Justice Clarence Thomas’s finances are in the spotlight — again.

A conservative judicial activist paid the Supreme Court justice’s wife thousands for consulting work but deliberately left her name off the paperwork, Post reporting found.

What a enormous hypocrite.
He complained about
welfare queens & social handouts, while he & family received vacations, homes, college tuitions for decades from billionaire donor. Handouts, bribes or just gifts; y'all decide ~

As a huge fan of blatant corruption, this a big win for me and my constituency.

[jimstoesz]

Sometimes something isn't "officially against the rules" because it's okay to do, but rather because it's so incredibly against all good sense that the people making the rules never thought they'd have to spell it out.

[nwatson]

Its only a crime when the POORS do it!

[jodirook]

Expand SCOTUS to 13, and put HONOR back in 'Your Honor'

[kjdunne]

All of a sudden, conservatives are REAL SILENT about "activist judges!"

[kaseywahl]

We are the new peasant class. Our elected officials and our judges act with impunity and they face no consequences for their actions.

[Leonlion]

Wait, how are judges be punished if they are the one giving out the verdict? Especially a Supreme Court judge? Calling them Justice is really ironic

[TheSuperAtheist]

The not so Supreme Court. Thomas should be impeached

[T_Raffety]

The constitution says that justices can only serve under good behavior; how tf is what Clarence doing considered that? Impeach him.

ALL positions in the government should and need to have reasonable term limits including the suprem court. No one should have power for too long.

[Reaper]

WE the people are private citizens, not the Supreme Court, not the Senators, not Congress, all government officials are PUBLIC SERVANTS.

Imagine if you will, an employee working for you, decides to give himself a personal pay raise because he's in real tight with the financial department.
Would you accept this type of action?
No. His ass would be fired and black listed so fast even SNL couldn't write a skit about it being funny.

[GraceCreatesLivingSpace]

Confidence isn’t low in the Supreme Court, confidence is zero.

[mattbidart]

Lack of confidence is an understatement

[deskslam]

The Supreme Court doesn't have to worry about public opinion. They're practically immortal.

[Frank_Starkly]

The idea that a politician could be in power most of their lives and not be corrupted is ridiculous. Point a glaring light at any politicians serving over a decade and you'll find questionable funds.

[wildbill]

People do jail time for less. Lock up Clarence Thomas

[riku]

Ban giving any gifts over 50$ to any judge and if one is given/accepted both giver and judge go to prison.

[alexanderdooley]

can we look at all congress like this and stop all corruption? we need to take congress right to hold stocks while in office, term limits, and make accepting lobbist money

Not long ago here in Australia, a state leader lost his job for accepting a 3k bottle of wine he didn't declare.
