Clarence Thomas has reportedly spent decades accepting gifts, luxury vacations, and yacht rides from a major GOP power player—none of which were disclosed to the American public.

Sitting on the Supreme Court—it’s good work if you can get it. Justices enjoy a lifetime appointment, extraordinary influence over the lives of their fellow Americans, and little to no formal oversight. But if you’re, the gig apparently comes with additional perks: lavish vacations, access to private jets and super-yachts, and other pricey gifts, all courtesy of a billionaire and GOP mega-donor.

As you might expect, Thomas did not report any of the vacations, private travel, or gifts on financial disclosures, in what appears to be clear, if brazen, violation of ethics laws.told ProPublica. “When a justice’s lifestyle is being subsidized by the rich and famous, it absolutely corrodes public trust,” former government ethics lawyerechoed, warning that Thomas “seems to have completely disregarded his higher ethical obligations.

theEricLutz Does the Al Capone rule apply here? Did he pay taxes on the amenities? might be easier than impeachment

theEricLutz Stop being so racist, Vanity Fair. Not even subtle.

theEricLutz Perhaps tax laws too.

Corrupt.

Imagine if this was a liberal judge and billionaire Soros invited him to extravagant parties…

We were warned. Way back when. No one seemed to believe her. I did.

Sounds like bribes. Investigate, prosecute, disbar Clarence.

I don't think he's still on the quest - he's probably reached peak corruption.

He should be kicked off‼️

The GOP's motto: Alright for me, but not for thee.

on a quest? it appears his campaign has succeeded. SCOTUS sucks.

The impudence! The audacity! The unmitigated gaul!

“yacht ride”

“A high tech lynching”

This claim is not vanity and it is probably fair if the assertion is the receipt of expensive gifts without declaring them. If this unravels as it might, it would be sad for a man of such great standing to suffer an ignominious fall.

Our country is rotten

Uncle Thomas

My belief is that they don't give a single shit about Trump, they know that Thomas is in trouble and they're trying to stave off losing him. If they were for his wife, why does Thomas need to disclose? Did you check the wife disclosures? When I’ve been on trip my SO took, I didn’t have to claim it.
