My take on Clarence Thomas ...

[KLATTU]

What he did does not pass the ' other foot 'test. IF a liberal justice did it, right wingers would be bitchin and moanin'.And I don't know hat the rules are, but if this kind of thing isn't expressly prohibited, it should.
That said, I don't any kind of impeachment is in order unless somebody can point to a case where his decision was influenced by this gift.

Worst justice on the court

But he broke no laws here

I doubt there is any one case more an influence to keep him on the "right" side of conservative thinking.

Very few things that people on either end of the political spectrum bitch about pass the "other foot test." This is certainly no less sleazy than anything that was going on with the Biden family, but people on the left deflect that all day, every day.

If the gifts were super cool and aboveboard, why didn’t he disclose them?

He’s blatantly unethical, refuses to recuse himself from cases that are connected to him, and if our system wasn’t broken he’d be ejected from the Supreme Court by catapult. He is exactly why “unethical” and “corrupt” are words.

My take on Clarence Thomas is he is yet another in a long line of corrupt politicians pretending to be a Constitutionalist Supreme Court Justice.

My take on you is greatly diminished, which I am surprised is possible given your history here, seeing that you are okay with blatant situational ethics and clear hypocritical position on what we know so far of Clarence Thomas all likely because you agree with him ideologically.

where did you get the impression I was okay with it? Was it from this? ."And I don't know hat the rules are, but if this kind of thing isn't expressly prohibited, it should."

Yet you did nothing here but deflect. What does Biden have to do with this?

The rest of your post, with a sort of leeway that you clearly do not give those you politically disagree with.

 

[VanceMack]

The rules should be the rules...and not just people poutraged when 'the other guys' do it. No one on the left shit themselves over the Notorious RBG travling on leftists dime or received millions in donations to her 'charity'.

Ah, but a man of such great moral integrity as he knows any holding him in reproach are themselves the sinner, so he need not concern himself with what people would think if someone else did the same thing as he.

Seems like a fair-minded assessment. Kudos to you.

I agree and he is not a judge at all but rather a radical right legislator who is taking full advantage of his celebrity in a disgustingly decadent manner.

What was going on with the Biden family? I haven't heard.

Yep

You like playing identity politics when it suits you, eh?

Seriously?
God bless you.

The facts don't support your false equivalence

 

[Ambig]

Seriously?

Mostly. I hear about all sorts of evil which the Bidens have done, but I never get any details.

God bless you.

Thanks. We're tight, me and God.

Who cares about details? Lol

 

[Jessie C]

Anyone who believes for one second Thomas is innocent of any wrong doing just fell off a turnip truck. What do folks talk about on family vacays? Everything but politics? COME ON!

I'm a supreme court justice. I must be impartial and follow the rule of law. AND

I have a hard reich wing activist as a wife, and hang out with reich wing megadoners.

INNOCENT, I swear!!!!

He's been doing it for 25 years. How many issues has he ruled on in 25 years? Unless his friend or he himself tells us all the truth going back 25 years, we'll never know.

We do know that the senate will be investigating this. Maybe they'll be able to find something solid. Even with that, the votes for impeachment just aren't there.
He needs to be dealt with in other ways.

There is NO telling how his megadoner's influence has effected his rulings over the last 25 years, but theres EVERY reason to believe it DID! You can count on the fact he's all about the wealthy getting wealthier and avoiding taxes through an elaborate snake pit of loop holes. FIX THE F***ING LOOP HOLES! (Yeah, I know, ALL stinking politician cringe at that one, and they should). Oh right, can't do that, it would piss of the party of law and order.
