It appears Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas may be in some hot water for failing to disclose multiple high dollar gifts and trips financed by Republican mega donor Harlan Crow. The ethics requirements of reporting are clear, public officials whether serving a term or a lifetime appointment must be free of bias, be immune to bribery, and report gifts in excess of $415 dollars. All of which Justice Thomas appears to have failed at.

The incongruity of high ranking Republicans who openly flaunt their big monies ties, while painting a picture of New York State judges being influenced by billionaire George Soros is yet another hypocrisy heaped upon the Right.

Clarence Thomas and the Billionaire

IN LATE JUNE 2019, right after the U.S. Supreme Court released its final opinion of the term, Justice Clarence Thomas boarded a large private jet headed to Indonesia. He and his wife were going on vacation: nine days of island-hopping in a volcanic archipelago on a superyacht staffed by a coterie of attendants and a private chef.

If Thomas had chartered the plane and the 162-foot yacht himself, the total cost of the trip could have exceeded $500,000. Fortunately for him, that wasn’t necessary: He was on vacation with real estate magnate and Republican megadonor Harlan Crow, who owned the jet — and the yacht, too.
