 1 Notre Dame). Heavily Catholic (6, plus 1 Episcopalian raised Catholic, to go with the token Protestant and Jew; 0 atheists, 0 Muslims, 0 Hindus, 0 Buddhists, 0 Confucians, 0 Mormons, 0 Sikhs, and 0 pantheists). Mainly East Coasters (3 from New York, 2 from DC, 1 each from New Jersey and Georgia, the other 2 from Colorado and Louisiana). 0 rurals. 0 foreign-born. All (probably) straight. Mainly married (7 + 1 divorced). Almost all millionaires (8).

Obviously, they’re all intelligent, well educated, articulate, and able-bodied, which one can hardly hold against them (unless you’re Roman Hruska), but it diminishes their chances of being able to empathize with millions of Americans who aren’t.

We always knew he was dishonest, now we have a better idea how much.

We can complain – and we should – about the lack of integrity of so many of the recent nominees…Thomas was its earliest example on the current court.

I watched his confirmation hearings – watched the testimony of Ms. Hill, and knew from the start just exactly what kind of “judge” he was going to be – and I’ve never been disappointed in my assessment…

It’s not only politicians that need Term Limits…

if that was really Clarence, his hands would be considerably lower than that. Just ask Anita.

Double blind(fold.)

He has certainly put new meaning into a “Doubting Thomas”…..

The rich and the corporations are on his side. That guarantees he will remain on the corrupt SCOTUS until he is pushing up the daisies.

His billionaire friend, according to several reports, collects Nazi memorabilia, including a couple of paintings by Der Fuhrer. I wonder how Justice Thomas would feel if this same billionaire collected slavery mementos as well, or instead?

Because taking a ride with your friend is now illegal.
