'Clarence Thomas is corrupt – end of story': Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Ethics scandals, partisan rulings, and the lack of accountability are just some of the many problems currently plaguing the Supreme Court, with public confidence in the institution at a near-historic low. “Clarence Thomas is corrupt. End of story,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett tells Melissa Murray, in for Ali Velshi. “Nobody gets this kind of money and isn’t influenced in any way.” They’re joined by Michael Waldman, President and CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice, who points out that Thomas represents the fringe who have now “become the mainstream on this court.”

Amen Jasmine, thank God someone is willing to tell the truth. You call it like you see it. Corrupt is corrupt and that's all there is to it. Time for Thomas and Alito to step down, period.

It is ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVEABLE that people in these positions have a LIFETIME job. It can NEVER BE or BECOME a healthy legal system.

It gives me hope listening to politicians like Jasmine Crockett, also AOC of course, a new generation of brilliant women, hopefully with a lot of stamina!

Yes, Ma'am. I agree with you 💯. CT & Alito should be impeached. America deserves better...😮

[spiceyhotpot]

Any reasonable person would say Thomas and Alito are corrupt, compromised, partisan, and need to go.

[theStonedAgeGuy]

More people need to be calling out the blatant corruption.
